Ep. 36: Self-Realization, Recovery & Understanding with Joe Pantoliano

Famous for his Emmy Award winning role as mobster Ralph Cifaretto on HBO’s “The Sopranos”, actor, author and mental health activist Joe Pantoliano takes us behind the scenes of shooting his new film “From The Vine”, the story of a downtrodden CEO who travels back to his Nonno’s vineyard in Italy. The prolific character actor dishes on his roles in iconic films like “Risky Business”, “Midnight Run”, “The Matrix” and “Momento”, and opens up about his family and his own journey from mental illness, to wellness, to running his own charity “No Kidding, Me Too!”. Joe reveals what he thinks a post-Covid-19 theatre and film world will look like and laments the loss of value of his American passport during the pandemic.
