A couple old Stanton Allen boys. Tell what part of
Stanton Allen where you're from.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
I was born and raised in Grasmere, which is Are
you familiar with Grassmans?

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Oh? Yeah, of course. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
So I went to Saint Joseph Hill Academy, and my
mom still lives in that area, so, you know, God
bless it. I go back quite a bit to visit mom,
although I live in beautiful Sonona, Arizona these days, so
she more likely comes to visit me and I go there.
But I went there. Last time I was there was
a Mother's Day and it was it was crazy being

(03:28):
on the island. So much has changed since I grew up.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Yeah, that's so too. Grassmere. There was a little lake
we used to go fishing up around that area. From Grassman.
We get off the train with our fishing poles and
I think we'd need Cameron Club.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
What was it called Cameron Lake?

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Cameron you're probably right, Cameron Lake, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yeah, totally, that was. I used to call it the
Cameron Club because there was a swim club there that
I was a member of when I was a kid.
So mom and dad and my whole family used to
go to the Cameron Club, which was was Cameron Lake.
It's right there by the train station.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
That's right, Okay, that's the one. That's the one we
sted go. What are fishing poles and bring the bucket
full of fish back on the train.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Yeah. Well there was a lot of bass. I don't
know if you remember, but that's bass and gosh what
else did you catch there?

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Caffish yeah, sunny's right, and catfish yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
And catfish right right? Yeah, no, good place to fish.
I used to fish there too.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Oh really okay, Now, Stanleye was so different back in
those days. What a great childhood man. Glenn Scarpelly is
three years younger than me, so we're the same age
practically On stant.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Noland, thanks for putting that on the record.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
Ah.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Sorry, man, Well I'm only twenty one. I'm only twenty one.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
No, I'm grateful. Hey, listen, I don't lie about my
age because it's out there and with the Internet these days,
just google me. There's no lying anymore.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
That's so true. They gets you so security number they
want it.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
Hey.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
Now, when I used to have a beeper company and
the standing on a wall called Front Page Beepers and one.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Oh my god, I think I remember that dude.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
That was me and one of my customers was Glenn Scarpelly.
Was that your dad?

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Probably? No, My dad's name is Henry. He was actually
a very famous Archie Comics cartoonist.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
My dad, Oh really, he.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Drew Archie Betty Veronica for forty seven years. So if
anybody out there is an Archie fan, look up my dad,
Henry Scarpelli. He's a very well, very acclaimed cartoonist.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
Okay, so that's very cool. So you've been in an
artistic family. What about brothers and sisters? Your mom went
any other artists in the time.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
I am I am an only child. I say, when
they made me, they broke the mold. So I don't
have any I don't have any siblings, although I have
like twenty seven first cousins. Because you know Italian families,
it's a big, a lot of a lot of kid people.
A lot of people had kids and big families. But
I am an only child. But I was so grateful

(05:46):
to grow up in in you know, the family I
grew up in because I was encouraged to be creative,
you know, I know, I hear a lot of stories
about families that, you know, like get a real job
and get something secure and one of the things. Because
my dad was an artist all his life, Like I
didn't have that kind of upbringing. So I'm really grateful

(06:07):
for that, you know, they totally encouraged. I begged. I
was five years old. I set foot. I actually went
to grammar school at PS thirty nine in South Beach
and then I moved over to Saint josephil Academy when
I went into the first grade. But I set on stage.
I set foot on stage in kindergarten and I just

(06:27):
came home. I was like, I'm home, and I just
knew I wanted to be in show business. I begged
and begged, and begged and begged till finally I wore
them down. And I was eight years old and we
got introduced to a theatrical manager in Manhattan. A friend
of mine was doing commercials, so she said, we'll introduce
you to my manager, and I went to meet her.

(06:49):
The manager she was at eight eight eight eighth Avenue
on eighth Avenue and forty third Street, and I literally
walked in and they wanted to change my name. They
said what's your middle name and I said Christopher and
they said, from now on, you're Glenn Christopher and I said, no,
I'm not. I like Scarpelly and they said it's too ethnic.

(07:12):
And I said, was it too ethnic for Sinatra? And
she started to laugh. I said it worked for Frank
Sinatra and she started to laugh and she said, well
I can't argue with that. She goes, okay, we'll try
Scarpelly and we'll see. And I just started booking work
so fast, dude, Like I booked my first Broadway show

(07:34):
by the time I was nine. I was on Broadway
with Anne Bancroft in the show Golda, which was about
the life story of Goldenmeyer at the old Morosco Theater,
which is not even there. Anymore. But you know, one
thing led to another. I just started working, working, work,
and I did tons of TV commercials, and then I

(07:54):
was on Broadway again at the age of twelve with
al Pacino in Richard the Third at the Court Theater
on forty eighth Street that is still there, thank goodness.
They're doing a remodel on it. But it is such
a beautiful and wonderful historic inter and so I did
like really amazing stuff right away. So I kind of

