Segel returns to talk with Terry Gross about his Emmy-nominated series Shrinking, in which he plays a therapist who suffered a nervous breakdown in the wake of his wife’s death. Segel opens up about his own therapy, acting opposite Harrison Ford, and overcoming writer's block. He thinks of his vulnerability as a super power. "I'm kind of devoid of pride or shame about the dirty underneath. I'll say the stuff that a lot of people are trying to hide." Segel wrote and starred in the hit comedy film Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and played David Foster Wallace in The End of the Tour.  Subscribe to our free weekly newsletter [https://support.whyy.org/page/39306/subscribe/1]  Follow us on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/nprfreshair/]  Subscribe to our YouTube channel [https://www.youtube.com/@thisisfreshair]  Check out the Fresh Air Archives [https://freshairarchive.org/] See pcm.adswizz.com [https://pcm.adswizz.com] for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.
