    This picture was taken before I knew I was going to be a character actor. Every disaster, at one point, looked like a success. Unfortunately, every success also can look like disaster. That’s why there are so many bars in New York.

Absoutely astounding - Stephen wows me every episode with stories of his life, his career, and his thoughts and dreams. Moving stories that all should listen to.

Way More Entertaining Than A Middle Aged Man Talking About His Life Should Be

As David Chen has said in one episode, he has hitched his cart to the right star. Stephen Tobolowsky is my new hero, listening to his amazing stories in both entertaining and inspirational. Behind the scenes insights into the entertainment industry mixed in with touching personal moments and stories so unbelievable no one could have made them up.

I don't really listen to many pod cast's, just the odd episode here and there, but I have been drawn into The Tobolowski Files and listened to almost all of them. There hasn't been a disappointing episode yet.

This review is a bit all over the place and a bit gushy, but this is a great show, so download one episode and I'm sure you'll hit subscribe after listening to the first 20 minutes.

To Dave and Tobo, Keep it up guys and break a neck - I mean leg.