(08:15):
knew like I wanted to be in the business. And
then I felt like the business really welcomed me from
the moment I set foot. So, you know, very good,
wonderful memories of my childhood, great support from my parents.
Like I'm not one of those kid actors that has
a lot of bad feelings about being a child actor.
I as far as I was concerned, I won the
lottery and I wouldn't change a thing.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
Yeah, I was going to ask you that, because you know,
I got involvement that whole controversy with Corey Feldman and
Corey Haim and Krahem's mother. You never saw anything like
that going on.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
You know, I didn't, And I have to say, like
I know that it's true. And you know, I just
think my parents were very protect with me, and I
think they shielded me from a lot of stuff that
could have been negative about the business. You know, once
I got on one day at a time, we moved

(09:09):
to California, and you know, I was working in New
York quite a bit. I had just finished a movie
with Audrey Hepburn. I did have a film called They
All Laughed, which was directed by Peter Bogdanovic and starred
Audrey Hepburn and John Ritter, and I had a very
big role playing her son in that. I worked with
Audrey for six weeks. So I had all these incredible

(09:30):
experiences with these wonderful people, because like Paccino and Hepburn,
like these are the people that I always looked up to,
and now I'm kind of like peers and I'm only
thirteen years old, and you know, I learned so much
about how to be professional, how to be dedicated. One
thing Pacino said to me early on was never believe

(09:53):
your own press. And that was such good advice because
you know, you know, these these people were artists, they
weren't fame seekers. Like Audrey Hepburn was such a humanitarian.
She gave so much back to the planet, but yet
was one of the greatest stars our planet that has
ever seen. So I just learned so much about ethics

(10:14):
and all that jazz. And then I booked one day
at a time, and I'm in LA and I'm working
with some of the greatest people there, and everyone was
just so happy to be together, and there was just
so much love on the set. Like I didn't have
negative I really didn't have negative experiences. No one tried
to take advantage of me. I mean, like I said,
my parents might have shielded a lot of that. At

(10:36):
one point, I thought maybe they were over protective. But
I look back now and I think they did the
right thing. But you know, I went to school on
the back lot of Universal Studios. For all four years
of high school. I was in a school in New
York called Professional Children's School, and I went on a
correspondence course, and on the correspondence course, I had loot

(10:57):
her on the back lot and in my classroom with they,
like all the Norman Lear shows, had a big trailer
that had all these separate classrooms, and then sometimes we'd
all get together and it was the cast of facts
of Life, silver spoons, different strokes like these were all
the kids I went to school with. And two of
my closest friends were Kim Fields, who played Tuty on

(11:21):
Facts of Life, and Nancy McKee and who played Joe
on Facts of Life. In fact, right now, she's on
Dancing with the Stars, which I'm so excited about. I've
been voting for her every week.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
He on that, Dude, I would love it.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
It's a hard show, though, man, I don't know. I
don't know. I'm kind of old. It would be fun.
But my point being, I had such wonderful people around me,
including those kids, like we all had so much in
common and we were just good to each other. I
saw Todd Bridges actually, just a couple of weeks ago
in Saint Louis. I was doing one of these autograph

(11:57):
shows like you were talking about, and he was there
and it was just so great to reconnect with him.
He's doing so incredible right now, so you know, But
it was just that was my childhood, that was my
high school class, and I was so fortunate. So no,
I didn't have the Corey Haim, Corey Feldman experiences. I
really don't have any negative about it. Truly.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
But it does seem though that you kind of gave up,
and I gave up, but left the Hollywood and left
acting until recently you're doing his phone here sacred journeys.
What cause you to leave?

Speaker 1 (12:30):
Well, I'm gay and back in those days in the eighties,
be gay and out, you know, and I made a
really serious choice, you know, I was. I was. I
pissed off a lot of people, like my agent and
my manager and my PR people because they were all
of course making some dough off me at the time,
and I was being offered other stuff, and I just

(12:54):
decided I wanted to run away and I needed privacy
to be authentic with myself. You know. The world has changed,
thank god, since then, you know, but in those days,
there had to be a whole fake life, that public
persona to be able to do that, and I just

(13:15):
wasn't willing to lie. So once I finally came out,
I always knew I was gay, but I was never
with anybody during one day at a time, Like I
was just very dedicated. I was quite the virgin, you know.
I didn't do anything, but I always knew I was
going to, Like I knew what was in my heart.
So I fell in love with the guy when I
was about eighteen. He lived in New York. He was

(13:37):
a theatrical manager. I went back to New York, moved
in with him in Gramercy Park, and I went to
NYU Film School, and I just decided to change my life.
I needed privacy to do that. You know. I didn't
have to be out ended actor because he kind of
couldn't do it back then. So that was the real deal.
You know. I don't talk about that much, but I

(14:00):
didn't really just I just didn't disappear. I made a
conscious choice to disappear, and I'm glad I did. Dude.
It kept me so healthy. It kept me authentic to myself,
like one of the things that I think was important
for me too. And I think a lot of actors
fall into a realm of only knowing acting. I was

(14:20):
able to discover all these new parts of myself, Like
I didn't limit myself to a definition of I'm only
an actor. Like I became so much more fulfilled in
my life because I let go of who I thought
I was and started to discover all these new parts
of myself. And I'm such a more well rounded person
because of those choices in my twenties. I mean I

(14:42):
look back now and go, God, that was so good
to do that, because, like, you know, I've had so
many incredible opportunities and the life that I have now
would never have happened.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
Yeah. Yeah, Glenn and I are Facebook friends, and I
could tell you he's a really happy guy. He's not
like me in fight with everybody all the time. You know,
he's definitely, yeah, very happy guy. But you know, Glang,
You're so right. When you go back and look at
those old one day at a time reruns, it's so dated. It.
Things were so different back then. There was an episode
about Julie Mackenzie films protesting Arabs. She's protesting the Arabs

(15:18):
over the price of oil. You know, Arabs go home.
You could never you know, the world is so different now,
it really is.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
You know, it's so interesting, and because the social messages
that Norman Lear sent in his shows were just so poignant.
I mean it really I think Norman Lear not only
changed the course of television, but changed the course of
our country. You know, like when Maud was contemplating whether

(15:46):
she was going to have an abortion, that was the
first time that had ever been dealt with on television,
and it got such you know, well attention first of all,
but also negative attention and controversy. But you know, he
pushed the envelope. So there were so many social aspects
and I look back and some of them are the same,

(16:08):
and then some you can't even do anymore. So, you know,
it's interesting. I look at those shows, and specifically our
show One Day at a Time came out on the
complete series on box set this year, so I've had
a chance to actually binge watch our show. I haven't
watched it in forty years. I'm very busy, so I
don't get to watch reruns and I don't even know

(16:29):
when things are on. So I got a chance to
like binge it and just like watch one episode after another,
and I was really proud of it. I was like,
oh my gosh, Like, who knew what we were doing?
I certainly didn't. I mean, I knew I was on
quite an amazing show, but I didn't know the voice
it had socially when we were doing the show. And

(16:51):
I look back and there were a lot of things
that our country still argues about that we've made very
little progress in. And then in some cases, there's some
issues that are null and void, and then some issues
that are taboo you can't even talk about it now,
like the one you discussed. Yeah, So you know, it's
an interesting Geiger counter. Let's put it that way. It's

(17:12):
like a Geiger counter as to how far we've come
and how not far we've come in some ways.

Speaker 3 (17:20):
Now now, so many of the on one day at
a time. You know, people take it for such a
like a simplistic, you know, sitcom. But there was some
real talent on that show man, real acting to him.
Bonnie Franklin, Pat Harrington, like I said before, Mackenzie.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
Phillips, Valerie, Bertinellie.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
Right, Michael Lumbeck, you know.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Mike the lemback, Oh my god, what a talent. Boyd Games,
who played Valerie's husband is probably I think he just
surpassed everyone as the most Tony winning actor on Broadway.
He's won more Tony's than any other actor or something
like that for plays. So, you know, I was still

(17:58):
rounded by so many incredible people, and Bonnie was one
of my dearest friends for thirty years. Like I really
stayed close with Bond. Her step kids, Julie and Jed
are two of my dearest friends, and because of them,
I really really became a member of the Franklin family
and that meant a lot to me. You know, we
lost bond four years ago. She passed away from cancer.

(18:24):
So I get a little choked up talking about her
because she played such a big role in my life,
all my life, like way beyond one day at a time.
So I think of her with such respect and a
smile comes on my face when I think of Bonnie Franklin,
that's for sure.

Speaker 3 (18:42):
How about Pat Harrington? Though, you were really close to
them too, right.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
I was still close with Pat and I'm still close
with his family, his kids too. That was what was
cool about when I came on the show, is they
all had kids my age. So I think that was
a connection too, because I became friends with Tessa Harrington
and Michael Arrington and Terry Harrington and Pat Harrington Junior
junior who lived in Tucson, and I'm still very close

(19:05):
with all of them. So yeah, Pat was one of
those guys for me that was so much more than
just a friend. He was really like a mentor. I
learned so much about comedic timing from Pat, and he
was always one of those people that wanted to share,
you know, all his knowledge, Like he took me under
his wing in such a way. Dude. You know, my

(19:26):
character came on the show as Bonnie Franklin's boyfriend's son,
and the audience actually wasn't really digging her having a boyfriend,
so they wound up killing him off, and she basically
adopts me. So Schneider becomes kind of like my surrogate father,
and that was a whole new dynamic to Schneider's character

