I’m Michael Rosenbaum, I’ve spent the better part of the last two decades in and out of film and television - mostly known for playing the bald dude on the show Smallville. I’m the guy that you probably don’t know by name, but when you see my face you might say “oh, that guy from that thing.” I’ve befriended some of the most talented people in the business, but it wasn’t until I started inviting them into my home that I realized, I didn’t really know these people. What started as me having some fun, quickly evolved into something I’ve fallen in love with. What I’ve discovered is that all these people aren’t that different from you and me. They have the same insecurities and flaws that we all deal with every day. In a dark, yet enlightening way... I find a lot of comfort in that. I invite you all to join me while I get inside each of these fascinating people.

Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum

Sebastian Maniscalco (The Irishman, About My Father) joins us this week for an unfiltered conversation about chasing approval, the grind of stand-up, and learning to slow down. Sebastian opens up about growing up with immigrant parents, bombing in his early sets, and the nerves of auditioning for Scorsese before eventually working with Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci. He also reflects on family life, parenting, the pressure of social media, and why he dreams of one day running a boutique hotel.
