This dynamic episode allows us to go back in time with a man who crossed the airwaves and spent hours in many of our homes on some of the most popular television shows! Are you one who has watched shows with household value, those that were the staple-hood of television? Guest Lee Paul, an Air Force veteran who was an officer in King Soloman, Alaska, grew in Brooklyn, New York and followed his own “yellow brick” road of interest in science and arts, taking him to the dreamland of many…Hollywood. He has spent over 25 years of performing, more than 75 on-camera appearances, 30 plus commercials, along with 53 credits in filmography, some of which are iconic, such as: The Van Dyke Show, Matlock,Falcon Crest,Simon & Simon, The Fall Guy,Kenny Rogers as The Gambler: The Adventure Continues,B.J. and the Bear,ChiPs,Wonder Woman,Adam-12,Cannon,Mannix,Happy Days, and The Sting.

On the show, he talks about what originally brought him to the drama department (a girl he was chasing) and how it wasn’t the girl he fell in love with that ultimately led him to stardom. He also talks about some of the roles he played (the one in The Sting being the most significant), what his father equipped him with to fulfill these roles, and how it was cyclical in his life. This is an amazing story in itself!

Lee shared in-depth about how the illusion of having an easy life as a movie star is not as easy as it seems and how there is a misconception as to royalties actors receive from the movies they have appeared in. He talks about the low percentage of actors that qualify for pension and health benefits, specifically he is 1 of 2.5% of 3-400,000 actors, that do. He even talks about his .07 cent and .01 residuals!

There are some very good points Lee makes about having a good background and craft along with what it takes to make it in “Hollywood.” However, this philosophy is something that can be applied to anything one would like to achieve in life!

Giuseppe Lentini was born in Belgian from Sicilian parents. His father was an Opera Singer and his home was filled with music and inspiration. So much so, it was natural for Giuseppe to follow in his father’s footsteps. Eventually, he set off to London in 2014 and was in an “X factor” episode. Simon Cowell praised him and told him not to ever give up, which encouraged him further to win an actor showcase. He later landed roles in an “AutoTrader “commercial “Driving Characters on Dave”, the stylish “White Fog E-Cigarette” commercial, and an Amazon Prime feature “Raymond’s 5:. Giuseppe has also been cast in a role as a Goblin in Disney’s “Artemis Fowl” (2019) directed by British actor, director, Sir Kenneth Branagh.

Recently, Giuseppe was in Hollywood and he was advised he should move to the United States to land more roles and become immersed in the entertainment industry. On the show, Giuseppe reminisces about his childhood. He would listen to his father always singing, rehearsing, and teaching his eldest brothers and sisters. At 4 or 5 years of age, he would say “I want to learn! I want to learn” and his father would tell him that “his time would come”. In his home, opera was not the only genre of music played. There was a wide variety of music, so he was exposed to many languages as well. Giuseppe speaks French, Italian, and English. At the age of 16, by this time having had experienced many challenges in life, wrote his first ballad, “Believe in Yourself.” Giuseppe believes in dreams and sticking to your efforts. With this, success comes opportunity.

He also talks about the process and his time spent on the X factor; he even sings a few bars! The interesting story and irony in the music he chose for the show it was that of Michael Jackson and it turned out to be the same day of his passing. Giuseppe shares another ironic tidbit that one must tune in to hear reference George Michael.

There is so much energy and elation coming across the screen and airways from Giuseppe Lentini, it is easy to see and hear his gifts as a performer. He also has beauty in expressing and conveying average conversation that makes images lite up about mundane activities we all do. Giuseppe will touch your heart as you listen to him share with you about a series he is working on and possibly converting into a feature film and also working on a feature film and screenplay. While talking about these endeavors in the entertainment industry, he conveys a remarkable part of his daily living working as a PA, helping those with children Autism and other people with disabilities. His goal was to take the inspiration from those he cared for and shed light on their world with his screenplay. Giuseppe tells the situation of a 92-year-old man who he has cared for that no longer feels like he exists; though he has traveled the world, he is invisible.

Ladies, be ready to be mesmerized as Giuseppe serenades you on this episode! Gents, you are sure to also be inspired because you are going to have a lot of joyful smiles as well!
