Episode notes

"You know, watching my grandfather deal with my grandmother's death or injuries or, you know, you never get to that place where you're like, oh, I got it all figured out, right? The problem. Problems will keep coming."

Welcome Dave Annable:

We’re joined on the Starline by an actor who is “Coachable”. You’ve seen him in Yellowstone, Walker, Brothers and Sisters. He was totally upset by John Krasinski from being labeled Sexiest Man Alive. He’s smoldering in season two of Paramount + “Lioness”. We welcome Dave Annable.

Dave, let’s go Beyond the Mic. This is such a star studded cast from your Zoe Saldana to Michael Kelly, Morgan Freeman and Nicole Kidman. How does it feel walking back on set with these stars?

Joe leans on and pushes away your character Neal through season one of Lioness. What is the biggest challenge as you read your portion of every script not knowing all the things she’s doing?

Who challenges you today and how has this show changed you?

The Rockin' 8:

It’s time for the Rockin’ 8, 8 random questions, answer with the first thing that comes to your mind. There is no Pressure.  

1. Best thing about your wife Odette?

2. What’s the one thing you took from the Lioness set?

3. Best thing about being a girl dad to your two daughters Charlie and Andi?

4. First New York Mets game you attended live and did they win?

5. Best round of golf was what and where?

6. Favorite drink when on vacation?

7. What’s your fantasy football team’s record as of today?

8. If you had to be handcuffed to someone for 24 hours. You couldn’t have worked with them or a family member or friend. Who is it?

The Back Half:

What do you want fans to take away from season 2 of Lioness?

What do you want to see in season 3?

You have had incredible successes but after a failure you went to the perspective of a student “What is the lesson here? What can I learn from this experience moving forward?” How has your perspective of acting changed?

One Difficult Question:

You have lost family members and amazing friends in your life. So, what’s your best memory of your late friend Joshua “Sheep” Allen?

The Wrap:

He remembers the Mets fireworks game in 86, would want to be handcuffed to Elvis for 24 hours. He wants you to watch Lioness on Paramount +. Dave Annable, thanks for taking the time to talk with us today.
