Through June 10, 2007 - Various Cities
Mike Farrell - "Just Call Me Mike: A Journey to Actor and Activist" Book Signings
Mike Farrell's success as an actor belies his humble nature; he's never really been a seeker of the limelight. His fascinating journey as an activist, however, is a true testament to Mike's inherent desire to be a responsible citizen of the world. A self-described idealist, Mike's obstinate optimism seems untainted by his experiences inside some of the most brutal conflicts of our time. In the book, Mike details first-hand accounts from inside Cambodia, El Salvador, Somalia, Bosnia, Rwanda and the Gaza Strip, as well as from inside America's own prisons. From his contributions to the entertainment industry as a beloved actor, writer and producer, to his earnest commitments to abolish the death penalty as President of Death Penalty Focus, advocate for human rights and champion of environmental causes, Mike has been engaging the world with his talent and intelligence for over 40 years. Given that so many of us have, for so long, been nudging him to write this book, it only seems appropriate that we give the book tour a proper launch.
