Omri joins Genevieve to reminisce about his rise to fame first in Dallas and then cult mystery Eerie Indiana.
He chats about Larry Hagman, preserving himself in tupperware (who could forget THAT episode!) and explains why Eerie was the most fun set he's worked on.
Omri also reveals how he feels about seeing his 15-year-old self on TV every day every October thanks to the love of Hocus Pocus and setting up fan events in Salem.
He explains why he decided to quit acting in his late teens and disappear from public view, talks about going to cosmetology school to train as a hairdresser - and why the job wasn't what he thought it would be.
Plus he talks about his passion for cultivating cannabis over the past 20 years and the challenges he's faced running a business in the industry.
