In this episode of Staying Alive, hosts Jon Gabrus and Adam Pally sit down with the hilarious and charming Chris Rodriguez-Marquette (Reacher S4, Barry, The Girl Next Door) to discuss living in Ireland sober, therapy, rejection, haiku, Atomic Habits, Hyrox, stunts, and Ben Affleck. Plus: getting cast in Reacher a day before shooting, and a perfectly timed phone call from Gabrus’ mom.
