GIACOMO GIANNIOTTI + TIMOTHY CAULFIELD

On the Saturday February 1, 2025 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we’ll meet Giacomo Gianniotti. He starred for seven seasons as “Dr. Andrew DeLuca” on ABC’s hit drama Grey’s Anatomy and has worked with everyone from Shelley Winters and Susan Sarandon to Zoe Saldana and Dustin Hoffman. Born in Rome, but raised in Canada, he works in both Italian and English and recently played the lead role in Netflix’s Italian mini-series “Deceitful Love.” Today we talk about some of that, and the second season of his new show “Wild Cards,” which can be seen on CBC and CBC Gem.

He plays Cole Ellis, a demoted cop who arrests Max Mitchell, a transient con woman played by “Riverdale’s” Vanessa Mason. While in custody and being held at the station, she helps him solve another crime. The pair are offered an opportunity at redemption – Ellis a chance to get back his detective badge, and Max a chance to stay out of jail – they just have to pair up and work together.

Then we get to know Timothy Caulfield. He is a university professor who specializes in legal, policy and ethical issues in medical research, and is also a best-selling author of books like “Is Gwyneth Paltrow Wrong About Everything?: When Celebrity Culture and Science Clash.” He joins me later in the show to talk about his latest book “The Certainty Illusion: What You Don't Know and Why It Matters.”

It's a fascinating read that asks the question, “In a world where there is so much conflicting information about how we are supposed to live, what can we really know?”
