Peter Tolan Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson Oh please! That was just too much fun. Nirvana for this fan girl to catch up with 14-time Emmy Nominee, and two-time winner, Peter Tolan. In the midst of a Rescue Me re-binge, if you've never seen it or it's been years, do not pass go, run. Please. Brilliant, real, hysterical, terrifying, it's perfect TV. In my all-time top 5. Peter, bless him, is opinionated and fearless in recounting people, events, and choices, which makes for great conversation and interweb TV. We started with his recent collaboration with Norman Lear, Guess Who Died, which did just that. With that loaded deck, it's crazy that NBC pulled the plug. But, it dealt with older folk… who wants to represent them. Us. Hmmm. We talked his early days in theatre, sketch, cabaret, his early collaborations, a running theme throughout his career… from Linda Wallem, Garry Shandling, Dennis Leary, Billy Crystal, Paul Reiser, and the before mentioned Norman Lear, the man keeps good company. He earns it… and demands it. Breaking almost every rule, from his first spec script landing him a staff writing gig on that very show, unheard of, to getting producing credit before he earned it, an unearned Emmy as he calls it… to earning every one of those other 13 nods, and the nest Emmy Statue he took home. Fascinating, fun conversation about Carole Burnet, Murphy Brown, getting The Larry Sanders Show, connecting on The Job, creating and making Rescue Me, Analyze This with an intimidating Robert DeNiro, the Mad About You update, Helen Hunt, and the creative crisis Peter found himself in, just pre-pandemic, when two of his babies were thrown out with the bathwater. All-in-all, a lotta laughs, of course, there were… look at the man's credits… a lot of insight, intelligence, and clarity. Damn, I had a good time. Enough of this, I have Season 3 episode 10 waiting for me.

Just what the doc didn't order #NoDrugs #BothSober One of my favorite actors, from one of my favorite (maybe my favorite) shows of all time, Rescue Me, was in the house. We talked Dennis Leary, Peter Tolan, Lenny Clarke, and Steven Pasquale, yes, Jack I listened to him sing on YouTube, WOW. Loved him on Rescue Me... and now, this. Touched on The Fighter, talked NYPD Blue, a Broadway audition at age 8 against a 6 yr old redhead named Ron Howard... walking down the exact same alley 61 yrs later to make his Broadway debut opposite Denzel Washington in The Iceman Cometh. We talked about the Bronx, being in the NYFD, practical wisdom about getting agent. We talked Slappy, Jack's bride and true love, and he crooned her a tune. Still smiling... happy time! Shouted out Jimmy Smagula ~Jack wants to take singing lessons! Liberty Devitto, next week's guest, and new friend Pete George, who embodies generosity and kindness.

Writer, director, and producer Peter Tolan joins Norman and Paul to discuss their new show “Guess Who Died?”, getting started as an actor, moving to LA from New York at 30, his sexual discovery later in life, and his new life afterward.

It was 7 yrs in the nailing to get Peter Tolan to say, "Yes." An Emmy Winning hero, for The Larry Sanders Show... Rescue Me (in my top 5 of all time). Add to that Murphy Brown, another Emmy… Home Improvement, The Job, Ellen… how about the little film, Analyze This?!? Analyze That! I analyzed him On The Road Taken… we got to the meat of how the hell this guy does it… over and over and over again. We talked Garry Shandling, Norman Lear, Jeffrey Tambor... He cracked open his tool box and shared his tricks of the trade. Which are absolute treats.

The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Ryan Hurst of WGN America's Outsiders. BREAKOUT ORIGINAL DRAMA RETURNS TUESDAY, JANUARY 24 AT 9:00 PM ET/PT   Created by Peter Mattei and Executive Produced by Peter Tolan and Paul Giamatti, Gritty Appalachian Drama Stars David Morse, RyanHurst, Gillian Alexy, Thomas M. Wright, Kyle Gallner and Christina Jackson This season on “Outsiders,” the struggle for power and control continues in the rugged hills of Appalachia as the battle between the clan and the town escalates with the Farrells becoming more isolated than ever before.  The uneasy truce that had generally existed between the townspeople and the family tribe came to an abrupt end when Big Coal headed up the mountain and the standoff continues to have repercussions, putting everyone to the test as they're forced to face new challenges and enemies.    Actor Ryan Hurst first appeared in the 1993 TV series Saved by the Bell: The New Class as Crunch Grabowski. The son of actor Rick Hurst, he gradually gained more exposure on the small screen as he joined the cast of Campus Cops for nine episodes while appearing on several movies such as Patch Adams, The Postman, Saving Private Ryan and Remember the Titans, where he played all-American linebacker Gerry Bertier. In 2002, he was cast on the mini-series Taken before accepting roles on Wanted, Medium and Londynczycy. His biggest TV break came, however, when he joined the cast of Sons of Anarchy in 2008 as Harry "Opie" Winston. After Sons of Anarchy, he moved on to star on the TNT series King and Maxwell.  

Peter Tolan (co-creator/showrunner, Outsiders, Rescue Me); Brannon Braga (co-creator/showrunner, Salem; Star Trek: Next Generation); Y. Shireen Razack (Shadowhunters); Adam Nussdorf (creator, Beyond).

Peter Tolan (Rescue Me, Outsiders, The Jim Gaffigan Show, Analyze This) talks TV pilots and his creative journey.We talk about: creating character conflicts balancing comedy and drama The central idea, the nugget, the central question of what a show is and writing to it Building character conflicts, plot in a TV pilot Mapping out the season/seasons of a series Episode balance of comedy and drama on Rescue me Writers room Using cards Cards wall Story checkpoints Sequences George Clooney Sony Television Pitching Rewriting Writing the rough draft Writing just comedy/jokes vs. story/plot – what happens next? The Larry Sanders Show UMass theatre days New York theatre exploits Murphy Brown Gaffigan Playwriting to TV writing Breaking into the business today – Youtube, shooting somethingQuotes from the show: "You slowly put everything in place so you can get to that last moment. We knew what the last image of the first season of Rescue Me was so we could always write to it. We slowly could make our way towards that." "Rescue Me was dealing with death all the time. As dark as it went with drama, it had to go just as light with the comedy. You had to balance the two out." “If you're young and starting out,  you can shoot on your phone. Write something and make it. Put it on YouTube  and people will see it.” “You write somebody who's a dick - who has outrageous behavior, but then how do you have an audience empathize with that character, care about that character? So an essential character is not the dick, it's the other guy."

How does dialogue serve to reveal character? Chas & Stu are joined once again by the renowned script developer and producer, Stephen Cleary. In the first part of our series on writing better dialogue (there will be more!), we take a close look at how dialogue serves character: individuating characters, revealing characterisation, shifting status, and much more. Together, they (well, mostly Stephen) break down scenes from ANALYSE THIS, NOTTING HILL, REMAINS OF THE DAY and THE AVENGERS. In a first for Draft Zero, we include audio excerpts to make everything even clearer / stop Chas & Stu (mostly Stu) from butchering lines. That, and not everything is on YouTube. And, in back matter, we continue the discussion into more academic areas of the difference between theatrical, cinematic and television dialogue.
