THE SHOW
Eric McCormack – Traveller
Given the many choices on TV, you may have missed Eric McCormack in Lonesome Dove or Andromeda Strain, Trust me, Perception or Full Circle. However, it’s fair to say that none of us missed his starring role for 8 years as Will Truman in Will and Grace. Here was a series so fresh, like a wild drum solo..you didn’t know where it was headed until the lines were delivered by a killer cast.
Eric McCormack – Travellers
Eric has moved on to many new roles. His latest ‘Travellers’ is shooting in Vancouver for Showcase/Netflicks with a air date debut of October 17th at 9PM.
I initially asked him to join me at the studios of Roundhouse Radio to talk about Travellers, Will and Grace, his one man show fundraising for Cancer Research and because he knows his wines..and yes because he’s a great guy who’s funny as hell and makes me/us laugh.
But when I saw that Sommelier Pam Cohen from Marquis Wine Cellars was doing another Savvy Series on Rose..I decided to put them together.
Because Pam really knows her wines and because Rose has presented a image problem for some “men” who don’t want to be seen with pink in their glass.
Thus, a manly man was needed to step forward and Drink the Pink. Be the Guy. Enter Eric McCormack..known for years now as the gayest man on TV- Will Truman.
FYI – He’s a great Dad and Husband, a pal to your host and well versed on his wines.
Eric McCormack – The concert I never gave
Eric and I carry on after the Rose has been tasted..one-on-one. Man to Man. Revealing everything ..and nothing.
