Bruce Kimmel is probably the most popular returning guest on The Partridge Family television series.
He made an immediate impact with the viewers and struck an instant chemistry with David Cassidy, Shirley Jones and Susan Dey.
In this special episode, Bruce recalls how the cast made him feel like one of the family, his friendship with David and speaks movingly about the man he knew.
Bruce is a renowned film and stage director, author, composer, actor, songwriter and a Grammy-nominated music producer. He has one of the longest-running daily blogs which celebrates 20 years this November.
He wrote and directed The First Nudie Musical, has produced solo albums for Helen Reddy, Petula Clark and worked with Lauren Bacall, and Dorothy Loudon who starred alongside David in his first short lived Broadway show, The Fig Leaves Are Falling in 1969.
Bruce has produced and hosted a monthly cabaret series, Kritzerland, for more than a decade which he moved online during the past year winning critical acclaim.
He reflects today on his influences as a boy, early auditions, why he always has to be creative, his approach to directing, and admits he has never had a holiday in 35 years.
He opens up about his depression and the epiphany which pulled him back from the brink.
When we caught up, Bruce had just finished the first night of Motel 66, a collection of one-act plays, one of which he had directed, all set in motel courtyards along the historic Route 66.
