"This is a tracheotomy to help me breathe because the glands in my throat swelled up as well."
The actor has revealed he underwent a tracheotomy, chemotherapy and radiation while battling throat cancer.
When asked about what he misses the most about his old voice, he replied he misses having one.

I'm Your Huckleberry also divulges into Val's romantic history, a subject he has been very quiet about in the past.
"I'm committed. You have to be committed with a woman that's as dynamic and as committed to their work," he explained.
