Say -- us once again tomorrow but have a currently.

Actor director travel -- got a brand new book at that came out yesterday it's called the longest way home.

We did -- back thanks nice to be here and there is a great.

All really bad.

My eyes.

It has to do with the -- you know.

If you ever have a neighbor like whoever lived next to these people -- the -- -- was.

Yet the bigger kids -- and they're playing out in the yard he's I think is another -- in the roof you know with a -- you know to god up there now.

What people don't know about -- minutes of this team in the green room and they of course recognize you from all of your acting you've done in your life but they don't know that -- this trap.

-- writer yeah I have this sort of alternate side secret career for the last dozen years or so ten years as a trouble right area.

It's less self discovery or just wanna see nice stuff what actually is the former I mean I started traveling to.

I was doing all these movies and kind of -- and I found traveling was a real way to sort of figure out who death.

Ally was -- now I thought the further away from home I got the better I felt about things more clarity I had so I just kept traveling -- I start writing about it.

And that eventually led to to the book sure.

And when you but I would imagine when you were you know acting all the time you know -- studios would -- around first class now that you're paying for your own -- And so for a little right up front you know in the magazines are paying -- my back in the -- there yeah behind the waiting.

-- but it's from a young age right because that's on your book when you into Bermuda you wrote.

I did what -- had your -- out this literature -- -- a little journal is -- is all about my trip and.

When I have for breakfast and things yeah.

And that it eventually just grew took on a life of its own as a total accident -- travel.

But you're a loner.

So does anything happen when you travel do you talk to people yeah it's got halfway yeah I guess an episode says thank you -- -- -- think.

Well I mean I you know some people go to -- -- -- -- -- and have coffee and chat figured out.

I figure stuff out and find out what I'm feeling when I'm thinking when I'm on the road for my home and I mean this books about sort of coming to terms with.

Who's getting married and intimacy -- has a loner.

Become a couple you know and that's really the event in the whole book I figure that out along the way you know but you want -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- it's one of those weird paradox.

-- -- honey I've got a -- I -- -- -- so I didn't like myself come back to you yeah so that's why I find that kind of paradox makes complete sense to me other people look at me.

Can easily get -- how do you figure that out there because if your wife wants to be with -- -- -- wanna go to Patagonia which is one of the places you stop in your book.

How do you have I got it I think it's sort of those male female things I'd like I have to have me -- I can help -- she's like going to have possibly can then go have me -- it might you know.

It's a real -- and helping and.

Thought it was -- -- -- -- -- -- come back from traveling on a better person a better version of myself -- more.

I'm kinder I'm more open on more accessible -- -- I suppose I.

The sentimental or bring back the love you know when I come back from the trip and so you missed your life I Tim you know on -- -- it was utterly.

Yeah it is do you go on trips -- tier one yes well of course I got out -- club head speed.

Government -- -- -- that but what they attacked him hey you -- it -- -- I'm not satisfied please -- uncommon if not might have had this sort of side -- life in the travel industry also still acting as.

Well yeah I have.

Little independent movie coming out that this weekend actually called the Brooklyn Brothers beat the best that you know Christmas movie for hallmark and beyond vs Christmas the hallmark -- -- ironic movie.

When you say homework -- that means people are going to be -- people will be tried -- and hugging and by the end we're all gonna feel really great.

Yeah right I don't know it's a great formula really works and they're really fun -- through because you don't have to be kind of hit -- -- -- just be sort of like.

Hi and he -- -- and I really like you know how to ensure that snow as we know how the hallmark movie and how do you how do you project your your life and so full -- -- other.

Go well let -- -- -- -- when it's it's our hearts go out.

Yeah it's 850 -- discoveries of the projected to go to -- do you -- what next.

Well at the.

I don't know they don't tell I think it's it's sort of the -- One day in -- leading to the next.

I don't know the whole travel thing in the whole sort of has changed my life and certainly is done that.

And it's given me -- different kind of focus on not just totally focused on acting in that kind of thing so I like having two or three hats to Wear.

Do you stay in touch with.
