    Sam Witwer (Being Human, Star Wars) joins us this week and we get deep. He opens up about reassessing his life and how people’s impression of him being a screw up molded his self image for years. Sam talks about how this industry encourages people to hide vulnerability and put up a front; and how some of the false fame that can come as a side effect of this can be harmful to your mental health. Whole lot of real life talk in this episode, but we also get into Sam’s love for (and career with) the Star Wars franchise, how some of the SiFi issues resolved on Being Human, and his experience in Season 8 of Smallville.

    Watching Sam at some points kinda feels like being alive to see Christopher Lee when he was dracula, like the guy has already done more than basically every actor out there, and he's not even going grey yet... We already have so many performances from him, yet you get the impression that we've barely even SEEN what this guy can do yet.

    Being from the UK myself I remember the original Being Human and it was one of those original & rare concepts for a British TV Show to exist in a long time at the time it first aired in the UK which I became a huge fan of up until BBC in classic BBC fashion pretty much sabotaged the show leading to it’s cancellation too which was such a shame as it was really refreshing at the time for a British TV Show as usually 90% of our programming over here is pretty much nothing but boring lifestyle & reality shows, game shows, melodramas, crime and period costume dramas

    For a while there, I was like, "I love his work but this dude's too pretty to be a real nerd."

      He kind of tells you why in this, he is way too driven and willing to bypass execs and call them out on their bullshit. Entertainment execs don't really like it when "the talent" shows them up and does a way better job than them. He has a history of not backing down and maintaining his integrity in an industry that wants everyone to cowtow to the higher ups... Love the guy an his acting lol

    Being Human (US/Canada) season 1 was basically the same as season 1 of the British original but with more episodes. Season 2 was probably the weakest, but seasons 3 and 4 were so good and ended the series pretty well. Both series have their strengths and weaknesses, but I prefer the North American one.
