Ethan Suplee on Mallrats, Addiction, Recovery & Being a Work in Progress

Ethan Suplee is getting ready to reunite with the cast of Mallrats at Super Jersey Comic Expo — but our conversation goes far beyond the View Askewniverse. Ethan joins me to talk about the lasting bond between the Mallrats cast and Kevin Smith, why returning to a movie that is now more than 30 years old feels like no time has passed, and why he says there is essentially nothing he would ever say no to Kevin Smith about.

We also dive deeply into Ethan's journey with addiction, recovery, food, weight loss and self-worth. As the host of Lifelong , Ethan has created a space for honest conversations about health, addiction and recovery.

We discuss his recent conversation with Tyler Labine, the importance of vulnerability, and why his relationship with food required a different kind of recovery than his relationship with substances. Ethan also opens up about the death of his former Remember the Titans co-star Hayden Panettiere and how that loss brought back memories of his own struggles with addiction.

Most importantly, we talk about what it means to be a work in progress. This is one of those conversations that starts with Mallrats and ends somewhere much deeper.
