1:31Now PlayingMost people know Michael Nouri from his roles (Flashdance, Yellowstone, The Pitt…) But this conversation isn’t really about Hollywood.
It's about what happens when a man turns 80, stops needing the world's approval, and starts telling the truth about what drove him all along. He opens up about growing up as the peacemaker in a combative home, the moment on a Broadway stage with Julie Andrews that cracked him open, the men's group he has shared for 12 years with Bryan Cranston and Laurence Fishburne, how he turned down a legend to take a chance on Flashdance, and why his only goal right now is to finally give himself the pat on the back his father never did.
It’s honest, surprising, and a lot deeper than people might expect.
And underneath all of it is the question he seems to be answering now: when all the roles fall away, how he wants to be remembered.
Michael is reflective, honest, and completely unguarded. Which is the essence of Beyond the Bar Podcast.
