Alicia Silverstone (Irish Blood, Bugonia, Clueless) is an award-winning actress, writer, and activist. Alicia joins the Armchair Expert to discuss her incidence of disassociation when remembering entertainment business adjacent meetings, how her mom was a proto-environmentalist without even knowing it, and connecting to the deep, juicy inner lives of older teenagers in her first acting class. Alicia and Dax talk about how she truly could not have been more dissimilar to Cher Horowitz as a person, learning how to use that the funniest element about her was how seriously she took things, and the incredible working relationship she cultivated with Benicio del Toro. Alicia explains her understanding over time that there are some things that are just yours, writing her book The Kind Diet and why becoming vegan helped her feel like she could solve several problems at once, and returning to theater after a hiatus to fall back in love with acting.
