Nightmare Weekend is coming to Chicago May 2-4. I will be "On the Beat" all weekend meeting celebrities and other creators.
One of the celebrities appearing is actor Barry Bostwick. His first major role was in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, but he has a lengthy resume besides that.
Bostwick starred as New York Mayor Winston on tv's Spin City, one of my favorite sitcoms. It also starred Michael J. Fox, Richard Kind, Alan Ruck and others. It had a great ensemble cast. Unfortunately, when Fox left due to Parkinson's Disease and was replaced by Charlie Sheen, the show lost its appeal to me. No offense to Sheen, but it wasn't the same. Anyway, Bostwick was brilliant in his role.
Having met him last year, I know Bostwick, 81, still looks and sounds great. I always look forward to seeing him. He is a class act and a really nice guy. I will always remember him comparing his hair to mine several years ago, which became a running gag.
Bostwick is just one of many stars in the celebrity lineup at Nightmare Weekend. Go to galaxycon.com for more info and scheduling.
