The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Sherry Nelson! (Season 9 Finale)

She's got almost 30,000 followers on Instagram, and is one of the most down-to-earth, and gracious people that you'll ever meet. I'm lucky if I get one person following me who's not yelling, "Stop! Police!" (But that's a sto…

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet DJ Shattine!

I know I say this a lot, Rebels, (mostly because I'm right and love to see my printed predictions, tee-hee) but DJ falls on my list of actors to watch. He's a guy with an interesting story and a true dedication to the craft …

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Heath Martin!

You've gotta hand it to Heath-the guy knows how to make himself heard. Whether acting, singing, or doing voice-over work, you will eventually catch those baritone tones somewhere! I love it when the voiceover actors come on …

Percy Brown, of "The Prince of Fresh Air" podcast, brings the charisma...AND his hair!

There's that word that came to mind when I interviewed Percy. Big. A big guy, well over 6 feet tall. Big hair. Big charisma, with a big Cheshire cat grin. Moved from one big city in a big state to another big city in a big s…

Producer, Director, Actor, Author, Foodie, Podcaster-Put 'Em Together, it's Michael Arbouet of "The Quidditas Factor"!

Not sure how many times I referenced it during the show,, but check out the "New York Minute" movie on YouTube. It's amazing how Michael can create so much tension for a movie in a short period of time. (I'm not talking the …

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Stanley Livingston! (Part 1 of 2)

So, how cool was it for me to have a conversation with a guy who grew up on TV while I was growing up, um, off TV? This absolutely had to be a 2-parter, because Stan had so many interesting tales to tell. Today covers his fa…

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Dylan Kelley!

I can certainly say that after well over 200 episodes, I've never heard a life story even similar to that of Dylan's. But I guess he does put that uniqueness into whatever he does, or wants to do. As you'll hear in this inte…

On a comic couch? "Dannylize This", with Daniel "Papi" Gonzalez!

(WARNING: A little bit of profanity in this episode...) You know, sometimes it seems like it's open season on comics after "that slapping incident" we've all seen. Which incidentally, will be the LAST time I attempt to help …
