Who is Irving Podolsky?
He's a guy who doesn't like his name. Which is why that isn't my name outside my ODYSSEY & JOURNEY. But do you really have to know who my other self is? Isn't it fun keeping that dude a mystery? No? Okay, I'll give you some hints.
If you searched my real name, you'd find me laced through 23 consecutive pages of Google. I've earned nineteen nominations and awards, including two Emmys. I am a member of the Executive Board within my category branch of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, and I've worked on every studio lot in Los Angeles, in television and feature films.

Where does Irv Live?

I reside in an old house in a quaint neighborhood in Southern California. I love old drums and antiques. Consequently I have many. My wife collects and sells them. (Not drums, furniture.) I also enjoy fast sports cars so I own two. The second is on its way to becoming vintage, which you might apply to me. But Like Peter Pan, I refuse to grow old, and accordingly, Irv won't either. Irving is perpetually twenty-five. So when the lad needs advice, he asks his alter ego. That's me, the creator of his thoughts.
What's Old?

I love playing the drums, so I have twenty-two of them. Remember? They're "old" like me. But classic. Yep, I definitely like old things. But as I said, I don't feel old. Which is why, I DO like big flat-screen TV's, and 2.93 GHZ duel core computers, and iPods, and iPads. I'm a Mac guy: a double monitor Mac guy. 'Cause you can never have enough screen real estate, or memory, or net surfing time!
The Secret is Out

I'm gonna confess something else here. I feed the raccoons who visit me nightly at my back door. They're so cute I can't help it. And I've trained'em to beg. And they've trained me to fetch...kiddy kibble...which I feed to them, from my hand. I can pet the babies too. Did ya know raccoons feel really clean? Like super clean? And they are NOT vicious at all. They've gotten a serious bad rap.
Figure me out yet? No? Here's another hint. I really don't talk like this in real life. I talk, like, "regular adult style," which isn't quite as much fun as being Irv.
