Regular readers know that my book, Character Kings: Hollywood's Familiar Faces Discuss the Art & Business of Acting, has just been published. Next week, I'll be flying to Los Angeles for my first-ever book signing. But I won't be alone...

Joining me will be six of Hollywood's finest character actors that are featured in the book: James Karen (Return of the Living Dead, Wall Street); Martin Kove (the Karate Kid trilogy); William Sanderson (Newhart, True Blood); Daniel Roebuck (Lost, River's Edge); Peter Jason (48 HRS., They Live); and Art LaFleur (The Santa Clause 2 & 3, Field of Dreams).

The signing will be at Dark Delicacies in Burbank, CA on Nov. 14th at 2pm. If you're a movie or TV fan, this will be a great chance to meet and get an autograph from some of the best character actors in the business. If you can't make the event but would like to get a signed copy, go to www.darkdel.com to place an order.

And I'll be there, too. I might have written the book, but these guys made it possible. I'm honored to be in such great company, and I hope you can come out for a great day to shake hands and talk with the unsung heroes of Hollywood.
