And she 53 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 6: said why don't you take an acting class see if 54 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 6: you like it. So I jumped into this acting class 55 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 6: in New York City and absolutely fell in love with 56 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 6: it and just felt like my career trajectory was going 57 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 6: this way instead of this way. And I ended up 58 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 6: booking this role on all my children, and six months 59 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 6: into my three year contract, was diagnosed with testicular cancer. 60 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 6: And so it was like the most exciting time of 61 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 6: my life, but also the most scary because you never 62 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 6: think you're going to hear those words. 63 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 5: And when I did, I was thirty two. 64 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 6: You know, I'd always tried to work out and eat healthy, 65 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 6: and so you know, it was like this, you know, 66 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 6: it's kind of like that denial. But I had to 67 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 6: have surgery radiation treatment, and so I hid this from 68 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 6: everyone in my cast because at the time, it's guy stuff, 69 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 6: it's testicular I mean, I don't want to the public 70 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 6: to know about this stuff. And after a few weeks 71 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 6: of of showing up on set having the radiation treatment, 72 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 6: I just I was just feeling weak and sweaty and 73 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 6: just and not great. And I didn't want my my 74 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 6: my producers and the director to think I'd gone out 75 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 6: and was partying all night and my director came up 76 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,679 Speaker 6: to me and he said, you don't you don't look 77 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 6: so good, and I just I, honestly from trying to 78 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 6: hold it all in, I just broke down and I 79 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 6: I just told him I I was going through this 80 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 6: cancer experience and had radiation treatment. 81 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 5: And he was like, an idiot, why didn't you tell us? 82 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 5: Like why would you hold something. 83 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 4: Like this in? 84 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, this is what I guess the big reason why 85 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 6: I now talk about it because I know how lonely 86 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 6: it can be and how scary it can be to 87 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 6: go through this experience on your own. And a year 88 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 6: later the cancer came back, had to have another surgery, 89 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 6: and so I've been pretty adamant about my checkups and 90 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 6: early detection, so thankfully because I've been going yearly. And 91 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 6: this is why I would say anyone out there, if 92 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 6: you haven't seen your doctor in a. 93 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 5: While, get it checked out. Guys.

So early detection 97 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 6: can really help. And for me, thankfully now I'm fifty two, 98 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 6: I was getting my my yearly checkups and they discovered 99 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 6: that I had a high PSA and got a biopsy 100 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 6: and sure enough it was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year. 101 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 6: So I just had surgery about two months ago for process. 102 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 2: Again, incredible, it came back after all of these years. 103 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, a different kind. 104 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 6: It is different kind, but yeah, I have to go 105 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 6: through this now for a third time.

And so I was like, well, 179 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 6: who do I choose to be in the face of 180 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 6: all of this? Do I Am I going to let 181 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 6: this defeat me and get me pressed and worried? Or 182 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 6: can I choose to be, you know, resilient and courageous 183 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 6: and what would Maximus do in Gladiator in this moment? 184 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 6: And so I started channeling some of these characteristics so 185 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 6: much so that when I was going to Sloan Kettering 186 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 6: Hospital every month for my checkups, I would stand outside 187 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 6: of the building in front of you know, New York City, 188 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 6: and I would just be like. 189 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 5: Are you not enginetained? And people by like, who's that 190 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 5: crazy guy? 191 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 2: Like? 192 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 6: But just you know, you got to pondure up whatever 193 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 6: works for you that gives you that that courage and 194 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 6: that strength to be able to move through something so 195 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 6: scary and disempowering. 196 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 5: And that's what I try to share with people. 197 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 2: Colin. Isn't also the part of the wellness that you're 198 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 2: also bringing to people, also the vulnerability, also space for rest, 199 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 2: also the other aspect because it's not a gladiator situation 200 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 2: all the time. 201 00:09:58,840 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 5: Yep, yep. 202 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 6: It's such a good point that you bring up the 203 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 6: after you because, especially as guys, we don't necessarily want 204 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 6: to admit when we're struggling or when we need help. 205 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 6: And most of the time I think we just try 206 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,839 Speaker 6: to make sure that we're not bothering other people or 207 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 6: being a nuisance. But what I learned was by keeping 208 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 6: this all to yourself, not only do you stay isolated 209 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 6: and alone in this experience, you deny other people the 210 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 6: opportunity to show up for. 211 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 5: You, to be. 212 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 6: Giving and supportive and to create more of these authentic 213 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 6: friendships and bonds. And as soon as I started telling 214 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 6: people what I was going through on all my children, Man, 215 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 6: I've never seen so many people show up to say, Hey, 216 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 6: do you want me to go with you to your 217 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,079 Speaker 6: doctor's appointments or to your radiation treatments or whatever. And 218 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 6: I was like, actually, that would be great. And so 219 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 6: by sharing this and opening up, you know, you don't 220 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 6: have to be needy in the experience, but you can 221 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 6: confidently and from an empowered space tell people what you 222 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,199 Speaker 6: need and that and. 223 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 4: Then accept it and let it in, let the love in. 224 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, and that creates I. 225 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 2: Know you talk about heart space, you talk about communication 226 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 2: from the heart on your I was looking at some 227 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 2: of your reels, which I love because you don't expect 228 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 2: that from someone looking like you and having had the 229 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 2: career and being in charge, and it was like, whoa, Wow, 230 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 2: that's a whole other level of wisdom. 