Geoffrey Blake Returns!
Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know even more about actor Geoffrey Blake. Geoffrey first appeared on the show back on July 28, 2025. So we don’t do the “get to know you’ bit in this episode; go back and check out the previous one for that. In this episode, we discuss more of his projects and career than we did last time. We talk about his experiences on Forrest Gump, Men At Work, Contact, Castaway, Renegade, 21 Jump Street, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Midway, Rated X, FernGully, and so much more. Geoffrey shares stories from the sets of so many of your favorite movies, behind the scenes, and even audition tales; and even spilling some secrets.
Do you know who was cast as the lead on 21 Jump Street before Johnny Depp? You will!
I even find out what it is like to work with some of the biggest directors in history, not once, but several times.
What is it like to meet the Dalai Lama?
What is Geoffrey’s biggest residual payday?
Who are his favorite actors working today?
What the hell is The Pickle?

Geoffrey Blake Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Geoffrey Blake. You know Geoffrey from such iconic hits as: Young Guns, Forrest Gump, Contact, Midway, and more. In this episode, we chat about almost none of those projects. Instead, we get to know Geoffrey. We find out how & where he grew up, why they moved around so much, how his health is these days, and some crazy stories about his family. Next, we move into some of the acting classes that he was part of when he was just getting started, as well as the acting class that he teaches these days. Naturally, we touch on Young Guns, and his work with Emilio Estevez & Lou Diamond Phillips. He shares a crazy story about paparazzi in Santa Monica, involving him, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, and the city council. This story is insane. Of course, we talk about some of his past and upcoming writing projects, and so much more! Geoffrey has promised to come back on the show for round 2, and maybe THEN he will share the story of the time he met Lizzo!
