    2025/12/15
    In the conclusion of their two-part conversation, host Tony Miros continues the ride with Michael Nouri as they explore the fascinating chapters of his career after Flashdance. Michael reflects on projects like The Image Maker and working with legends like Jerry Orbach, Farley Granger, Colleen Dewhurst, and Farrah Fawcett, sharing heartfelt admiration and a few laugh-out-loud behind-the-scenes stories (including one involving a jealous boyfriend hiding in the bushes!).From sci-fi cult favorite The Hidden—where he bonded with Kyle MacLachlan during endless night shoots and later celebrated a surprise French award—to sitcom territory on Diane English’s Love & War, Michael opens up about embracing new genres, steady work, and the cast camaraderie he deeply missed when the show ended. He also talks about romantic leading-man roles, why fans still approach him decades later, and how the idea of writing a memoir keeps calling his name.Michael’s stories only get better as he recalls working with screen icons like Sean Connery (Finding Forrester), Steven Spielberg, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Tom Hanks (The Terminal), and Queen Latifah (Last Holiday). From an unforgettable (and slightly mortifying) Sean Connery impersonation gone wrong to sipping absinthe in Prague’s legendary Hotel Pupp, these tales are packed with humor, heart, and Hollywood magic.The episode also dives into Michael’s love of playing villains, working on dark TV series (Damages, Manhunt: Unabomber, American Crime Story, The Watcher), his admiration for creators like Ryan Murphy, and the powerful sense of family that forms on set. He shares advice for aspiring actors—commit fully, do theater, build discipline, and have fun—before closing on one of the most meaningful moments of his life: starring opposite Julie Andrews in Victor/Victoria on Broadway, a career highlight that finally made his father say he was proud. MICHAEL NOURIMichael Nouri is now in his fifth decade as a celebrated actor in film, television, and theater, with a career defined by range, longevity, and reinvention. In recent years, he has co-produced & starred in The Squeeze, appeared in NBC’s acclaimed miniseries The Slap, & guest-starred on hit series including Blue Bloods, Heartbeat, and Yellowstone. His notable recent screen work also includes Manhunt: Unabomber, Woman Walks Ahead, and The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story, sharing the screen with some of today’s most respected talent.His professional journey began with the box-office hit Goodbye Columbus (1969), followed quickly by a major Broadway debut in 40 Carats opposite Julie Harris. Over the years, he has become a familiar & trusted presence in Hollywood, balancing leading roles with memorable character performances.On film, he is perhaps best known to audiences worldwide as the leading man in the iconic hit Flashdance. His film credits also include The Proposal with Sandra Bullock, Last Holiday with Queen Latifah, Steven Spielberg’s The Terminal with Catherine Zeta-Jones, & Finding Forrester opposite Sean Connery. He received the Best Actor Award at the Avoriaz Film Festival for his performance in the cult classic The Hidden.Television has been another cornerstone of Nouri’s career, with appearances on acclaimed series such as Damages, The West Wing, Law & Order: SVU, NCIS, CSI: NY, Criminal Intent, & The Practice. He held major recurring roles on Bay City Blues, Love and War, The O.C., All My Children, The Young and the Restless, and Brothers and Sisters.

    2025/12/15
    In Part 1 of this lively two-part conversation, host Tony Miros sits down with the endlessly charming Michael Nouri, forever etched in pop culture history as Nick Hurley in the smash 1980s hit Flashdance. Michael laughs about how—more than 40 years later—fans still stop him to talk about the film (those once-swooning teenagers are now grandmothers!), and he fondly recalls working with director Adrian Lyne on what became a global phenomenon. None of them could have predicted just how big the movie would become.Michael traces his journey back to Washington, D.C., where early trips to the theater sparked the acting bug. A high school production of Gilbert & Sullivan’s Trial by Jury revealed his love for singing and musical theater. After college, he headed to NYC. With no formal acting training, he landed Forty Carats on Broadway opposite Julie Harris —launching a whirlwind career that included a Daytime Emmy Nom for Search for Tomorrow .From playing Dracula on Cliffhangers to portraying Lucky Luciano in The Gangster Chronicles, Michael’s career surged through TV & film, fueled by deep research & a Universal Studios contract that kept him busy (& paid). After projects like The Last Convertible & an Off-Broadway return to NYC, he found himself at a crossroads—choosing between Sam Peckinpah’s The Osterman Weekend and a little movie called Flashdance. He followed his instincts, and the rest is movie history.Michael shares unforgettable memories from filming Flashdance with a nervous but excited 17-year-old Jennifer Beals, the electric premiere with cheering audiences & standing ovations, and watching fans line up to buy the iconic soundtrack. Overnight stardom followed—first-class travel, autograph lines, and major directors like William Friedkin & Stephen Bochco knocking at his door. This episode is packed with fun behind-the-scenes stories, career-defining moments, and pure Hollywood nostalgia.

