My One Degree of Separation From Kevin Bacon (VIDEO)

On Wednesday, while all decked out in my Penn hat and sweatshirt, I had the awesome opportunity of meeting the Bacon Brothers: Kevin Bacon and his brother Michael Bacon while I was in NY visiting the SoHo Esquire House!

As you'll see in the video above, Kevin and Michael told me that on December 5, the Philly native Bacon Brothers will be headlining a benefit concert at the Electric Factory in Philly to raise money for the Mummers to preserve the tradition of their annual parade.

At the event, the brothers will be singing 'New Year's Day,' a song they recorded along with 20+ Mummers.

This Real Life Doctor Is "Acting" as a Doctor on TV Again (VIDEOS)

Did you catch doctor-turned-actor Roy Vongtama (C'96) on last Thursday's "Private Practice"? Yes, another alum associated with ABC/Disney.

Speaking of "Private Practice", remember when actress Kate Walsh came to Penn for the Obama campaign? (Videos HERE)

In last week's episode, Roy plays a top notch psychiatrist. Roy tells me that his part is potentially recurring so stay stay tuned!

On another note, Roy has just started his own production company called Resonant Entertainment and he filmed his first project that is currently being sent to film festivals all over the world, called Juche Rules. The film tells the story of an American reporter in dangerous North Korea who comes face to face with the imposing and strange culture which is the modern day reality of the besieged nation.

Check out the trailer below:
