Tyler sits down with a bona fide action legend — Lorenzo Lamas, star of “Renegade” and “Falcon Crest,” son of Hollywood royalty Fernando Lamas and Arlene Dahl. At 68, seven months sober, Lorenzo talks about the thing none of the tough-guy roles prepared him for: managing his fear without a drink — and the late-life relationship that finally gave him a reason to.
It’s a wide-open conversation about fame, fear, and starting over — proof that it’s never too late.
In this episode:
