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

Emily Deschanel (Bones, Animal Kingdom) joins us this week for a heartfelt and revealing conversation about stepping out of the shadow of a legacy role, balancing family with career, and embracing vulnerability as a source of strength. Emily talks about the highs and lows of working on Bones for over a decade, the unexpected adjustments of life after the series, and her evolving relationship with fame. We also dive into motherhood, grief, mental health, and why she believes putting family first has grounded her in an industry that can easily throw you off balance
