Episode 12: Patty O'Neil

Gary sits down with Boston-area actress Patty O'Neil — a familiar face across film, television, commercials, and even reality TV, with a personality as big as the roles she plays.Patty is perhaps best known to Boston audiences from her local commercials and print work for brands like Revlon, TaylorMade, and American Girl Doll — but her on-screen career goes well beyond that. She appeared opposite Jake Gyllenhaal and Miranda Richardson in the critically acclaimed Stronger, the powerful true story of Boston Marathon bombing survivor Jeff Bauman, playing Aunt Jenn — a tough-talking, fiercely protective presence at the heart of the film. She also appeared in The Equalizer 2 alongside Denzel Washington and Pedro Pascal, and has built an indie film résumé that includes Sheppard's Maiden and Thinking with Richard.And then there's the reality TV chapter — Patty won Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's competition series The Hero, filmed in Panama, where America voted her the winner. A self-described game show geek, she's also appeared on Deal or No Deal, Family Feud, and ABC's Match Game with Alec Baldwin.A true Boston original — warm, funny, and completely authentic — this conversation with Gary is one you won't want to miss.🎙️ Subscribe so you never miss an episode of Addicted to Acting with Gary Tanguay#ActingPodcast #PattyONeil #AddictedToActing #GaryTanguay #ActorsLife #Stronger #TheEqualizer2 #BostonActors #TheHero
