Jimmy Wolk Goes Big Time!

Sunday, September 12th, 2010

Check out Jimmy Wolk in the New Fox-TV Show Titled LONE STAR!
Click here to see a preview of the show LONE STAR.

Ok friends, it is going to start getting a little weird.  First, Jimmy Wolk played me as a teacher who over the came challenge of Tourette syndrome in Front of the Class.  Now Jimmy will take on another challenge of how to kept two lives and two ladies at the same time.  Right away, you’ll see that his new role is nothing like my life.  As he enjoys being with two woman, I had enough trouble hanging on to one.  He lives in Texas, I don’t like the Cowboys or cowboy boots.  He is a con man, I’m just a teacher. He’s hanging up on billboards across America, I’m just hanging around the house with Dylan and Nancy.

If you enjoyed Jimmy Wolk in Front of the Class, you might want to catch his new TV show, LONE STAR on FOX-TV Monday nights at 9:00 pm/EST after the show HOUSE. Starts Monday, September 20th. Going by his new official name of James Wolk, he takes on the role of a charming Texas man who lives two lives in two different parts of Texas. He juggles two identities and two women in two different worlds – all under one mountain of lies as a con man. Joining him in LONE STAR are John Voight, Adrianne Palicki, Eloise Mumford and David Keith.

Jimmy is on the Board of Directors for the Brad Cohen Tourette Foundation. We couldn’t be happier for all of his success!

Check out Jimmy Wolk  in YOU AGAIN!

Jimmy Wolk just happens to also be starring in the film, You AGAIN, hitting movie theaters on Friday, September 24th. He plays the boyfriend with an amazing cast of Betty White, Jamie Lee Curtis, Sigourney Weaver, Kristen Bell, Odette Yustman, Kristin Chenoweth and more.
Learn more by clicking here to see a preview of the movie, YOU AGAIN.

It is going to be fun to watch how Jimmy does in the future.  To think that he got his big break taking on the role of me reminds us all that if you have a dream, always try to follow that dream much like Jimmy has been able to do in the acting business.

I think a lot of people will be rooting for my friend Jimmy!

Cheers, Brad

BCTF_Logo_120209THE LAUNCH OF THE BRAD COHEN TOURETTE FOUNDATION, INC.
http://classperformance.com/foundation
Now accepting donations!

It’s official, The Brad Cohen Tourette Foundation, Inc. (BCTF) is up and running. I’m honored to announce that my Foundation has been established as a non-profit 501(c)(3). Donations can me made and they will be tax deductible.

The mission of the Foundation is to help those with Tourette syndrome follow their dreams to be successful in life. I have my own vision of where I’d like to see things go over the years, but for now I’d like to focus on raising money to help children with TS so they can go to camps like Camp Twitch and Shout. I don’t want to see one person denied from camp because of financial reasons. Camp scholarships will provide a way for children to attend these types of camps. My ultimate goal is to make camp a free for all children.

This is where you can help me challenge perceptions and embrace differences! Donate now to help me with this initiative!

Visit my temporary Foundation website at:
www.classperformance.com/foundation/

or

www.bradcohentourettefoundation.com

Choose a donor level that best fits your needs. You may donate online and a tax receipt will be sent to you via email directly after the transaction, or feel free to send a check to the address listed on the website.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?
As the Foundation begins to grow, we are looking for some addition help with 1) Website design and development, 2) Grant opportunities, 3) Newsletter development, 4) Fund-raising ideas and helpers to organize, 5) Database development 6) Other ideas you have that could help us out. Please Share!

I have set my goals high and I know with your support the BCTF will make a difference. I’m really excited about this new project with the Foundation. As always, I appreciate all the support from my family, friends and those of you who believe in my story.

Look us up on Facebook too! Search for the group Brad Cohen Tourette Foundation, Inc. Help me spread the word! As always, thanks in advance for your support!

Cheers, Brad
