My worst moment: Tony Shalhoub became Mr. Invisible at an audition

Tony Shalhoub attends Prime Video's "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" Season 5 premiere at The Standard Highline on April 11, 2023, in New York City.

An Emmy-winner several times over, Tony Shalhoub has played distinctive, memorable characters throughout each decade of his screen career, from the ‘90s sitcom “Wings” to the title role in the early 2000s favorite “Monk” to, more recently, the patriarch on Amazon’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” He currently stars in the new movie “Flamin’ Hot,” as Roger Enrico, the CEO who oversaw the launch of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos.

“I liked the fact that he was all about wanting input from all of his employees and tapping into their resourcefulness,” said Shaloub. “In the corporate world, there tends to be an unspoken but very tightly-knit hierarchy built in. And he just had a different approach to the whole thing.” Is Shaloub a snack food guy? “I never say never. I try to be good and I try to eat healthier snacks, but every once in a while I’ll go nuts.”
