103. Tony Shalhoub’s Journey Through Theater, Television and Film

In this episode, I interview the talented Tony Shalhoub. He is best known for his iconic role as Adrian Monk in the hit series “Monk”, where he received multiple Emmy nominations and wins, a Golden Globe Award, and two SAG awards. He also starred as Abe Weissman in “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," where he won a Primetime Emmy Award and two further SAG awards.

We talk about how Monk changed Tony’s life, and how playing the Obsessive-Compulsive Detective lead him to experience similar traits in his own life. We also delve into the behind the scenes of both Monk and the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and what it was like working in television.

We talk about how Tony got into acting while studying at the University of Wisconsin, and how this led to him studying in Maine and the Yale Drama School. From here, we talk about his theater career, including a stint in Cambridge before moving to New York City, and eventually landing his breakout role on “Wings”.
