Some guests make you feel something the moment they start talking. Emmanuelle Chriqui (pronounced eh-MAN-yoo-EL Shree-Kee) is exactly that kind of guest. You know her as Sloan from HBO's Entourage, the role that introduced her to the world and never really let go. You know her as Lana Lang from the CW's Superman and Lois. But this conversation goes somewhere deeper than a highlight reel. Adam and Emmanuelle talk about what it really means to love someone in the gray space, what producing her new film unlocked in her creatively, and what happens when the script disappears on set and something completely real takes over. She also opens up about standing up as a proud Jewish woman in the loudest, most divided moment of recent memory, and why she had no choice but to speak. Her new film A Love Like This, in which she stars alongside Hayes MacArthur and also produces, releases April 24th.

Emmanuelle is incredibly disarming, and the chemistry in this conversation is immediate. Like, by the end of it Adam is already pitching her and her boyfriend on a trip to Paso Robles wine country and she is saying yes. That kind of rapport. Do not sleep on this one.
