Faith, Hollywood, and the Spiritual Battle with Noel G | Hate To Break It To Ya
In this episode, I sit down with Noel Gugliemi, better known as Noel G, the go-to actor for playing tough, street-smart gangsters in films like Training Day, The Fast and the Furious, and Bruce Almighty. But his real story goes far beyond his on-screen persona. From being homeless as a teen to stumbling into acting by accident, Noel built a 35-year career in Hollywood while navigating the industry’s highs and lows.
We dive into his early struggles, how he landed Fast and Furious, and his eye-opening experiences in Hollywood. Noel also opens up about his faith journey, his belief in the spiritual battle happening in the entertainment industry, and why he returned to Christianity in 2008. We talk social media, subliminal messaging in entertainment, and whether aliens are real or just another deception. This conversation is raw, real, and full of insight.
