Jonathan Schmock
Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Jonathan Schmock. While we all know him best as the snarky maitre d’ from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off; he has brought us so much more! In this episode we chat about his comedy duo (The Funny Boys) being on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson TWICE and subsequently banned FOR LIFE from The Tonight Show with Jay Leno! We also talk about some of his other acting roles, his transition into directing, producing, and developing shows for television. Jonathan is responsible for developing Sabrina the Teenage Witch, for television, among other shows. Jonathan shares some stories of his experiences working with the legendary Stella Adler, working on Blossom, developing Brotherly Love for Joey Lawrence, working with Aaron Spelling on The New Love Boat, his arc on the US version of Showtime’s Shameless, and OF COURSE we get into what his experience was with John Hughes and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Finally, we chat about why he became a political cartoonist, and how some presidents are less fun to make cartoons about. Jonathan was a delight to speak with, and kinder than I could ever have imagined. Thank you so much Jonathan.

Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know actress Cecilia Leal. Cecilia is originally from Miami, but after attending NYU’s TISCH school of the arts, relocated to New Orleans, Louisiana to pursue her dream of acting. In this episode we talk about growing up in Miami, and what led her to become an actress. We also talk in depth about what she learned in the Experimental Theater Wing (ETW) at NYU TISCH. Cecilia was nice enough to explain Bouffon, the art of French Grotesque Clowning, and we discuss several of her recent projects including the hit film Five Feet Apart, the television series Cloak & Dagger, and the un named Joseph Gordon Levitt Netflix movie.
