About this episode
In this deeply honest and wide-ranging conversation on Still Here Hollywood, Steven Weber (Wings, The Shining, Single White Female) opens up to Steve Kmetko about the roles that shaped—and haunted—his career. From his infamous death-by-stiletto scene in Single White Female to portraying Jack Torrance in Stephen King's The Shining miniseries, Weber reflects on what he’d do differently today, wishing he'd taken himself more seriously as an actor. He shares his admiration for great directors who bring out an actor’s best, his dream of working with someone who truly “gets” him, and his love of old-school Hollywood storytelling. Along the way, Weber and Kmetko dive into everything from the legacy of Hitchcock and Patricia Hitchcock to Weber’s fanboy meltdown meeting Stephen Soderbergh. The episode also takes a powerful turn as Kmetko bravely shares his recent stroke story and the miracle that followed. With reflections on regret, reinvention, and creative hunger, this is one of the most compelling and human interviews yet. #StevenWeber #StillHereHollywood #SteveKmetko #TheShining #SingleWhiteFemale #JackTorrance #StephenKing #ClassicMovies #HollywoodReflections #TVIcons #StrokeRecovery #StephenSoderbergh #BridgetFonda #JenniferJasonLeigh #Hitchcock #BehindTheScenes #ActorInterview #StevenWeberInterview Show Credits Host/Producer: Steve Kmetko All things technical: Justin Zangerle Executive Producer: Jim Lichtenstein Music by: Brian Sanyshyn Transcription: Mushtaq Hussain https://stillherehollywood.com http://patreon.com/stillherehollywood Suggest Guests at: stillherehollywood@gmail.com Advertise on Still Here Hollywood: jim@stillherenetwork.com Publicist: Maggie Perlich: maggie@numbertwelvemarketing.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
