Summary

Rob Morrow and Janine Turner welcome the one and only Anthony Edwards to Northern Disclosure! Known to fans as Mike Monroe, "the bubble man," Anthony joins us this week  to reminisce about Season 4, Episode 5, "Blowing Bubbles". Anthony Edwards, a screen legend from ER (Dr. Mark Green) and Top Gun (Goose), dives deep into his memorable arc as Mike Monroe and how Mike, confined to a plastic bubble, shook up the Maggie/Joel dynamic and forced Cicely to confront the realities of being "allergic to the 20th century".  Hear Anthony's breakdown of the difference between the relaxed, "opus"-like feel of Northern Exposure and the intense scripts of ER, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at how the Mike’s bubble was created, and the challenges of acting inside a space suit!