    Episode 148 – Consider Your Ass Kissed!: Chatting With the Glamorous Ruta Lee – Part 2
    2025/12/01
    In the sparkling conclusion of their two-part conversation, host Tony Miros and 90-year-old Hollywood legend Ruta Lee dive deeper into her remarkable career and her most unforgettable television moments. Ruta revisits her iconic “Twilight Zone” episode “A Short Drink From a Certain Fountain,” sharing memories of co-star Patrick O’Neal, her joy in playing such a wicked character, and her warm admiration for Rod Serling. She also reflects on her time on “The Lucy Show”—how she and Lucille Ball became friends, the precision required for four-camera comedy, and her admiration for Lucy’s ability to run a studio by day and conquer Broadway by night.Tony highlights fun revelations from her memoir, including her audition for the role of Ginger on “Gilligan’s Island”. Ruta fondly recalls guest-starring on “Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.” and “The Andy Griffith Show,” where Andy would serenade the cast between takes with his guitar. She shares behind-the-scenes stories from “The Hollywood Squares,” filming five episodes a day with host Peter Marshall, and the risqué ad-lib that left the studio blushing. Ruta continues with hilarious memories from “Three’s Company,” her fondness for John Ritter, and her time on “Mork & Mindy,” where Robin Williams dazzled her with his lightning-fast genius. She also discusses her appearance on “Roseanne” and her absolute joy serving as a guest judge on “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars,” where she fell in love with the contestants and affectionately calls RuPaul “delicious.”In the final portion of their chat, Ruta opens up about her lifelong devotion to The Thalians, the charitable organization she has championed for fifty years. She explains how the group built a mental-health clinic, expanded veteran support through UCLA, and honored luminaries such as Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball, Whoopi Goldberg, and—after two decades of asking—Clint Eastwood. For listeners eager to get involved, Ruta encourages donations or attendance at this year’s Thalians Gala on December 6th at the Bel-Air Country Club, honoring the legendary Neil Sedaka.

After moving to Los Angeles in 1948, she studied acting and soon landed roles on The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show, The Roy Rogers Show, and The Adventures of Superman.Her big break came in 1953 when she was cast as one of the brides in the beloved MGM musical Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. From there, she built an impressive film résumé that included Anything Goes, Funny Face, Witness for the Prosecution, Marjorie Morningstar, and Sergeants 3, where she starred alongside the Rat Pack. She also made her mark on television with memorable appearances on Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Gunsmoke, 77 Sunset Strip, and 2 episodes of The Andy Griffith Show.Ruta continued to shine, including her standout Twilight Zone appearance in “A Short Drink from a Certain Fountain,” and her semi-regular turns on game shows like Hollywood Squares, and High Rollers, where she co-hosted with Alex Trebek. Her later decades showcased her versatility—from voice work, to guest roles on Fantasy Island, The Love Boat, CHiPs, and Roseanne, where she played the girlfriend of Estelle Parsons’ character. She also starred opposite Elizabeth Taylor in Sweet Bird of Youth and appeared in the British comedy-drama Funny Bones as Jerry Lewis’s on-screen wife.Ruta Lee Website - https://www.rutalee.com The Thalians Holiday Gala - http://www.thalians.org The Official Hollywood Obsessed Website - ⁠⁠⁠https://www.hollywoodobsessedthepodcast.com/ ⁠⁠ ⁠ Follow the Official Hollywood Obsessed Facebook Page – ⁠⁠⁠HOLLYWOOD OBSESSED PODCAST⁠⁠⁠ Follow our Instagram - ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/hollywoodobsessedpodcast/⁠ Titles VO Talent – Cam Frierson - ⁠⁠http://camfrierson.com/voice Music by⁠⁠ ⁠QubeSounds⁠⁠⁠ from ⁠⁠Pixabay⁠⁠⁠
