Actor PETER FLIHAN is our guest on this episode! We talk with him about his acting career and of course his latest appearances on two New York TV shows: East NY and Blue Bloods!New York City born and bred, Peter Flihan got his first taste of acting as the “M” in “Merry Christmas” in the kindergarten play. But it was behind, and later on, the stage with Fordham University’s “Mimes & Mummers” in the Bronx where he got really hooked.  It would only take 13 years and 2 prior careers as a foreign exchange broker and then a sales manager for a teddy bear company to finally allow him to become a working commercial actor.With typical perfect timing, he started his pursuit right before the SAG and AFTRA strike in the Spring of 2000.  But with the incredible support of his wife and children, a difficult start became a rewarding journey that continues over 20 years later.  His scope of work has grown over that time to include healthy aspects of voiceover, film, and television roles.As a dedicated community firefighter since 2003, Peter has attained the rank of Captain in a Ladder Company, and is the current President of that Company.  An active freemason, Peter seeks a sense of shared purpose in every family he enjoys being a part, especially the creative one of acting.Here is the link to see Peter's scenes on East New York!  Click to watch thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5g1ImDgvk8
