He's a famous Hollywood star, but a real down to Earth guy-so down to Earth that he is devoting his life to saving the one planet we call home. Begley appeared in Annapolis recently as a guest of the Historic Annapolis Fdn. and I was fortunate enough to interview him before his lecture to a packed audience at the Westin.
His philosophy is "live simply so that others may simply live" although I've heard that quote long before I heard of Ed Begley. Regardless of who said it first, it is the credo by which he lives and his mission is to turn us all on to the benefits and joys of living the most environmentally sustainable or "greenest" lifestyle possible.