(19:46):
and Pat ate it up, like he was so excited
to have like a Sarahgate son to work off of that.
He got to write a few episodes every season, and
he would always write episodes of he and I and
it meant so much to me. You know, that chemistry,
the Schneider Alex chemistry, was one of the greatest joys

(20:09):
of being on that show, truly. And share a quick
story with you. We were doing an episode actually where
Valerie meets boyd Gains for the first time, and there
was this scene. Pat wasn't even in the scene. He
was not even in the scene, but I had to
do some shtick and Valerie rips my shirt off me

(20:30):
and because she wants to get her boyfriend, her to
be boyfriend, to make T shirts, so she was trying
to get in front of him again. So she uses
me and my teeth, like I need T shirts. So
she rips the T shirt off me, and I have
all the stick now and I'm bare chested, I'm embarrassed,
and there was just like a whole moment for me,

(20:53):
and Pat pulled me aside and goes, okay, let me
help you with this. Let me help you, and he
gave me all this shtick to do and it went
over so incredible. It was one of my best moments
ever that I remember from the show. And he wasn't
even in the scene. He just cared so much about
making the show funny, so did Bonnie. Like they cared
so much like responsibility as to how can we make

(21:16):
the show better as opposed to any kind of ego
I want a bigger part or anything like that. So Pat,
you know, gave me the stick kind of directed me
in this moment. And I remember after we filmed it,
I walked off stage and he was standing there and
he just picked me up and spun me around, just
kept telling me how proud of you well, I'm so

(21:37):
proud of you. I'm so proud of you. You did
it perfect. He was so great. Did you hear them?
They were hysterical, and you know that just made me
feel so good. That's who Pat Harrington was. It was
he was there for the good of the show.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
Yeah. Real character actor too. Go back and look at
some of the work he's done, small parts and stuff.
Just a real actor's actor. Let's take a little commercial break.

S h.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
Okay, welcome back to the Opperaman Report. I'm your host,
private investigator and opperman. We're here with the great Glenn
Scarpelly from the One Day at a Time. But also too,
He's got a brand new film out quote Sacred Journeys.
He can catch it on Amazon dot com right now. Glenn,
tell us about the new film.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
Well, you know, this was an exciting project for me, Man.
I had a friend who was a writer in LA
who said, I want to write a film for you
as an actor. And you know, over the course like
I was saying, over the course of you know, the
last couple of decades, I moved to Sedona, Arizona. I
actually own a local TV station here really Sadona now,
which you could find at stona noow dot com. That's

(26:51):
what I've been doing for twenty years. We're actually moving
into our nineteenth year on the air. So I've always
stayed in the business and have just you know, read
the find my life in so many ways over the years.
But I'm very thrilled to have my TV station and
my life here in Sedona. But my buddy said, I
want to write something for you as an actor. So

(27:12):
that was thrilling for me because you know, I left
acting because I was gay and I couldn't say it
out loud, and they wanted me to play all kinds
of games and I wasn't willing to do that back
in nineteen eighty six. But here we are cut to
you know, the two thousands, and life is different, so
I can be who I am and still act. So

(27:33):
I'm opening myself up to all of that again. And
Sacred Journeys was kind of my re entry into the business.
And I started developing this project and you know, it
went through many different changes, and you know, I love
the whole creative process, and what it turned out to
be is this sweet little film called Sacred Journeys. As

(27:54):
soon as we started writing the female lead. You know,
I've been friends with Mackenzie all my life and I
are bestie besties, you know, she comes out to Sedona
quite a bit. When I go to La I often
stay with her at her house. We're really close and
I had said to mac Listen, I'm starting to develop
and write this thing. It's a film project. Would you

(28:16):
be willing to, you know, play the female lead. She
was like, hey, yeah. So that really helped us quite
a bit because we had her attached to the film
really early early on, and that was very exciting. Also,
we wanted to work together again, mack and I, so
this is an on camera reunion. Even though we see
each other constantly in our personal life, this is an

(28:37):
on camera reunion for all those one day to time
fans that haven't seen us together in all those years.
So that part of it's totally fun. And it's a
sweet little film. You know. I wanted to make a
film about growth, about how we can grow as people.
And my character Marco in the film starts off pretty lost.

(28:58):
He's pressed, his house is a mess, he hates his job.
He's going through the motions. And then one day Mackenzie,
who was an old friend, shows up and she brings
this little boy who turns out to be my son.
And not only that, but he has cancer. So in
the course of the film, you get to see how

(29:22):
my character really transforms and how they transformed by meeting me,
and we become this very modern family. And one of
the themes of it was when love comes into our life,
that's when we can really grow. And I truly and

(29:43):
I really believe that, you know. That's why I wanted
to make a film about that. Really, it's the only
thing that really does show us any kind of truth
or moves us in any way, is when we feel
something on such a deep level, and them showing up
in Marco's life was the thing that ignites him to
improve his life and to start taking care of himself

(30:05):
and basically getting his act together. And there's one pivotal moment.
If you all go and even just watch the trailer
on Amazon or on my Facebook page, you'll see that
there's this moment that is just Marco realizes that he
starts to care again, like he didn't care before and

(30:25):
now he cares. So that's the overall I won't give
away anything else. There's so many other twists and turns.
The film also stars Stephen Wallam, who played Thor for
seven years on Nurse Jackie on Showtime. He's such an
incredible actor. Love love love him. So if there's any
Nurse Jackie fans out there, Thor is in our movie.