231 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 4: I think that you can share with people. 232 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 5: Wouldn't you say? 233 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 6: Our acting, though, has enabled us to to be more 234 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 6: open about our feelings and our emotions, and you have 235 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 6: to be to channel all the crap and life into 236 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 6: our work. 237 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, but it can be a double edged sword 238 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: because I think yes, we have to stay open and 239 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: vulnerable for our work. But I know when I was 240 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: younger and more recognizable, it was harder for me to 241 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: be authentic and honest because I felt like I was 242 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 1: maintaining this persona. And I remember when my dad was 243 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: very sick and I finally allowed myself to start telling 244 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 1: the truth about it instead of trying to maintain this persona. 245 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: And so many said, oh, I had that experience, I 246 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 1: had that experience, that had that experience, and suddenly what 247 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: was separating me? You know, I love the term, there's 248 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: a term where sick as our secrets, and I would 249 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 1: say it was as separate as separate as our secrets, right, 250 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: Like we're hiding it, we're trying to maintain this and 251 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: like you said, you're not giving people a chance to 252 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,719 Speaker 1: show up for you. But you're also not allowing yourself 253 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: to be authentic. You're separating yourself from the moment. So 254 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: I'm so touched by that moment when you allowed yourself 255 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: to be seen as you really were and allowed yourself 256 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 1: to accept that help, right. 257 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 3: And so much of who you are and how you've 258 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 3: handled everything that's come your way is so inspiring. 259 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 4: And you have been. 260 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 3: As long, I mean as long as I've known you, 261 00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 3: and clearly your whole life. 262 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 4: You're not just one thing. You were not just an actor. 263 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,079 Speaker 4: You were so many things. 264 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 3: Even while you know, while you were dealing with cancer 265 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 3: and recovery and healing, you were always very entrepreneurial and 266 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 3: there were so many other things that you were pursuing 267 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 3: and that you were focused on, and you've always had 268 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,719 Speaker 3: other business interests, And I love that you've channeled all 269 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 3: of those things about who you are and you're bringing 270 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 3: your message and healing to other people, and it's just 271 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 3: such a wonderful thing to share. 272 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 4: You're so cool, Colin. 273 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 3: You just have so many cool things going on, and 274 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 3: you're very inspiring. 275 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,719 Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I'm sorry you've gone through and are 276 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: going through. You have gone through and are going through. 277 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: But I also feel like the right person was chosen 278 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: because you're turning it around and using it for good 279 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: and using it to connect to people. You could use 280 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: it to stay in the shame in the dark, but 281 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 1: you're using it to step out and connect and lead 282 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: the way to say you can go through it this way. 283 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: Like one of the things I've been looking at in 284 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: my own life A lot is the story I tell 285 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: about what's happening to me, Like there's a thing that happened, 286 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: and there's a story I tell. And how I can 287 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: change the story, which is what you were talking about, 288 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: You sort of change your character. And I would say, 289 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: I can always change the story. I don't have to 290 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: say this is bad. I can say this is interesting, 291 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 1: this is different. And you're literally utilizing this difficult thing 292 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: to connect. It's such a wonderful example for people. 293 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, and I actually I wrote a book a few 294 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 6: years ago called Agile Artist Life Lessons from Hollywood and Beyond. 295 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 6: I talk about the experience of going through this cancer journey. 296 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 6: And I actually I lived through the whole nine to 297 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 6: eleven experience as well. I was living across the street 298 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 6: when the planes hit and saw. 299 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 5: Colin and when. 300 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 6: The first tower fell, I was one of the people 301 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 6: running down the street and I couldn't get back to 302 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 6: my place for a few days. And once I did, 303 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 6: it looked like the windows were blown in. It looked 304 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 6: like a bomb had blown up in my apartment. And 305 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 6: I just I always think of that day and it 306 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 6: always reminds me of no matter how crappier life, for 307 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 6: your day might be going there's always someone who has 308 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 6: something or some challenge that they're going through that may 309 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 6: be worse than yours, or and or they were, they're 310 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 6: not even here to be able to experience another day 311 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 6: to pursue their dreams and their goals. And so at 312 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 6: twenty seven years old, when I experienced that whole thing, 313 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 6: I'd been studying acting for a couple of years, but 314 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 6: the idea of going out to Hollywood to pursue this 315 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 6: crazy acting dream was like, well, who am I to 316 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 6: think that I could do that? And after that experience, 317 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 6: I realized the only thing that was holding me back 318 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 6: was my fear of what other people might think, or 319 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 6: my fear of failure. And that experience made me realize 320 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 6: that I feel like I had a second chance at life, 321 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 6: and that if you ever think about if you were 322 00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 6: one of those people trapped up on the top of 323 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 6: those towers and someone said, Okay, I'm going to give 324 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 6: you a second chance at life, would you let anything 325 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 6: stop you from going after. 326 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 5: What you care about? 327 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 6: Tell that person you love them, that you love them fully, 328 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 6: you know, because tomorrow is not guaranteed.
