Actor Joey Luthman
from Live On Air with Steven Cuoco Hosted by Steven Cuoco
Actor and filmmaker Joey Luthman has built an impressive career with credits spanning Weeds, iCarly, Modern Family, Grey's Anatomy, Criminal Minds, Chicago Med, and Hawaii Five-0. Yet his most ambitious role isn't happening on a television set. It's unfolding on the open road, on a OneWheel, and in service of a mission far bigger than himself. In a recent episode, you spotlighted Carson Steele, the undrafted free agent who defied expectations, battling his way from Ball State and UCLA to the NFL with the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles. That same relentless, against-all-odds spirit defines Joey's journey. After losing his beloved cat Winter to chronic kidney disease, he turned grief into action, riding a OneWheel nearly 4,000 miles from California to Maine in 2025 to raise awareness and funding for feline CKD and cancer research. The cross-country trek became CAT MAN: Journey to Save Cat Kind, a documentary chronicling determination, resilience, and purpose. But Joey's mission is far from over. He continues to push the limits in pursuit of raising $1 million for cats, including a world-record attempt and a benefit event on September 19 in Glendale benefiting Every Cat Health Foundation. It's a story of loss transformed into hope, and proof that one person, armed with passion and perseverance, can inspire a movement.
