i received this from a friend today....the subject line was: don't you know this guy?


"MEN IN TREES (ABC) - Abraham Benrubi (Jerry Markovic on "ER") is the latest addition to the drama pilot, about a shrink (Anne Heche) who moves to Elmo, Alaska after her husband cheats on her only to find herself surrounded by available men. He'll play the owner of the town bar in the Warner Bros. Television-based project, which comes from creator Jenny Bicks, director James Mangold and fellow executive producer Cathy Konrad. Emily Bergl, Derek Richardson and James Tupper also star."

well, yes. Abe is the son of Asher, an old workmate. I think he was 14 or 15 when I first met him, and determined to be an actor. His folks agreed to let him go to LA for a year before college. If i remember correctly, he was given a year to give it a try...and quckly found work (and lots of it!).

Good on ya, Abe!
