**New York, NY** – Veteran actor Ted Danson is stepping into a new role, not just on screen, but in his personal advocacy. He’s starring in the new Netflix series “A Man on the Inside,” based on the 2020 documentary “The Mole Agent,” which follows an 83-year-old undercover investigator in a Chilean nursing home.
Danson admits to feeling nervous about the project, explaining that he wants audiences to see it because he feels it’s an “important conversation.” He highlights the series’ focus on aging, a topic often avoided or even stigmatized.
“If you’re dying, you somehow made a mistake,” Danson says, referencing a common societal perception. “You screwed up! You got old, you know?”
The actor, at 76 himself, embraces a philosophy of “keeping the gas pedal down” inspired by Jane Fonda, and encourages viewers to “keep going, keep living your life” right up until the end.
“A Man on the Inside” explores themes of life, loss, and finding miracles even in the face of challenges. Danson reflects on his own life, highlighting the importance of love, emphasizing that “to love somebody and to be loved, is just one of those heaven-on-earth miracles.”
The series, according to Danson, serves as a reminder that life is a gift to be embraced, even with its hardships. He urges viewers to “explore it, and be excited about it,” urging them to embrace life’s challenges and joys with a “this is your life” attitude.
“A Man on the Inside” premieres on Netflix [date to be added].