(30:47):
And then our son was played by Matthew Costo, wonderful
young actor doing so many incredible things. A lot of
people that have already watched the films that he's a
mini you, because that's what I was asking for. I'm like,
I'm looking for a mini me. How do I find
my mini me? So Matthew Costo came aboard and I'm
just proud of the film. I'm so proud. I'm so

(31:09):
happy to be out there. I'm also a producer on
the film. My sweet buddy, Tracy Boyd directed the film.
Tracy is an accomplished filmmaker in and of himself. The
fact that Tracy came on board to make this film
was just incredible. He and I worked so well together.
The film was written by Michael Calucci, another wonderful friend,

(31:32):
who was the guy that came to me and said,
I want to ride a vehicle for you. But Tracy Boyd,
if I may just brag about Tracy, Tracy works on
all the Alexander Payne movies like Sideways, and The Descendants
and all these incredible films that Alexander Payne makes. Tracy
has been an associate producer along the way. He's been

(31:52):
a second unit director on a lot of these films.
About Schmidt was one of the first films Tracy worked
on with Alexander film, so, you know, to have this
kind of support and his whole crew. Rod On Popovic,
who was our DP, our cinematographer who also works with Alexander,

(32:14):
came out. I mean, so we had some of the
best of the best on this film, and I was
just so grateful to be able to pull this incredible
team together to work with me and Tracy and Mike
and McKenzie and Steven, Like it really was one of
the joys of my life. So I really hope people
can check it out. Like I said, it's available on
Amazon Prime. We're so proud of that, and it could

(32:35):
also be rented and downloaded just through Amazon if you
don't have a Prime account. But if you have a
Prime account, all you gotta do is go there and
start streaming right now. It's totally available. I'm so thrilled.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
Yeah, like you said, the kid who plays your son
is the cutest kid in the world. He's even cuter.
I hate to admit, he's cuter than you were when
you Ah.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
Man, I'll take that as a compliment because we found
and we were so happy.

Speaker 3 (33:00):
Yeah, but then the can you find out he has cancer?

Speaker 1 (33:04):
You know, I know, I know, But it's not a
sad film. It's a very hopeful movie.

Speaker 3 (33:11):
So it's a comedy. Actually, right, it is a comedy.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
And you know, I like to call think like I
would say, a comedy about cancer is kind.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
Of a black those cancer comedies.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
It's cancer comedy. So I mean, you know, this is
the one thing I learned from Norman Lear because Norman's
shows were funny, yet they also had pathos. You know.
There were times, I mean I cried more on one
day at a time. My character cried more on one
day at a time than I ever did in any
drama I've ever done. Like, there were so many moments

(33:43):
of seriousness, and you know, because that's what life is.
Life is the gamut. Life is everything that's real is
you know, sad at times and funny at times, and
you know, angry at times, and you know all those emotions.
So well, that's what we were trying to create with
sacred journeys. Like we made a comedy, yes, but we

(34:06):
had different levels of depth within it, like there are
serious things that happen, and we also had to deal
with that. And one of the interesting parts as being
a filmmaker on as a producer of the film also
and someone who helped develop the movie, it was interesting
to find tone. Tone was an interesting thing because we

(34:28):
also needed to find that right balance of what is
the comedy and what is the drama. So I love,
love loved that creative process that was so wonderful. And
Tracy Boyd our director, really was brilliant in finding the tone.
And I really, you know, or it all to him

(34:48):
that I believe it was not only found, but found successfully.

Speaker 3 (34:53):
And you were telling me off the air that, just
like de Niro and Raging Bull, that you had to
put on weight and you're scrangually up her here make
yourself look a stay of Late at Night right, Yes,
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
Well, Marco is such a freaking mess in this movie
that I kind of had to embrace that. And he's
also addicted to sugar. He eats so much sugar every
moment he can. He's like eating Natella with ice cream
on a potato chip. And I mean, if you watch
the movie, you'll see he eats so much. He eats
such bad food, fast foods and everything. So I was

(35:27):
kind of skinny, and I was like, I can't. I mean,
we have to gain I have to gain some weight,
because it wouldn't be authentic to see this character eat
like this and not be a little pudgier. So I did.
I gained about I don't know. I'm probably about fifteen
to seventeen pounds heavier than than I am now, so
probably around fifteen pounds. And it was fun. I let

