Actor and director Ronnie Marmo may be a soap star but the truth is he’s so very much more. Sure, he played Ronnie Domestico for three years on General Hospital (yeah, the character was written for him) but his main passion is directing theater. The Artistic Director and Cofounder of Theatre68 (which has an outpost in New York as well as LA), Marmo has produced over 30 plays, including the critically acclaimed Bill W. and Dr. Bob (in which he’s also played Bill). He’s also been in numerous feature films and guest starred on Jag and The Young and the Restless, among others. But more significantly, he’s been sober over two decades after years of crack addiction and drug dealing led to him coming to at a San Diego 12-step picnic (you gotta listen to get the whole story). In this episode, he and I talk about hating the taste of beer, why the whole world could benefit from 12-step and always imagining dying young, among many other topics.
