Jay Ellis' imaginary friend, and oiling up for Top Gun | The Sackhoff Show

You know Jay Ellis from Top Gun, Insecure and Somebody I Used To Know, but he's also one of the hardest working men in Hollywood, and now also an author! We talk about Jay's imaginary friend (which is the subject of his book), working with Tom Cruise, and the iconic football scene in Top Gun: Maverick, and how they managed to make all the actors look so... oily.