(35:49):
my hair grow. I didn't cut my hair for four months.
I let my beard grow. I didn't cut my beard
for four months. They put I went gray. I got
little sleeps so that, you know, I could look a
little tattered. It was fun. It was so fun diving
into all that, you know. I mean, for me, that's

(36:09):
the joy of acting, to step into the shoes of
someone I am not, you know, Like for me, that's
that's what's all about, to be an artist and try
to convince everyone that I'm not me. I'm that guy.
And I hope, I hope we accomplished that in the movie.
I mean, the feedback so far has been unbelievable. I'm

(36:30):
so thrilled. Everyone that's seen it has been given us
so many kudos, and a lot of people are watching,
So that part I'm very excited about. I hope some
of your audience that maybe wasn't aware of it will
check it out because it's it's a project I'm really
proud of.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
Yeah, anchor check out the what's it called Sacred Journeys
I'm getting. I'm getting Sacred Journeys on Amazon dot com.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
Sacred Journeys and it's jo you are n E y s.
Make sure you put the S in there and then
you'll find us Sacred Journeys.

Speaker 3 (37:07):
Right, because when I was googling, I there's a lot
of stuff out there called Sacred Journey all over the place,
a lot of stuff.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
There's like, there's all kinds of things, but there's only
one Sacred Journeys on Amazon Prime. That's us.

Speaker 3 (37:18):
Now, what about you went, Norman Ly is doing it.
You said something ninety something years old. He's doing a
remake of One Day at a Time.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
Yeah, so it's in season. We just finished season three
on Netflix. I should say they just finished I came
on this season doing a cameo guest star role. I
was so thrilled that Norman and his team invited me.
Mike Royce and uh Gloria who run the show, they're

(37:46):
the showrunners, they invited me to come on. I was
just so thrilled and blown away. And I got to
tell you I walked on the set. The set is
similar to the original set. Let me actually back up
and give you the layout of what the show looks like.
Is called One Day at a Time. It's got an
entire Cuban cast, which is awesome. They're a Cuban family.

(38:11):
They have Justina Machado is the an Romano role and
they changed her name to Penelope. And they have their grandma,
who was played in our show by Nanette Fabre. But
they have their grandma living with them and she is
Rita Morano. And just working with Rita Morano was blowing

(38:31):
me away. I mean, I just adore her. She's just
so incredible. So she lives with the family. It's got
an older sister and a younger boy. The younger boy's
name is also Alex. There's also a Schneider in there.
Todd Grinnell plays Schneider. He's incredible. The concept behind Schneider
is that his father was very wealthy and boughtom a

(38:54):
building to give him something to do. So he's very
different than Pat. He is a kind of a trust
fund baby who totally connects to this family and becomes
family with them, very much like Ourschneider. But this show
is so funny and so smart and so well written
and deals with very many different types of social issues today.

(39:17):
The Mackenzie character was played by Isabella. The character's name
is Elena, not Julie, but Elena. Isabella Gomez plays the role,
and she's gay. She's a lesbian and she has a girlfriend,
and it was about her coming out and dealing with
the family and a Cuban family, and like how difficult

(39:39):
it was for them at first and how they accepted
her and how her dad, like to this day, doesn't
accept her. And I mean, there's just so many more
things you can do on television today, So I'm so
proud of them. The an Romano character, like I said,
Justina Machado's character, who is Penelope, is a vet, a

(40:00):
vet who has PTSD, and Mackenzie has done a recurring
role where she plays her therapist, her group therapist for
a woman's group of veterans that have PTSD. So McKenzie's
been on the show. They brought me on the show
here for season three, so thrilled. In fact, mack came
to the taping. She wasn't on the same episode as me.

(40:21):
She did a couple of others, and she came to
the taping and it was so wonderful to get her support.
But that's going to drop on Netflix early in the year,
I think in January, but I haven't gotten that officially
by the time we're doing this interview, but I believe
it'll be January on Netflix. One Day at a Time,

(40:41):
Still produced by Norman Lear at ninety six years old.
The man goes to work, he goes to the gym.
He's incredible, in freaking incredible. And I got to tell you, Ed,
I walked on the set and here's like you'll see
some picture if you go to my Facebook page. I
posted some pictures of me on the set and like,

(41:04):
it looks like our looks like our apartment from back
in the day. I mean it's a little more modernized,
but it basically is the same layout with the kitchen
and the living room in the bathroom where it is,
and I'm sitting there on the set staring at Norman
working with Rita Moreno, and it blew me away, like
I can't believe, Like it was so surreal. I almost

(41:25):
started to cry, like it was that it brought me
that much joy. It was, it was so surreal, like
this show has got in life again and it's incredible. Hey,
what about I'm proud of the show.

Speaker 3 (41:39):
So you mentioned how you a struggling plug it. Yeah,
you mentioned how you were struggling with you know, being
in the closet and stuff like that. Back in the eighties.
Were there any shows on that first one day at
a time about homosexuality or coming out of the closet or.

