**Section 31 Spoilers!** Happy Tuesday everyone! Today’s guest is the amazing Rob Kazinsky. Rob and I have never worked together, but we’ve been in the same circles for years and it was such a pleasure to sit down and talk with him! You know Rob from his time as Sean Slater on EastEnders, and from playing Chuck Hansen in Pacific Rim and Orgrim in Warcraft. And now, he is fulfilling my dream and joining the Stark Trek universe. You can currently see him as Zeph in Section 31! We talk about the new movie and the controversy it’s stirring up among the Star Trek faithful. We also just talk about life, including Rob’s autism diagnosis and how he has weathered some challenging moments over the course of his career. I was surprised at how deep we got in such a short time, and I think you’ll enjoy this conversation! Be sure to stick around for the Hindsight, where producer Jeph and I discuss the episode and open up the Mail Sack for some fan emails. If you want to join me at the Indiana Comic Convention, I'll be there March 14-16! Get your tickets and come say hi: indianacomicconvention.com Send me an email thesackhoffshow@gmail.com Produced by Rabbit Grin Productions Mail Sack Song by Nicolas @producer_sniffles
1Hi everyone! Today’s episode was such a treat. I have known Alexandra Breckenridge since we were babies in the industry— we did a pilot together called Locust Valley almost 25 years ago. Since then, Alexandra has had an unbelievable career. She played Jessie Anderson on The Walking Dead, Sophie Larson on This Is Us and now she’s doing amazing work as Melinda Monroe on Virgin River. We talk about what it takes to build resiliency as an actor and why we both ultimately decided to leave California. I gotta say, she lives on a beautiful farm in Georgia and if you don’t already follow her on Instagram, you definitely should. Be sure to stick around for the Hindsight, where producer Jeph and I give an update on the fires in LA and read your pitches for how I can brand a day of the week for Bo-Katan (Fracked-Up Fridays, anyone?).

My guest this week is the one and only Mark-Paul Gosselaar. That’s right— it’s Zack Morris from Saved By The Bell! Teenage me would be absolutely FREAKING OUT. Of course, Mark-Paul has had a long and super-impressive career since his heartthrob days and we get into all of it. From Franklin & Bash to Pitch to his current role as Hugh "Sir" Evans on NBC's Found, he really has an unbelievable range. Plus, we also talk about our shared love of motorcycles (or maybe former love?), racing and fitness. The two of us could do a whole podcast about the glories of a cold plunge and sauna, but we TRY to control ourselves. After my conversation with Mark-Paul, be sure to stick around for the Hindsight where my producer Jeph and I discuss health trends, our sleep habits and the pros and cons of splurging on a fancy mattress.

Happy Tuesday everyone! If you don’t know this week’s guest, then I don’t know what to tell you. Lou Diamond Phillips is a Hollywood Institution and I can’t believe I get to call him my friend. I had such a crush on Lou in Young Guns and it still blows my mind I got to act with him all these years later on Longmire, where he played Henry Standing Bear. He’s had an incredible career, from La Bamba and Stand and Deliver, to countless TV and film roles— and let me tell you, Lou’s got some STORIES. We get into all of it, from the legendary dinners he cooked on the set of Longmire to his transition from bad boy to girl dad. You’re not gonna want to miss this one! And as always, stick around for the hindsight, where I answer fan questions, try out a new stripper name and unveil a special surprise for one of our guests!

Hey Everyone! Man, I love today’s guest. You know Emily Swallow as the Armorer on The Mandalorian, as well as from her many years on Supernatural. She is one of my absolute favorite humans— she’s wise, funny and a total badass! We discuss all things Star Wars, from convention life, to keeping plot secrets, to the challenges of acting in a helmet. We also have a great conversation about the role that faith plays in her acting and the way she has used her platform to help kids fighting cancer, through the organization Voices Against Cancer. Be sure to stick around for the Hindsight, where producer Jeph and I debate Daylight Savings and answer fan questions from the mail sack!

Hey everyone, what a year! On this bonus Hindsight, producer Jeph and I go over some of the highlights of this year’s show. From Paul Sun-Hyung Lee’s quest for his own action figure to Jewel Staite on posting sexy photos as a mom, there is a LOT to talk about! Plus, we revisit the most controversial clip of the year, when Ming Na Wen and I discussed how I could possibly NOT KNOW I was in a scene with Luke Skywalker and R2-D2. Jeph and I debate the pros and cons of living forever and brainstorm how to (finally!) get me into the Star Trek universe. Thank you everyone for an amazing year and get ready for big things to come in 2025!

