Wil Wheaton, who probably is sick as all hell of being described as “the kid from ST:TNG,” has a fascinating reality series about board games on the Geek & Sundry YouTube channel.

Writing ‘Forces You To Think Through Things’ Ethan Hawke

TVWriter™ Contributing Editor Emeritus Herbie J Pilato has inked deals to pen biographies of legendary actors Sean Connery and Diana Rigg, and a combined book about the equally iconic producers/directors George Lucas and Steven Spielberg and their blockbusting influence in Hollywood and with movie-going audiences around the world.
Repped by the Lee Sobel Literary Agency and attorney Gregory Tanner of the Tanner Firm, Pilato is the author of the critically-acclaimed, top-selling celebrity bios Twitch Upon a Star: The Bewitched Life and Career of Elizabeth
Montgomery, and Mary: The Mary Tyler Moore Story, among several other
successful media tie-in tomes.