Speaker 1 (41:50):
Anything like that, you know, not when I was on.
I think they might have done one earlier with one
of Valerie's friends at school being gay or something, but
you know, quickly it wasn't all about that. I know.
Norman did a show where on the Family, an episode

(42:11):
where Edith's cousin came out as a lesbian, So I
think they did handle the Norman handled the subject. He
pushed the envelope in every way, shape and form back
in the seventies and eighties, especially the seventies, but we
never really handled it. You know. I always thought maybe
if the show went on, we'd find out that my

(42:32):
character might be gay. That was something that always was
swirling in my head, although I never said it out
loud because I wasn't out in those days. Alex certainly
had girlfriends on the show, but I thought maybe at
some point he would get real with himself had the
show continued. But like I said, back in those days,
no one was ready for it. I mean, look, even

(42:53):
when Ellen came out, I mean it killed her show
at first, her career. I mean, she took a big
beating for all of us to be able to actually
have it out there, and you know, and then it
paid off for her because she was able to then
rekindle her career in being an honest woman about who
she really is. And now audiences accept gay people. It's

(43:16):
a different world.

Speaker 3 (43:18):
It's such a different world. And let's take another little
commercial break here with Glenn Scarpelly. He's got this new
film coming out just called The Sacred Journeys. You can
catch on Amazon right now. You can watch it if
you want to write this evening if you want to,

Speaker 3 (46:52):
Okay, welcome back to the Operaman Report. I'm your host, pregident, investigator,
and Opperman. We're here with the producer director, but the
producer behind us, Sacred Journeys, and the actor Glenn Scarpelly.
You can catch out Sacred Journeys on Amazon dot com
right now, and you can catch Glenn Scarpelly at the
Western Lax at October nineteen, twenty twenty one signing autographs

(47:13):
with Mackenzie Phillips and with the crew from American Graffiti. So, Glenn,
let me ask you this man, because you seem to
be such lifelong friends with Mackenzie Phillips when all that
stuff was going on, when she was a little kid
man and using like intravenous cocaine and stuff like that,
you know, did you worry aware of what was going on?

Speaker 1 (47:31):
Well? I mean yes. I mean, first of all, I
got on the show because of Mackenzie being fired for
her okay, so it was very well known at that point.
I hadn't met mac yet, you know, I came on
the show, and then when we heard she was coming back,
I kind of thought I was going to be let go.
I was like, Okay, well she's coming back to the show.

(47:52):
And they were like, no, we're not.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
Going to let you go.

Speaker 1 (47:55):
We're going to have you and her, and you know,
that was wonderful. That's what started our life long friendship.
You know, when she came back, we were totally kindred spirits,
let's put it that way. And she struggled her whole life,
you know. I mean I know a lot of people
that struggle with all kinds of addictions. Her substance abuse, addiction,

(48:16):
an alcohol addiction, you know, is something very public. What
I didn't know about was the sexual abuse. That part
I did not know. You know, we're very very close,
like I said, so we've shared a lot of different things.
So everything I'm about to say is not anything she's
already talked about publicly. But it wasn't until she dealt

(48:38):
with her sexual abuse when she turned fifty. This is
how her book starts, so again not telling anything out
of school, but she was finding herself in jail at fifty,
going oh my gosh, I really have to I have
to deal. And it was finally when she came out
about the sexual abuse that she began to heal because
so much of our addictions are numbing our pain. And

(49:00):
whether it's addiction to shopping, or addiction to nicotine, or
addiction to whatever you're in. An addiction is sugar, even food,
on some level, we're numbing our pain. So we all
have to deal with this. This is something that is
you know, I'm not being a judgmental. I've had to
deal with mine in my addictions. Yeah. Yeah, So you

(49:24):
know she did it like she did it, and once
she dealt with that and came out publicly, they did
an hour of her on Oprah and she wrote the book.
I knew that she was really doing it, like she
was really going to heal this void in her heart.
And she has. I mean, she's proven herself, beyond proven herself.
I mean she is you know, a drug alcohol addiction

(49:48):
counselor at the incredible Breathe Life Healing Center in West Hollywood, California.
If anyone has issues with drugs, you know, the Breathe
Life is an amazing place to go, and Mackenzie is
a counselor there. You would actually be working directly with
Mackenzie Breathe Life Healing. Look that up. If anyone is

(50:08):
in need right now, they're an incredible, incredible place. So
I'm so proud of her. Like, not only did she
get her act together, but she helps so many people.
And I've visited her at work and I've seen what
she does, and she's amazing. I mean, she's the real deal.
I've seen her do interventions with people that will lie
right to her face and she'll be like, you know, fu,

(50:30):
I know you're lying because I used to say the
same types of things. So like, she can really really
connect with her patients because she's been one and knows
what it's like and knows the things we tell ourselves
and knows the lies we not only tell ourselves but
tell others. So she doesn't let anybody get away with
any crap. Let me tell you, she's a tough cookie

(50:51):
in her job, but also kind and compassionate and amazing.
She wrote a book actually called Hopeful Healing, which is
really a wonderful guide to drug an alcohol addiction, a wonderful,
you know, book to help support someone that's already on
the path to sobriety or on the path to sobriety.