Happy Holidays, everyone! On today’s special, extended Hindsight episode, Jeph and I are joined by our most-requested guest... Robin! Robin has written not one but three Hallmark movies, and we got to work together on his first one: Christmas Sail. We walked Jeph through the process of how that came to be and if we'll ever do another. And it wouldn’t be a Christmas episode without a debate about Die Hard (we settle it once and for all: Jeph is wrong), and we talk through some of your comments about your least-favorite Christmas traditions and what you’re hoping to find under the tree— good sex, apparently! Grab a mug of mulled wine and get cozy with us! Send me an email thesackhoffshow@gmail.com Produced by Rabbit Grin Productions Mail Sack Song by Nicolas @producer_sniffles
Hey everyone! I don’t want to brag but I’m friends with more than one super model. My guest today is one of them. Paulina Porizkova is a gorgeous human being inside and out. She is truly one of the most inspiring, honest, authentic people I know. I was supposed to talk to her about her book No Filter a few months ago but that didn’t happen…you’ll find out why in the episode. But we got a chance to talk about it on this episode amongst a whole lotta other things like grief, sharing yourself on social media, and one of my favorite topics, aging as a woman. Be sure to stick around for the hindsight where producer Jeph and I talk vulnerability, cargo shorts, and more F1 than he can probably handle.
Hey everyone, today on the show is one of my heroes and inspirations, Lucy Lawless. She is, of course, Xena Warrior Princess, but I first met her as Number Three on Battlestar Galactica. We didn’t get to work together a lot, so it was a joy to sit down and chat with her. Lucy just directed her first documentary, Never Look Away, the story of CNN war photographer Margaret Moth. There are a lot of lessons to learn from the documentary and Lucy has a lot of stories about getting it made and the challenges they faced. It was nice to get a chance to chat with her while she’s doing press for the film. I think Lucy and I had different experiences working on Battlestar so it was enlightening to hear her perspective. Stick around after the interview where my producer Jeph and I talk about the interview and my recent trip to see F1! Plus we answer your comments and emails in the mail sack!

Hey everyone! My guest today is actually one of my best friends, well he’s actually the husband of one of my best friends but I like him just as much! Teddy Sears is that guy you’ve seen in everything including his new show Brilliant Minds with Zachary Quinto. We talk a little about that show, the inspiration behind it, and what it’s like to work with Zachary. We also talk a lot about how Teddy got into acting so he’d have a good story to tell his grandkids and it somehow turned into a career. I’m pretty upset we have never had the chance to work together but let’s hold out hope that that will change soon! Teddy is a genuinely awesome person and I’m so lucky to have him as a friend. Make sure to stick around for the hindsight where my producer Jeph and I answer your comments and emails and I do my best to make sure Jeph will never be able to spell restaurant again in his life.

Happy Tuesday! I am very, very excited about today’s guests—mostly because my daughter is going to be their new best friend. Today, I’m talking to Barlow & Bear (aka Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear), the incredibly talented duo behind the music in the new movie, Moana 2, which comes out tomorrow, 11/27! If you have kids, are a kid, or just love Disney musicals, then you’re certainly as excited as I am about Moana 2 and the opportunity to move on from singing How Far I’ll Go around the house and get something new stuck in our heads! Abigail and Emily are delightful, super talented, and, most importantly, young enough to be my daughters. I couldn’t be more impressed by them and their journey—from winning a Grammy for The Unofficial Bridgerton Musical to being two of just a handful of women to compose music for a Disney movie. I can’t wait for you to get to know them. Remember to stick around for the Hindsight, where my producer Jeph and I talk about the episode and answer your comments and emails in the Mail Sack. This week, we’re giving you all the dirt on Hallmark movies!
Hello everyone! Today I have my great friend Ian Bohen on the podcast. You probably know Ian as Ryan on Yellowstone but he was also in Teen Wolf and he played Young Hercules before some other actor took over the role. Ian and I met while riding motorcycles for amfAR and have been good friends ever since. He has an amazing perspective on life and his career that I really take a lot of lessons from. He also has an amazing house so if you’re not watching video, maybe you should be? Remember to stick around for the hindsight where my producer Jeph and I discuss birthdays, the state of the industry, and why so many films and shows aren’t shot in LA. Plus, we answer your emails in the Mail Sack. Send me an email thesackhoffshow@gmail.com Produced by Rabbit Grin Productions Mail Sack Song by Nicolas @producer_sniffles
Happy Tuesday! Today, I’m so excited to be talking to one of my favorite nemeses, The Flash himself, Grant Gustin. I’m just joking, I love Grant. We did play foes on TV but we’re good friends in real life. And how could we not be? He was Sebastian on Glee! Grant just finished his run of Water For Elephants on Broadway in September and he and his wife welcomed their second child shortly after our conversation. Naturally, we talk a lot about being a parent, working in theater, being on a long-running TV show, and the changes of perspective he’s gone through in his career. Grant is super sweet and even showed me his purse. Stick around after our convo for the Hindsight, where my producer Jeph and I break down the interview, and he tries to get me to spill secrets about The Mandalorian. Enjoy!

