Several actors shared profound personal revelations. Fernando Tejero, known for his roles in Aquí no hay quien viva and El cautivo, discussed his difficult childhood. He revealed that he was a baby whose mother left him in the care of another woman for 14 years, admitting he had "todas las papeletas para acabar yonqui o alcohólico" (all the tickets to end up a junkie or alcoholic).

Meanwhile, Luis Tosar spoke about the challenges of his profession, noting that "La gente que vive contigo no tiene por qué comerse el marrón de que tú estés transitando por lugares oscuros" (People who live with you don't have to deal with the mess of you going through dark places).

Established stars offered perspectives on longevity and fame. Richard Gere discussed his career and activism from his Madrid home, stating, "Nunca me he sentido una estrella, para mí la fama es algo vacío" (I have never felt like a star, for me fame is something empty). He emphasized his belief in goodness as a revolutionary act.

Veteran actor Miguel Rellán provided wisdom on aging in the fourth episode of the Tercer Acto podcast. He reflected that "Hay muchos señores con 90 años que han pasado por la vida, pero la vida no ha pasado por ellos" (There are many 90-year-old men who have gone through life, but life has not gone through them), emphasizing the importance of seizing opportunities.

Journalist María Escario spoke about her retirement and health challenges, including a cancer diagnosis discovered through public health screening.
