Mike Tyson

Mike Tyson is quite fond of his tiger friend in The Hangover.

In real life, he’s just as enamored with the big cats and he recently said during an interview that he’s owned several of them and curls up with them in bed just like many do with a kitty from the shelter.

Clive Standen knows what it means to be a tough guy.

He plays the fearless warrior Rollo on the History Channel’s drama Vikings.

Vikings may fight, raid and do other seemingly barbaric activities, but the one thing this Norse hero won’t do is whale.

In a PSA for the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, Standen explains why “Real Men Don’t Whale,” and regardless of what took place in ancient times, there’s no place for whaling today.

“I may play a merciless Viking on TV but there’s no place for such barbaric behavior in the 21st Century,” Standen says in the video. “Join me in making whaling ancient history once and for all.”

Alec Baldwin

Alec Baldwin is the host of a podcast series from WNYC called Here’s the Thing.

He regularly interviews entertainers, artists, policy makers and other movers and shakers in the industry, so an chat with Dan Mathews, vice-president for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, seems perfect for the station’s format.

The two discuss all of the standard issues PETA aims to cover, such as fur and animal testing, but when it comes down to getting the audience really interested, let’s face it–you have to talk about vegan desserts.

Mathews does get an occasional sweet tooth and can tell you exactly where to satisfy it.