Hey everyone, we decided to celebrate America’s right to vote this week by having British and French actor Jamie Bamber on the show. But of course, you know Jamie better as Lee “Apollo” Adams from a little show called Battlestar Galactica. Jamie and I first met when we were both testing for our roles (I totally didn’t forget that) and have become like family to each other. It’s been a while since I had a chance to talk with him, so we got to catch up on where we’re both living these days, how our families are doing, and then how Battlestar changed our lives and how lucky we got to be a part of something so special so early in both our careers. Jamie is the best and it’s easy to see why Starbuck was in love with him. Stick around for the hindsight where my producer Jeph and I talk about the episode and really anything else that comes up plus we read your comments and answer your emails. Enjoy! Produced by Rabbit Grin Productions Mail Sack Song by Nicolas @producer_sniffles
Happy Halloween! This week, I got to sit down with the hilarious Sasheer Zamata, and we talked about everything from her stand-up comedy to starring in Agatha All Along as the witch Jennifer. You’ll hear all about her journey from SNL into the Marvel Universe, her actual passion for witch history, how comedy has always been a part of her life, and how she’s a late-in-life lesbian. Stick around for the hindsight, where my producer Jeph and I answer your comments and emails. Produced by Rabbit Grin Productions Mail Sack Song by Nicolas @producer_sniffles
On today’s episode, I sit down with my friend Rebecca Mader, known for her unforgettable roles on Once Upon a Time and Lost. We dive into some very fun stories about how we met at a convention (spoiler alert: it involves us both dropping to the ground). We talk about the world of Comic-Cons, motherhood, and how we’re pretty sure our kids love us! Rebecca also shares her experiences in Hollywood, playing the Wicked Witch of the West, being stuck in Hawaii asking herself why she was still on Lost, and how much she wants to be in a comedy. Rebecca is too fun and a riot to talk to. You don’t want to miss this one. Plus, stick around for my Hindsight segment with my producer, Jeph, where we answer your questions in the Mail Sack and try to keep it under 30 minutes.

Hey everyone! In this episode, I get to sit down (leg over the chair) with the lovely Jonathan Frakes, who, of course, played the legendary (and dreamy) William T. Riker on Star Trek: The Next Generation. We dive into so much—getting the role on Next Gen, his first directing job, and even his thoughts on the convention circuit and the sweaty fans. You guys, I so want to be in Star Trek and I’m hoping Jonathan can help me do that. I pitched myself pretty hard here, so fingers crossed! Stick around for the hindsight to find out how much of a Star Trek nerd my producer, Jeph, is while we answer your comments and emails in the Mail Sack.

Hi everyone! In this episode, I am so excited today because I am talking to Ezra Bridger himself from Ahsoka, aka Eman Esfandi! You guys, Eman is so sweet and genuine. We dive into everything from how spirituality plays a huge role in his life, to the wild story of how Ezra quite literally found him. Eman talks about growing up with immigrant parents, pivoting from tennis dreams to acting, and how he almost quit the industry before landing in the Star Wars universe. Plus, we get into his music career as DragonWulf and how following his joy helped him manifest all the great things that have happened to him. I love this episode so much. Eman is so honest and has lived a lot of lives at only 27 years old. You’re going to love it. Remember to stick around to the hindsight where my producer Jeph and I discuss the episode and try not to get me canceled. We also respond to your comments and emails in the Mail Sack!

Hey, everyone! Today, I'm very excited to talk with my good friend and one of the most talented composers I’ve ever met, Bear McCreary! Not only was he the composer for Battlestar Galactica, but he has gone on to work on shows like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Black Sails, Outlander, The Walking Dead, and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. We first met when we were both little babies on Battlestar. I was surprised to find out I wasn’t the only young person on the crew - Bear was the composer at only 24! Today, we're diving deep into his career, how he got interested in music, landed the Battlestar gig, and what he’s working on these days. Which speaking of, Bear just released his new double album and graphic novel project, “The Singularity”. If you like heavy metal and music like Guns and Roses then you’re going to love this because Slash literally plays on this album. Also, find out how Bear came up with that iconic All Along the Watchtower Battlestar remix and how he convinced me to play it with him live on stage and might again soon! Stick around for the hindsight where I force my producer to listen to me talk about carpet beetles, bed bugs, parasitic wasps, and all that fun stuff.

Hey everyone, in this episode, I sit down with the amazing Bitsie Tulloch, known for her roles as Juliette Silverton in Grimm and Lois Lane in Superman & Lois. I was really excited to talk with Bitsie because I've only ever seen her at cons for short moments. It was great to talk to her about how she got into acting after going to Harvard(!) and the unexpected path that led her to iconic roles in Grimm and, of course, as Lois Lane. We also talk about how she balances family life with her daughter and husband, David Giuntoli while surviving Hollywood and staying out of the public eye, as well as our shared love of Portland. Stick around for the hindsight where I read your comments and emails to find out what word I can't spell for the life of me...
