 Michael Devine talks about playing "Detective Paul O’Rourke" in HBO’s new mini-series “The Undoing" | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 28:14

Actor Michael Devine joins host Elias on the podcast. Michael stars as ‘Detective Paul O’Rourke’ in HBO’s new mini-series “The Undoing” (with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant). To prepare for this role, Michael was able to take inspiration from his real-life duties as a recently retired NYPD Detective Sergeant. As well as, the many law enforcement roles he’s played over the years in notable film/TV shows such as When They See Us, The Post, Blue Bloods, Orange Is the New Black.  Michael was actually a 3rd generation policeman – and lost his father in the line of duty. During Michael’s own fourth year as a policeman, he experienced the catastrophic events of 9/11. He was posted up at the St. Patrick’s Cathedral for most of the day doing surveillance work, and headed over to Ground Zero towards the end of the day to provide extra support. He spent 12-years in total working for the Chief of Detectives Office, and was most recently staffed to relay information to the press. Michael retired from the NYPD this year to focus on his blooming acting career.    In 2011, his fondness for music led him to release an album entitled ‘Songs of Valor and Hope,’ which landed at #1 in four different categories on Amazon Music. With Irish influences and tones similar to that of Josh Groban, the album consists of a collection of cover songs such as “Ave Maria,” “Hallelujah,” “Amazing Grace” and many more treasured classics. Michael has had the honor of performing his music at Madison Square Garden, Rainbow Room and Lincoln Center – and served as the NYPD’s National Anthem soloist. Aside from singing, he also plays the bagpipes. He is currently working on creating a new album, and hopes to one day be cast in a Broadway production.

 Nicole Leier talks about and her work with “Bite the Bullet Stories” working with Nicolas Cage & more. | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 30:10

Nicole Leier joins host Elias on the podcast.  Nicole is an award-winning director and producer, as well as an actress. Following her role in “A Score to Settle” opposite Nicolas Cage, Nicole is currently on location directing her first full length feature film. Her role in "A Score to Settle" was originally written for a man, but after a stealer audition the part was re-written for her. Her collective credits in acting, directing, live theater, and producing, are the testament to her work ethic and raw talent.   Nicole has fought the adversities of being both a female and a woman of color in the industry and is using her voice and platform for change.  Having left a difficult upbringing at her home at the young age of 13, she’s had quite a journey, and is certainly not one to let others define her purpose or her calling to inspire and help others.   Additionally, Nicole is an ambassador for “Bite the Bullet Stories” which is an organization committed to being a safe platform for men and women to share their stories of overcoming personal hardships and obstacles. Bite the Bullet was started with the objective of breaking stigmas, building self-worth and breeding empowerment for all, and has more recently dedicated to spreading the stories of protesters on the front line, and the tragic personal stories of police brutality and racism experienced by many.  You can find Nicole on Twitter @NicoleGLeier & Instagram @NicoleGLeier As always, please don't forget to follow us on Instagram @themccpodcast Twitter @themccpodcast & Facebook @themccpodcast and if you can leave a review on Apple Podcasts and subscribe Thanks for Listening!   www.themccpodcast.com
