ABOUT THIS EPISODE

The crew of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit called Joel de la Fuente "Mariano" for his ability to nail the final scene. The Maplewood actor comes by the house to close out the podcast for 2023 and chat about his decade long recurring role as technician Ruben Morales, his work on The Man in the High Castle and more!

Also on the agenda: remembering Andre Braugher, TV vs. film acting, the new SAG contract and enfuriating the Phillippine government with his part on Madam Secretary! We also talk about little known Japanese American hero Gordon Hirabayashi, the subject of Joel's one man show Hold These Truths.

Look for Joel in the upcoming second season of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon!