(51:14):
So I'm just so proud of her.

Speaker 3 (51:15):
Yeah, I'd love to get her on the show sometimes.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
Great.

Speaker 1 (51:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (51:20):
They speaking of a book though, Man, here you are,
you've worked with some of the most incredible people in
acting Hands Street. Are you going to write a book?

Speaker 1 (51:29):
Yeah, you know, I've been doing so many times, dude,
I haven't had a whole lot of times. It's a
lot of time. It's another project. I'm actually working on
another film right now, so that I'm developing. So you know,
between the TV station, the film, all this other stuff
being released, I haven't had time for a book. But
I've been asked and I would love, love, love to

(51:52):
do that someday. So we'll just keep that door wide open.
I'll give you a call when I do, and we'll
plug it on your show.

Speaker 3 (51:57):
Oh absolutely, because and they say, when you're in your fifties,
you know this is the time, your autumn years is
the time? Do you have time to write? And when
your people this time is supposed to be writing. Well,
write a little bit every day, you know. You don't
have to sit down and write all at once.

Speaker 1 (52:08):
That's true, That's true. You know I do. I do
a lot of speaking engagements where I go out and
talk and I share my life in that way, and
I share what I learn, and I do a lot
of equality, uh speaking on behalf of the LGBT community,
so on and so forth. So I kind of have

(52:30):
it laid out because I do this so often. I
have all my notes on what I talk about and
the stories I tell. So it's just in a verbal
way right now, but someday in a book form. It's
on the horizon. It's on the horizon.

Speaker 3 (52:44):
We're just about out of time, Glenn. Is there anything
you want to tell us that I know? Is there
anything you want to leave us with before you go?

Speaker 1 (52:52):
No? I mean I just again, thank you so much.
I'm thrilled to be on the show. I'm thrilled to
have you as my Facebook friend. I hope everyone finds
me there Facebook. I'm very available on Facebook. I'm also
on Instagram at Glenn Scarpelly, on Twitter at Glenn Scarpelly.
It is me. I answer, I answer so many comments.
I'm not one of those people that just likes things

(53:13):
I like. I'm very engaged, let's put it that way.
So if you're looking to reach out to me. I

day at a time and I just end this with

Speaker 3 (53:32):
Okay, okay. Well, then we had Glenn Scarpelly from the
everybody knows them from one day at a time. But
like I said his Facebook page, he is a cool guy,
h for sure. He's definitely a happy guy, well bounced guy.
You always see me. He has something positive to save her, respectful.
The new film is called Sacred Journeys. You could find
it on Amazon Prime right now. You can watch for free,

(53:54):
but by for dollar ninety nine. I'll put some links
up at opperamaniniport dot com and also to uh you
know all my Facebook, my Twitter and that kind of
stuff too as well. Glenn Scarpelly, uh you know another
Staten Island guy, you know, the Stanton Island kid. And
I gotta tell you, man, I had you know, I
wishould have. I should have pressed him on this because
when I had my beaper company on Stanton out I

(54:17):
had a customer named Glenn Scarpelly. And it was interesting
because I was when I was tempted to run the
monthly deeper invoices. You'd have to print out all the
invoices and you have to fold them up and put
them in envelopes. And I did this by myself until
I bought machinery that did it for me. Okay, I
would actually sit there. I never actually folded them by hand.
I always had a folding machine to fold these invoices,

(54:38):
and then I outsourced it to a company that did
it all for me automatically. I just had to download
the file. But when I was doing this, when I
would be running the invoicing at the end of the month,
and sometimes i'd have to do it from the Stanton
Island moll in the middle of the night if they're
more closed, and I would. You'd be steering at the
screen and see all the names go by, so I'd
see everybody's names, and I pretty much memori thirty thousand names.

(55:01):
I had thirty thousand Beeber counts just just my accounts.
I had wholesale accounts too, And one of the names
there was Glenn Scarpelly. So the guy came in to
pay his bill one night and he says Scarpelly, and
I says, oh, Glenn Scarpelly and he goes yeah, And
I says the Glenn Scarpelly, do you know the guy
from One Day at time? And he goes yeah. So

(55:23):
somehow they had some kind of connection. So there you go, man,
Glenn Scarpelly. And I would love to get Mackenzie Phillips
on the show trying to follow that and love to
hear about her whole story because you can imagine her
father was John Phillips from the Mom was in the
popas you know, it was on the Manson Family, all
kind of stuff like that. You know, we're gonna tell
all that stuff. You know, she wants to come on
the show and share her wisdom. There. Check out Operamandreport
