Hank Garrett
Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Hank Garrett. Hank grew up in the rough streets of Harlem in the 1940’s & 1950’s. During that time he watched schoolmates die, or go to prison. Then Willie Bryant “The Mayor of Harlem” stepped in; introduced Hank to Sammy Davis Jr, and everything changed. After that, Hank began his careers in Stand up comedy, professional wrestling, martial arts, and eventually acting. In this episode we chat about his journey From Harlem Hoodlum, To Hollywood Heavyweight. That also hapoens to be the title of his new book. Hank shares stories about working with: Benny The Jet Urquidez, Sammy Davis Jr, Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Dean MArtin, Buddy Hackett, Chuck Norris, Jerry Lewis Al Lewis, David Frost, and Robert Redford. Fun behind the scenes tales about ‘Car 54 Where Are You?’, ‘Three Days of the Condor’, ‘That Was The Week That Was’, and ‘G.I.Joe’. Hank still won’t name the New York mobster that gave him his first gun, or the Cosa Nostra that elped out his mom on some interesting occasions. Make sure you check out his book, and get the rest of the amazing accounts of Hank being the very first white comedian to play The Apollo Theater, touring as Tony Bennett’s opener, getting kicked out of The Actors Studio, and how he repaid Robert Redford for keeping Hank from going blind!

Special thanks to mutual friends Kat & Clint Howard for connecting Hank & me for this conversation.

Gabriel Jarret
Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Gabriel Jarret. Gabe is an actor who has been in the business for more than 30 years. His very first film role was the lead in the cult classic film: REAL GENIUS! In this episode we chat about his experiences on that film, including some stories from the set. Next we move onto some of his memorable experiences on the set of Karate Kid III, and then we talk a bit about the Howard brothers (Clint and Ron). Finally, we chat about Gabe’s THREE new projects! Ask Me To Dance is an upcoming film starring legendary actress Joyce DeWitt and Jesse Kove; written, directed, and also starring previous guest Tom Malloy. Already out is the Anne Heche led 13 Minutes; which is based on the true story of a small town devastated by tornados. Also upcoming is the Kate Bosworth series Bring On The Dancing Horses. Gabe is also a certified (and well respected) American Sign Language interpreter; so naturally that comes up as well.

My buddy Clint pulled some strings and was able to get me a sit down interview with his dad Rance Howard in July of 2017. With more than 100 film appearances and more than 200 episodes of television; Rance worked in the business from 1956 until he passed in late 2017. This is his last long form interview.
One of the kindest, most engaging men I have ever met.
Stay tuned for bonus extras after the episode.
Shortly after this interview, Mr. Howard made two more movies, and then became ill.
He never recovered.
This was one of the best days of my life.
Although Rance Howard will be sorely missed by many; I am POSITIVE that Heaven is a better place with him in it.
Rest easy, and Farewell Good Sir.
–Steve
