After decades in Hollywood, Paul Adelstein still isn't sure he's made it. And maybe that's part of what's kept him going.
This week on **The Back 9**, the star of *Private Practice*, *Prison Break*, *Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce* and *The Audacity* joins us to talk about his unlikely start in Chicago theater, his big break with John Cusack, and the experience of growing older in an industry where the roles change right along with you. And how did his high school class manage to produce four successful Hollywood actors, including one who became a major star?
Along the way, Paul shares stories of old friends, famous collaborators, divorce, fatherhood and what it means to keep challenging yourself creatively.
For Paul, success isn't necessarily a role, a paycheck or a particular milestone. It's doing meaningful work with people he respects and staying excited about what might come next. Not a bad way to approach the Back 9.
