It’s the final episode of our first season (sob), and there is no better artist, soul, human to help us close it out than Michael Urie. We talk about the crazy time we all find ourselves in, the value - and the work - of real self care, how to pay attention to the signals we are given, and how our understanding of spirituality has evolved individually and over the course of this podcast. A self-proclaimed agnostic, Michael never thought he’d be invited to the show (even though he’s our hashtag number one listener), so we were thrilled to go deep, share some laughs, and sit in the warm glow of his charisma.

As an actor, Michael is most well known for his television work as Marc St. James on Ugly Betty, Gavin Sinclair on Modern Family, Redmond on Younger, roles on Partners, Workaholics, Hot in Cleveland, The Good Wife, and The Good Fight. Movies include: Single All The Way, Swan Song, The Decoy Bride, Petunia, Beverly Hills Chihuahua, Lavender, the upcoming Jersey Boys Live starring Nick Jonas. On Broadway, Michael has appeared in Douglas Lyons’ Chicken & Biscuits, Bess Wohl’s Grand Horizons, Harvey Fierstein’s Torch Song and How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. Off Broadway, on tour and in London, he did more than 600 performances of Jonathan Tolins’ solo play Buyer & Cellar - including one from his living room early in the pandemic streamed live on Broadway.com, raising nearly 300k for Broadway Care Equity Fights Aids. Other Off Broadway plays include Jane Anger, The Temperamentals, The Government Inspector, Homos or Everyone in America, Shows for Days, High Button Shoes, The Cherry Orchard, and two Tony Kushner plays: A Bright Room Called Day and Angels in America. Behind the scenes, Michael directed Bright Colors and Bold Patterns and produced Happy Birthday Doug (both plays written and performed by Drew Droege and both available on BroadwayHD), directed the short film The Hyperglot, feature comedy film He’s Way More Famous Than You and co-directed Thank You For Judging an award winning documentary about High School speech tournaments. He’s narrated the audiobooks Lily And The Octopus, Hero, Midnight Cowboy and The Editor. He is the recipient of two Drama Desk Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards, an Obie, an LA Drama Critics Award, Actors Equity’s Clarence Derwent award, as well as GMHC’s Howard Ashman Award, The Broadway Beacon Award, Coach Art’s Coach Champion Award and Juilliard’s John Houseman Award. He lives in New York with his partner Ryan and their children, a dog and cat.

Ouf. Janie here. I gotta be honest. This one is still taking some processing. But it seems I got some good old dusty energy out of the way so I can focus on what is really blocking me creatively, which might be… (surprise, f***ing surprise) more of me!
