In this November 2021 episode of Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast, actor, producer, and foodie Stanley Tucci talks food, family, culture, fame, and maturing as an artist and person.

Stanley Tucci has been in scores of movies, TV shows, and plays. He's a successful actor, but even starring opposite Meryl Streep didn't launch him into household name status.

Then, during the first COVID-19 lockdown, Tucci posted a video of him making a cocktail, and everything changed.

The video went viral and helped with the incredible success of the 2021 CNN series Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy, which Tucci produced and hosted.

The show was followed by the release of Tucci's memoir TASTE: My Life Through Food, which was an instant bestseller.

Hosted by actor Dax Shepard, Armchair Expert is a podcast featuring open conversations about being human.

In this November 2021 episode, Tucci talks to Shepard about his love of cooking and food, filmmaking, his fight with cancer, and how maturing changed his approach to work.
