Renegade Reporting: Backstage with Ed Asner

From the moment I stepped foot in the Pasadena Playhouse, I knew I was in a for a treat. It was Election Night of 2010 in Los Angeles, the city of some of the most heated debates in the nation.

However, all the political hoopla was placed aside as soon as I sat down to view Ed Asner's spectacular display of FDR. His portray not only brought me back in time, but cemented myself in the reality of today. Many of FDR's presidential struggles are still prevalent today. Whether it was, economic woes, conflicting parties, or America's positioning during a time of war. Asner's portrayal showed the true excellence behind FDR's commitment to make the United States a better nation for our children.

It was no surprise that another brilliant artist in his own right, Ed Harris, was there in support of a fellow lifelong thespian. The experience was both informational and entertaining, often a tough cookie to crack, but Asner smashed it...with authority.

Here's an exclusive report with Ed. You have till November 7th to see this masterpiece at the Pasadena Playhouse. You won't be disappointed!

Renegade Reporting at OOA Peace & Justice Banquet at Paul Haggis House w/Ed Asner, Oliver Stone, Maxine Waters, and Kris Kristofferson

Stephen Seidel and Renegade Reporting were in attendance at a private party at Paul and Deborah Haggis' house honoring peace activists Ed Asner and Danny Glover for Office of the America's Peace and Justice Awards. The event was hosted by Mimi Kennedy and Shae Popovich and run by several volunteers such as Sharon Jimenez, Sean Moran, Lois Davis, Frank Dorrel, Theresa and Blase Bonpane, myself, and many more kind souls. 

Kris Kristofferson was there to share his wonderful songs, as well as KB Solomon, and the OOA Songsters. Maxine Waters accepted on behalf of Danny Glover and shared some of her recent efforts. Ron Kovic and Oliver Stone also donated both their time and money towards the cause.

Here's a sneak peek into a few photos with the man from behind the camera, Stephen Seidel. Thanks so much to Bob Jimenez for his talented photography skills. 

Please contact me if you'd like more footage from the event. Kris sang 3 songs, Ed Asner nailed his thank you speech, KB Solomon was a force, Blase Bonpane shared his wisdom and many more guests were there in support. 

Blase and Theresa Bonpane, founders of OOA are stepping down from fundraising events to focus more on outreach. Any future volunteer or support can be directed towards the website: www.officeoftheamericas.org
