Summary

Somebody Somewhere is one of our favorite shows of the last decade - we've talked to Jeff, Bridget, director Lennon Parham and now today, we're talking to the kind and soft-spoken Tim Bagley! Now, in addition to Somebody Somewhere, you've seen Tim everywhere over the last few decades: The Great North, Grace and Frankie, Will & Grace, Monk + as a character actor on basically every sitcom that aired since 1993, and on today's episode, Tim takes us on a tour of his romantic and therapeutic history! Tim discusses his struggles with accepting himself and the various methods he used to try "cure" being gay. We talk sex surrogates and therapists who get it, dating in LA in the 1970s, losing his partner but finding a family, Tim's sensible no-drama policy and SO MUCH MORE!
