Still Here Hollywood

This is Still Here Hollywood. I’m Steve Kmetko. Join me with today’s guest, Elaine’s boss J. Peterman, on Seinfeld, actor John O’Hurley.

“Over The Top” is a term that is often used as a kind of a slam to someone’s personality.

But in Hollywood, playing a role “Over The Top” can make you stand out. And if you’re lucky, it could land you as an iconic character in one of the biggest shows in television history.

This is Still Here Hollywood. I’m Steve Kmetko. Join me, with today’s guest, Cliff Clavin from “Cheers”, John Ratzenberger.

A “Hail Mary” pass is pretty much a football term, and of course a prayer, but that’s the point.. Several decades ago, one auditioning actor (who was shown the door), held that door open long enough to toss a Hail Mary pass to the producers. That last second pitch landed him the role of an iconic character in o...

This is Still Here Hollywood. I’m Steve Kmetko. Join me with today’s guest, Serge from “Beverly Hills Cop”, Bronson Pinchot.

Accents in film and television can very much define an actor's devotion to their craft. Whether it’s Meryl Streep’s Polish accent in Sofie’s Choice, or Frances McDormand’s Minnesota dialect in “Fargo”, the formation of those voices tell the story of where the character is from.

But, there’s one actor who reache...

This is Still Here Hollywood. I’m Steve Kmetko. Join me with today’s guest, from the iconic film “Back to the Future”, actress and director, Lea Thompson. 

So much of Hollywood looks back toward the past instead of ahead to the future. How much did your last movie make? What were last night’s ratings…?

This is Still Here Hollywood. I’m Steve Kmetko. Join me with today’s guest, Isaac from The Love Boat, Ted Lange.

Back in the day, Saturday night television was a huge opportunity for the three networks to create “family TV”. And for a decade, starting in the late 70’s, there was a show that besides topping the ratings, was family friendly, and also became a huge promotion for a sailing vacations. Let’s just call it the pre-precursor...

This is Still Here Hollywood. I’m Steve Kmetko. Join me with today’s guest, and prosecutor Sylvia Costas from NYPD BLUE,, Sharon Lawrence.

Now I know that not many, if any, of you will remember the show DRAGNET, because it originally aired in the 1950’s, I mean I was barely around then. But DRAGNET was one of the first big TV “Cop Shows” that came on just a smidge after TV was invented.

Since then, police dramas have pretty much take...

Chewbacca… Robin… Tattoo… Ed McMahon. Sidekicks in film and television are some of the most important roles to fill on a cast. And all are pivotal to the success of the show. In the 1990’s there was an unforgettable sidekick who hammered his way to fame on one of the most popular comedies of the decade.

This is STILL HERE HOLLYWOOD, I’m Steve Kmetko. Join me with today’s guest, George Wendt, Norm from “Cheers”.

When you think about the biggest comedy shows in television’s history, there are always a few things that stand out. There’s of course the writing. The ensemble cast. Sometimes, the music. And there’s very often at least one character who’s name resonates, staying in pop culture for decades. This fact is pretty much the “nor...

There are films that define a mood. 

There are films that create a fashion.

There are faces that are ingrained in the film and television world. Legendary actors, seemingly omnipresent, all over the big and small screen. They may not all have household names, but, if there is such a thing, they have household faces.

This is Still Here Hollywood. I’m Steve Kmetko. Join me with today’s guest, actor Penelope Ann Miller.

Actors in Hollywood are fortunate if just once in their career, they get the chance to co-star with the biggest names on the big screen.

It’s a testament to their acting talent when they’re paired with a number of worldwide box office juggernauts.

This is STILL HERE HOLLYWOOD. I”m Steve Kmetko. Join me with today’s guest, Otter from NATIONAL LAMPOON’S ANIMAL HOUSE, actor, director, and now author, Tim Matheson.

In 1978, movie theaters were packed to the gills with box office blockbusters. The top three movies were GREASE, SUPERMAN, and an unlikely raunchy hit about a trouble making fraternity.  That film was NATIONAL LAMPOON’S ANIMAL HOUSE.

Besides the other breakout stars lik...

This is Still Here Hollywood. I’m Steve Kmetko. Join me with today’s guest, Dr. Carter from E.R., Noah Wyle.

Medical dramas on television have been around pretty much since the advent of the picture tube.
