Episode Description from the Publisher

Tom Cavanagh tells Kyle Meredith why the writing on You’re Killing Me worked so well that the cast mostly just had to stay out of its way. The Flash and Scrubs favorite talks about building his small-town detective alongside Brooke Shields and Amelia Williamson, improvising lines, sneaking a little Columbo into the performance, and why knowing the ending helped him “keep the powder dry” until the finale. There’s also a quick detour into Prince, Bowie, and one of the smoothest segue compliments ever handed out in an interview.Listen to Tom Cavanagh chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp and use my code betterhelp.com for a great deal: https://www.betterhelp.com* Check out MyBookie and use my code KYLEM for a great deal: https://www.mybookie.agAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
