The Primary Instinct

The Primary Instinct

Actor Stephen Tobolowsky has acted in over 200 TV shows and films over the past 40 years, possessing one of the most dazzlingly diverse filmographies on the planet. But even more compelling than the stories he's been a part of onscreen are those he tells offscreen.
