Our guest is Dedee Pfeiffer, television and film star who currently stars as Denise on ABC’s Big Sky, which is now in Season 3.

Dedee has been a series cast member since the show premiered and plays “Denise Brisbane” the office manager at Dewell & Hoyt Private Investigations, the focus of the show.

This role marks a return for Pfeiffer to TV after nearly a ten year absence. During that time, Pfeiffer stepped away from acting to return to school earning a Bachelor of Psychology, followed by a Masters of Social Work from UCLA with a concentration in mental health, addiction and homelessness.

She also worked to achieve her own sobriety and is now an activist for the recovery community. She’d be happy to discuss her work which influences her role on the show (last season a multiple episode story arc about a town member’s addiction and suicide played heavily into Denise’s storyline.)

I hope you enjoy our conversation about everything from rehab to various paths of recovery to discussing alien life forms and UFOs. In fact, Dedee talks about a famous costar with whom she enjoys trips to the desert to look for unexplained objects in the night sky.

If you are interested in the topic of addiction and recovery, you will appreciate the intelligent and insightful observations of Dedee Pfeiffer.
