Jay Ferguson (Mad Men, The Conners) joins us this week to share the defining moment in his life where he chose to put his ego to the side for the sake of his family and career… and how that decision ultimately lead to him landing roles on hits like Mad Men and The Conners. Jay opens up about the unexpected emotions and compounded feelings that come from the loss of a close loved one as he shares stories about his late great mother. We also get into nerves working alongside Bert Reynolds, getting an inch and taking a mile with Leonardo DiCaprio, and an all-time story about our first meeting during a sitcom.
