94 – Ed Begley Jr!

Too Many Cooks! Jeff & Ryan are proud to welcome acclaimed actor & activist Ed Begley, Jr. to the podcast! We discuss how his season 8 guest appearance on M*A*S*H nearly got him both fired AND killed! Other topics include St. Elsewhere, improvising with Christopher Guest, Ed’s line of environmentally-safe cleaning products, and his “painful” acting technique.
