Why He Panics When He Sees 1111 on a Clock (Exclusive): One Last Thing with Hotel Cocaine’s Mark Feuerstein

Mark Feuerstein admits that he often takes a little time out of his day to indulge in a superstition.

"Whenever I catch the clock on my phone saying 11:11, I kiss it and make as many wishes as I can before it turns to 11:12," the actor, 52, tells PEOPLE. "It’s a panicked litany of prayers for my family, my friends and myself."

He even takes it one step further. "And if I actually catch the clock change from 11:11 to 11:12 the wishes are nullified. It’s a precarious and delicate superstition," he explains.

Feuerstein, who stars in the MGM+ series Hotel Cocaine and the upcoming AppleTV+ limited series Lady in the Lake, chatted with PEOPLE for One Last Thing:
