  • Episode 84 – Legendary Soap Star Thaao Penghlis Discusses His Villainous ‘Days’ & Uncovering ‘The Lost Treasures’ - Part 2
    Sep 9 2024
    During the second half of Tony’s eye-opening conversation with legendary soap star Thaao Penghlis they discuss how much more fun it is to play a villain on film than be the hero of the story, how his longtime “Days of Our Lives” love interest Leann Hunley initially had doubts about their onscreen pairing, the lack of accolades and awards for the cast of "Days of Our Lives" compared to other network soaps, how he landed the role of master-of-disguise Nicholas Black on the prime-time revival of “Mission: Impossible”, his experience filming the series in his home country of Australia, his lifelong friendship with his 'Mission" co-stars Phil Morris and Jane Badler, how he and legendary actor Peter Graves once butted heads on the set of the successful action series, his thoughts about Tom Cruise and his successful Mission Impossible film franchise, the creation of the podcast "The Lost Treasures," his enjoyment in hosting the podcast, his desire to create another podcast about an untold biblical story, and the recent re-release of his second book, "Seducing Celebrities One Meal at a Time." THAAO PENGHLIS When Thaao Penghlis looks in the mirror, he sees different faces. During his remarkable run over the last four decades on the NBC daytime drama “Days of Our Lives”, the Australian-born actor has played both the seductively villainous Count Tony DiMera and the count’s evil look-a-like impersonator Andre DiMera. The double roles are on top of a wide-ranging collection of characters on two other daytime series, “General Hospital” and “Santa Barbara”, as well as television series, movies and plays. He started his career acting on stage, performing in “Jockeys” under Milton Katselas's direction. He first appeared to daytime audiences in 1981 on “General Hospital” during the Ice Princess saga when he played the role of Victor Cassadine. After his character was written out of the show by being taken to prison, he was cast as the villainous Count Tony DiMera, in the NBC daytime drama “Days of Our Lives”. His long-running work on Days, has earned him three Emmy nominations for Outstanding Leading Actor and a Soap Opera Digest Award for Favorite Return. In 1989, Penghlis played master-of-disguise Nicholas Black on the prime-time revival of “Mission: Impossible”. He also starred in the miniseries "Sadat", appeared opposite Omar Sharif and Jane Seymour in the miniseries adaptation of Sydney Sheldon’s “Memories of Midnight”, played a terrorist in the television film “Under Siege” with Peter Strauss and Hal Holbrook, and starred with Joanna Cassidy in the miniseries “Tribe”. One of his more unusual roles was playing the lover of Dame Edna as Colonel Godowni in the cult classic “Les Patterson Saves the World”. He has also written two books “Places: The Journey of My Days, My Lives” (2014), which delves into his Greek and Australian heritage and recounts his escapades from his entertainment career and “Seducing Celebrities One Meal at a Time” (2015), presents recipes for what would be his dream Hollywood dinner parties. He is currently the host of the popular podcast “The Lost Treasures”. This new project channels his passion for Greek history and culture.

  • Episode 83 – Legendary Soap Star Thaao Penghlis Discusses His Villainous ‘Days’ & Uncovering ‘The Lost Treasures’- Part 1
    Sep 9 2024
    On this episode of Hollywood Obsessed, host Tony Miros speaks with legendary soap star Thaao Penghlis - who is best known for his popular roles on “General Hospital” and “Santa Barbara”, as well as his remarkable run over the last four decades on the NBC daytime drama “Days of Our Lives”. During their fascinating conversation, Thaao tells Tony all about his journey: moving to New York City from Sydney, becoming a student of the renowned acting instructor Milton Katselas, later serving as Katselas' assistant for ten years, making his stage debut in the critically acclaimed off-Broadway play “Jockeys”, starring in the film “Altered States” with William Hurt, the difficulties he faced while working with legendary director Ken Russell on that film, how he won the role of the diabolical Victor Cassadine on ABC’s “General Hospital”, which eventually led to his longstanding role as the villainous Count “Tony” DiMera on NBC’s “Days of Our Lives” for the past four decades, the differences between working on "General Hospital" and "Days of Our Lives”, and how after being written off of GH he traveled to Egypt to quench his childhood dream to become an archaeologist, which turned into him nearly being kidnapped near the pyramids!

  • Episode 82 – Focusing On LA’s Top Acting Coach & Film Director Michelle Danner - Part 2
    Aug 26 2024
    During the second half of Tony’s enlightening conversation with L.A.’s premiere acting coach and film director Michelle Danner they discuss her transition from acting coach to film director, if she came up against any discrimination when she decided to take on the directors chair, how her directorial debut “How To Go Out On A Date In Queens” why making a serious film like “Hello Herman” that tells the story of a school shooting starring Norman Reedus was so important to her, how stories with the theme of kids falling through the cracks are very important to her, what it was like working on the LGBTQ+ documentary “Sígueme”, her experience directing the psychological thriller “Bad Impulse” with Paul Sorvino & Dan Lauria, and how her latest film “Miranda’s Victim” came to her and why most Americans don’t know the true story of how the Miranda Rights - customarily given by police to criminal suspects in police custody - came about. MICHELLE DANNER There aren’t many people who can point to a career full of success as a performer, teacher, storyteller, entrepreneur, and expert. But Michelle Danner can. The legendary acting teacher & founder of the Creative Center for the Arts & the Los Angeles Acting Conservatory, Danner is also now well-established as a successful film director. Her most recent film, “Miranda’s Victim,” stars Abigail Breslin, Luke Wilson, Ryan Phillippe, Emily VanCamp, Mireille Enos, Enrique Murciano, Brent Sexton, Josh Bowman, Sebastian Quinn, Taryn Manning, Nolan Gould, Dan Lauria, Kyle MacLachlan, Andy Garcia & Donald Sutherland. The film tells the true story of Trish Weir (Breslin) who was kidnapped and brutally raped by Ernesto Miranda. The subsequent trials went all the way to the Supreme Court and led to creation of the Miranda Rights. “Miranda’s Victim” opened the Santa Barbara Film Festival in February. Her last film “The Runner” is an action thriller and true-life coming of age story starring Cameron Douglas, Elisabeth Röhm, Eric Balfour and newcomer Edouard Philipponnat. The film screened at 28 festivals around the world winning countless awards. A dedicated mom of two (one is an aspiring filmmaker), Danner still has her “day job” – overseeing the faculty of the Los Angeles Acting Conservatory, and conducting her weekly acting class. Michelle has worked privately with Christian Slater, Salma Hayek, Gerard Butler, Seth MacFarlane, Penelope Cruz, Chris Rock, Gabrielle Union, Zooey Deschanel, Henry Cavill, Isla Fisher and James Franco. A longtime student of legendary acting teachers like Stella Adler and Uta Hagen, Danner’s eclectic approach (which she calls “The Golden Box”) allows actors the freedom to employ a wide variety of techniques. Raised in a show business family & with a deep appreciation for all of the performing arts, Danner also continues to run the boutique “Cinema at the Edge” film festival. Simply put, there’s almost no one in the business who knows as much about acting and success as Michelle Danner – and her continued success in multiple creative fields makes her one of the most successful women working in the industry today.
