  In this heartfelt and deeply human episode of Still Here Hollywood, Steven Weber opens up to Steve Kmetko about life after the spotlight, parenting two gifted musician sons, navigating middle age, and learning how to embrace vulnerability in a world that doesn't always reward it. Weber reflects on the humor and humility of growing older, seeing his mother in the mirror, and being the “old guy” breaking up a mosh pit at his son's indie show. The conversation takes a powerful turn as Steve shares his personal story of surviving a stroke and the perspective that came with it. Weber gets candid about his complicated relationship with his ex-wife—still close, still connected, still family—and how that emotional maturity stands in stark contrast to the “affable jerk” roles he was once typecast in. With raw honesty and flashes of wit, this episode explores mortality, love, reinvention, and the surprising clarity that comes with surviving the hard stuff. #StevenWeber #StillHereHollywood #SteveKmetko #ActorInterview #StrokeRecovery #ParentingMusicians #AgingInHollywood #LoveAndLoss #RelationshipGoals #TheShining #WingsTVShow #ChicagoMed #MoshingDad #EmotionalGrowth #HollywoodReflections #StevenWeberInterview #VulnerabilityMatters #LateCareerTruthsShow Credits Host/Producer: Steve Kmetko All things technical: Justin Zangerle Executive Producer: Jim Lichtenstein Music by: Brian Sanyshyn Transcription:  Mushtaq Hussain   https://stillherehollywood.com http://patreon.com/stillherehollywood Suggest Guests at: [email protected] Advertise on Still Here Hollywood: [email protected] Publicist: Maggie Perlich: [email protected]
