Comedy
Sensational storytelling from actor, activist, veteran, sober, surfer, husband, father, grandpa, success story on celluloid and in life, Gregory Harrison. And, the whole gorgeousness thing. We talked his Catalina upbringing, playing baseball and the guitar. A medic during the Vietnam War, stationed in Germany, he set a precedent as the first non-religious conscientious objector. A medic, he set the stage for Trapper John MD, which launched him to stardom. We touched on Logan's Run, Sisters, Henry Jaglom's The M Word, where we met, his Broadway debut in Steel Pier, his just before the pandemic stage turn starring in The Lion in Winter, his current first soap spin in General Hospital, and why it took him so long. Returning to work on 9-1-1, after 8 months of stay-at-home like a good COVID crazy, new hope, and good sleep with the new president. As fabulous as all of that was to hear, it's Gregory's telling of meeting his wife of 40 years on Battle of The Network Stars, the sexy start, to his cocaine-fueled bottom, and what brought him there, to getting sober at Betty Ford and finding his worst nightmare unfold before his eyes. And ours. 34 years sober, his humility, honesty, and self-awareness lead to one of the best "shares" I've yet to hear. Grace, gratitude, inspiration, and fun were served up in heaping portions. Like a great meal, I leave happy, sated, and wanting more. Easy on the eyes, heart, and soul, I adore this man.
