FAIRFIELD, CT, US, November 1, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- One of Chris Sarandon’s most memorable starring roles was playing Jerry Dandridge, the vampire neighbor in the popular movie ‘Fright Night.’ For Halloween, Chris has released 3 special episodes featuring his ‘Fright Night’ co-stars William Ragsdale, Amanda Bearse, and Jonathan Stark.
Ragsdale brings us to his childhood and his close-knit family’s culinary habits. He also describes luscious southern church dinners. His love of performing culminated years later in his lead role in the cult favorite, “Fright Night,” as well as starring roles on network TV sitcoms.
Amanda Bearse describes her upbringing in a town near Orlando, Florida, and her family’s foray into their vacation farm’s garden fresh food. Bearse also talks about her coming out to her religious mother, her public reveal as a lesbian at the height of her career, and her subsequent LGBTQ activism.
Jonathan Stark reveals details of his upbringing in Erie, PA, with elaborate Thanksgiving dinners and desserts. He discusses his entry into improv in The Groundlings which led to his being cast in “Fright Night.” A spec script began his sitcom writing career that includes an Emmy Award and the creation of his own sitcom.
Earlier in October Sarandon launched his ‘Cooking By Heart’ podcastby dropping the first three episodes, featuring his guests Tom Holland (writer/director of ‘Fright Night’), best-selling novelist Adriana Trigiani (‘The Shoemaker’s Wife’) and Michael Patrick King, the Emmy-winning TV writer/director/producer (‘Sex and the City’).

About ‘Cooking By Heart’
Chris Sarandon said, "I grew up working in my immigrant father's All American restaurant and as a helper at home with my mother's Greek cooking. That personal history provides the theme for many of the main, vivid stories of my early life. So, I'm interested in the stories behind the food we all grew up with, the characters and situations that have played such important roles in our lives, the memories that are evoked when we eat something now that takes us back, the smells, the tastes and the people who were there. I hope our listeners will enjoy these stories, the guests and their memories--and all the great recipes!"
Chris has created this podcast out of his passion for family, friends and food. In addition to the conversation, each celebrity guest shares one of their favorite recipes for all the listeners!
