Explicit Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum Daylight Media I’m Michael Rosenbaum, I’ve spent the better part of the last two decades in and out of film and television - mostly known for playing the bald dude on the show Smallville. I’m the guy that you probably don’t know by name, but when you see my face you might say “oh, that guy from that thing.” I’ve befriended some of the most talented people in the business, but it wasn’t until I started inviting them into my home that I realized, I didn’t really know these people.

They have the same insecurities and flaws that we all deal with every day. In a dark, yet enlightening way... I find a lot of comfort in that. I invite you all to join me while I get inside each of these fascinating people. Explicit I Think You're Overthinking It Chris Hardwick | Daylight Media Hey it’s me! Chris Hardwick!

My hope is to inspire people to take a breath, get their brain out of the way a little, and take one step forward at a time.
