Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another episode of the Sunday Sit Down Podcast.

My thanks is always for clicking and listening along.

Got a really fun one for you today with Emmy and Tony winner, Nathan Lane.

I don't really need to give you a big introduction on Nathan Lane.

You know him, you love him.

He's won three Tony Awards for his work on Broadway.

He's done the bird cage and a whole bunch of other movies.

He's done animated.

He was the Lion King, Kahuna Matata, you know the story there.

Of course he's been on modern family.

He's been on Mad About You.

He's been on only murders in the building for which he recently won his first Emmy award.

The guys done it all over the course of about 40 years.

Grapen New Jersey, interestingly enough, as Joe Lane.

Joseph Lane, who's his name at birth, had a very difficult childhood, which

he'll hear about with his mother and father, but he had two great older brothers

who helped him along and encouraged him into theater.

When he decided to become an actor, there was another Joe Lane, another Joseph Lane.

So we've made his stage name, Nathan Lane, after the character Nathan Detroit and guys and

dolls apart, he later played on Broadway in a wonderful twist of fate.

So he's just fun to talk to.

He's a guy who's done it all and seen it all.
