Coming soon to TV CONFIDENTIAL: Academy Award-winning and Golden Globe Award-winning actor GEORGE CHAKIRIS on the back story of WEST SIDE STORY, and some of the subtle differences between the classic 1961 movie and the original stage production; working alongside the incomparable Elaine Stritch in the national stage production of COMPANY; co-starring with Barbara Carrera in the “dream season” of DALLAS; what sparked his interest in designing jewelry; and the importance of trusting your instincts, no matter what you do in life. George’s memoir, MY WEST SIDE STORY, is now available in hardcover and as an eBook through Lyons Press

Coming soon to TV CONFIDENTIAL: Actor, author, playwright, and painter RAYMOND J. BARRY on the generosity of Robert Duvall when they worked together in Falling Down; how his mother, painter Barbara Constance Barry, cultivated Ray’s artistic talent when he was a boy (and how Ray reciprocated that many years later, when he introduced his mom to a career in acting); and why it’s never too late to reinvent ourselves, no matter what our age. Ray stars as Harry Byrd in FREE BYRD, an offbeat road comedy/buddy movie that also has a lot to say about what it truly means to live. FREE BYRD becomes available for viewing on demand on all major streaming platforms beginning Thursday 4/1
