EPISODE 110: FROM SALZBURG TO SPIDERMAN
My guest today is someone I’ve known for most of my life—Nicholas Hammond. Of course, the world knows him as Friedrich von Trapp in The Sound of Music, but to me, he’s always been Nicky. The Sound of Music was just one chapter in a fascinating life. He went on to become television’s first live-action Spider-Man and built an extraordinary career in film, television, theater, and writing. Along the way, he traveled the world, made Australia his home, and even managed to acquire a few sheep!
Nicky has always had a wonderful sense of humor, an adventurous spirit, and an endless curiosity about life. He’s a storyteller, a creative soul, and someone who has absolutely no intention of slowing down. In fact, he told me he plans to keep working until the day he steps off the planet. And knowing Nicky, I wouldn't expect anything less. So today, we’re going to catch up, share some memories, and wander through a life that has taken him in some wonderfully unexpected directions.
