Thank you for joining us today for THINK BIG with Michael Zellner
podcast sponsored by Sleepy ZZZ’s Masonry. My guest today
joining me on the show for the 3 rd time is the wonderful Thaao
Penghlis, who is here today to talk about his book, 'Seducing
Celebrities…One Meal at a Time.'

Thaao is not only a very famous soap opera and television actor,
but he is also an author, and a writer. He has been on several tv
shows throughout his career. His big break when he first
appeared in the very popular Soap Opera world came in 1981 on
General Hospital playing Victor Cassadine during the “Luke and
Laura” era. He also starred on Santa Barbara and the network
television show, Mission: Impossible.

Thaao is best known for
playing the dual character roles of twin brothers Tony and Andre
DiMera. In 2023, Thaao released his 4 part podcast series called
‘The Lost Treasures’, which was wonderful to listen to and learn a
lot about things I would have never known in my life.
For a little history for some that may not know, the show Days of
Our Lives exists in the fictional world of Salem. Thaao premiered
on the show on November 6, 1981, and was on and off the show
for 5 decades through June 2023. That is beyond amazing to be a
character on a television show for that long of a period of time. He
won several awards in his career, including twice for Outstanding
Lead Actor in a Drama Series, with his last one coming in 2020.

I’m really excited to have him back on today to talk about this
very entertaining memoir-cookbook, Seducing Celebrities…One
Meal at a Time. Thaao, I really appreciate you coming back on
the show today to share this with my audience.
