The Buzz - BuzzWorthy Radio

At the premiere of Falling, NaVell J. Lee catches up with Archie Renaux, KJ Apa, and Isabel May for three conversations about love, friendship, forgiveness, and discovering who you are.

Archie discusses Johnny's second coming of age and how becoming a young father shaped his own understanding of maturity. KJ talks about forgiveness, reuniting with Isabel after their unrealized Wonder Twins collaboration, and portraying Jimmy Stewart in Jimmy. Isabel explores Jillian's emotional journey, why relationships don't always survive personal growth, and her excitement for Mr. Irrelevant.

Three interviews, three perspectives, and one film that asks audiences to reconsider what a happy ending really means.

Heather Tom returns to The Buzz ahead of the Daytime Emmy Awards.

The six-time Emmy winner opens up about receiving two nominations this year, including recognition as both Lead Actress and as part of The Bold and the Beautiful writing team. We also look ahead to another huge milestone: 2027 marks 20 years since Heather debuted as Katie Logan.

Heather dives into Katie's evolution, why the character's heart-transplant scar and history still matter, and what's really driving Katie's fierce reaction to Dylan after everything that happened with Will and Luna.

Plus, Heather explains why she believes the real love story in the Bill/Katie/Brooke triangle was actually Katie and Brooke, why Bill will always be the love of Katie's life, what it's like working opposite Crew Morrow when he sounds so much like his dad Joshua, and how Heather pulled off writing, directing AND acting in the same episode.

And, naturally, we discuss the most important Emmy tradition of all: the Lead Actress nominees' lunch.

What if one moment completely changed the trajectory of your life?

Amanda Brugel joins The Buzz to talk Dark Matter and why the quieter, deeply personal Episode 5 became one of her favorites of the season. We also explore a pivotal piece of career advice that changed how Amanda saw herself as an actor — leading to a realization that perfectly connects her own story to the questions at the heart of Dark Matter.

Amanda also opens up about expanding beyond the roles she once envisioned for herself, representation for actors of color, and her responsibility to portray multifaceted women she recognizes in the real world.

Sometimes a conversation about alternate lives becomes surprisingly personal.

Theo Rossi joins NaVell J. Lee for a wide-ranging conversation about Bruton, revisiting Sons of Anarchy, the upcoming Legends, and his new film Come With Me.

Rossi reflects on Juice and Jax's unforgettable final conversation on Sons of Anarchy and why that scene continues to resonate with fans years later. He also takes us inside Bruton, from researching the real Bryan Bruton and filming inside prisons to portraying a man confronting accountability, survival, fatherhood and forgiveness.

Plus, Rossi offers a tease of Legends and his reunion with Charlie Hunnam and his former Sons castmates before diving into Come With Me and a larger conversation about social media, conformity, influence and why original thought has become increasingly difficult.

It all leads to an unexpected discussion about podcasting, finding your own voice, and what happens when people start looking to everyone else to tell them what to think.

Michael O’Keefe and Elizabeth A. Davis join NaVell J. Lee for a special bonus conversation about A Break in the Rain and the healing power of music.

O’Keefe discusses Jake’s journey through grief and the unexpected connection that begins to bring him back to the people he loves, while Davis explores the bond between Jake and Catriona and how music allows them to express what words alone cannot.

The conversation takes a deeply personal turn when Davis reveals the story behind “Empty Boots,” a song she wrote about her grandfather and his struggle to tell his children that he loved them—and how the song has since brought healing to her own family.

It’s a conversation about grief, love, connection, and the extraordinary ability of music to help us say what sometimes cannot be said.
