Global Superstars Demand End to Animal Mistreatment - I am very proud to join a powerful group of artists, activists and conservationists in demanding an end to bear bile farming in Vietnam.  It was an honor to join Ricky Gervais, Dame Judi Dench, Joaquin Phoenix, Olivia Newton-John, Tzi Ma, pop star Mya, renowned conservationist Jane Goodall and my beloved "True Blood" co-stars Kristin Bauer and Michelle Forbes in coming together to call for a reset of humanity's relationship with nature in the wake of the Covid-19 crisis and its zoonotic origins.  

Today, August 8th is Moon Bear Day.  This day was created to mark the anniversary of the founding of Animals Asia and create an opportunity to bring attention to the plight of the Asiatic black bear, or "moon bear", and to further Animals Asia's work to end bear bile farming.  The more global awareness, the more rescues and rehabilitation.  If you are interested in learning more about the incredible work being done by Animals Asia, their bear sanctuary or how they are positively changing legislation in Vietnam, join the campaign here THE ONLY CURE IS KINDNESS

The Only Cure Is Kindness - WIth great enthusiasm I got behind this campaign because I despise animal cruelty.  We must demand an end to animal mistreatment for our collective health and humanity.  Animals Asia is doing incredibly important work rescuing and rehabilitating moon bears and they need our help.  Please join me with your support.  To purchase t-shirt or other merchandise visit the online store THE ONLY CURE IS KINDNESS

​Oscars week is always filled with wonderful gatherings and this year was no exception.  I had the pleasure of attending Cadillac's Pre-Oscar Party at The Chateau Marmont again this year.  It's always my favorite party and it's a great opportunity to celebrate the year's excellent films and nominees.  I'm also really happy to see that the Academy continues to make strides in recognizing diversity and celebrating the strong work by women and minorities in this years collection of top shelf films.  We still have a long way to go but I'm proud to be part of an industry that is taking bold steps to lead in the fight for workplace equality and inclusion.
