As a kid, Jason Ritter felt a lot of pressure as the son of a beloved actor who audiences felt like they knew personally. He didn\u2019t feel pressure from his parents, but rather pressure from the world, believing he had to live up to being John Ritter\u2019s son. Jason talks with Marc about how that insecurity, as well as his struggle to find his own identity, led directly to an acting career but also caused him mask his emotions with alcohol. They also talk about the limits of research, Matlock, and Jason\u2019s wife Melanie Lynskey.
