Sean Astin on why he feels like he’s friends with anyone who’s ever seen any of his movies.
Many years ago I got to be in The Guild, playing me. I loved it and I loved being directed by Felicia Day (ie @thisfeliciaday). Last year she asked me if I'd be in an audio comedy she was writing and I said I'd love to.
And then she sent me the scripts and I got even more excited. They are funny and smart and skewer (with love) all the conventions of twenty first century fantasy.
The experience of recording it was incredibly enjoyable. I play the narrator. (I may be playing a version of Neil Gaiman who is the narrator.) Whoever the narrator is, he is having much too much fun. I cannot wait to hear the whole thing and not just my bits.
It's called Third Eye and it will be on Audible and Wil Wheaton (aka @wilwheaton) is in it too. So is Felicia. So are... Well, best to click on the variety link above and see for yourself.
Sean Astin also stars as Frank, a cranky vampire with a bald spot!

Sean Astin’s family has a long history of union activism. His parents, Patty Duke and John Astin, attended a Writers Guild of America strike in 1973. Brother Mackenzie Astin was also present in utero!
Note: despite speculation to the contrary, Sean’s biological father was Michael Tell, to whom Patty was briefly married in 1970.

A little recap of yesterday at FanExpo Philly:
- Met Hayden Christensen
- He has the softest sweetest voice ever
- He rubbed my back during our photo op🫠
- Met Sean Astin and he gave the ultimate dad energy and was the sweetest human ever.
- He signed a photo of Doug (his character in 50 first dates)
- He remember me and my roommate from our autograph session when we did our photo op
- He said “be good” as we left the photo op and if that’s not the most dad thing ever idk what is🥹
- Met Grace for an autograph and joking asked her to sign over Eddie’s face and she said “no I’ve never done that and I won’t do that ever Joe is a sweetheart” so she drew a heart over his face instead.
It’s hard to tell who, is more adorable, Sean Astin or Tara Strong!

Sean Astin is a literal legend and we must stan him. (Not to mention he was one of the many that asked when Raph will get a girlfriend lmao- love the man a lot and he has my respect)
I remember during the comic con where they announced that Mona Lisa will be coming into the show, Sean made a comment asking the producers if he can “finally talk about it because (he) has been wanting to talk about it” for a while meaning Sean was so hyped when learning that Raph would finally be getting a girlfriend after years of begging the writers to make it happen XD
Sean Astin starred with Sarah Drew three years ago in this delightful Twilight Zone-esque short film that showed you COULD make movies while on lockdown!
Sean Astin writes on Twitter:
Today, my eldest Ali graduated with a Masters Degree in Dramatic Arts (& Anthropology) from Harvard University, where she also did her undergrad work.
She won the Deans Prize for Outstanding Thesis in the Humanities attached here for your reading enjoyment. 😁
She has the receipts & she blows my mind.
#ProudestFatherEver
I ❤️ you Ali Astin!!!
