Yes, he is all that! Thanks for your sweet comments. And stay tuned for Bruce in The River, ABC's replacement for "Lost," which is filming this year: I was trying to post a link to the trailer but youtube won't let me, but if you put "The River ABC Network" in the youtube search engine it comes up.

@iSwayzak He is : )

He'd better be vegetarian, otherwise his words have no meaning to me.

He was brilliant in the NOWHERE MAN show.

It's OK, I will say the name of the book for you......

It's called Thanking the Monkey. Run don't walk everyone to your nearest book store and pick up your copy today.

Excellent endorsement!

BTW, although it was quite bizarre I really enjoyed John From Cincinnati, but that's besides the point.... :-)
