Actress and activist Maria Bello will be hosting a fundraiser this Saturday, June 9, in support of the charity she co-founded, We Advance. We Advance is a non-profit organization based in the poorest slum in the Western Hemisphere - Cite Soleil, Haiti - and is geared toward advancing women socially, economically, and politically. The event, taking place at a private estate in Malibu is slated to share Haiti through Maria's eyes. The intimate event will feature special guest, Danny Moder, who will be sharing his photos, as well as special musical performances.

Today we are talking to an Emmy Award-winning actor perhaps most well-known for his title role in the iconic and ground-breaking millennial NBC sitcom hit, WILL & GRACE, who can now be seen eight times a week on Broadway playing a pivotal role in the starry revival of Gore Vidal's politically-themed satire, THE BEST MAN - the affable Eric McCormack. Shining a spotlight on his theatrical roots at the Straford Shakespeare Festival in Canada all the way up to his small-screen sensation in WILL & GRACE and, now, his forthcoming new dramatic series, PERCEPTION, McCormack illustrates all aspects of his career and generously offers his insights, observations and shares his lessons learned over the course of his near-thirty-year career onstage and onscreen. In addition to all of that, McCormack outlines his experiences sharing the stage with titanic talents such as James Earl Jones, Angela Lansbury, Candice Bergin and the rest of the ensemble of THE BEST MAN, as well as sharing his thoughts about the relevance and poignancy of the play today, more than a half decade after its premiere, and what it says about our society, then and now, in addition to expanding on the play's pertinent political themes and their exploration in the classic drama. Plus, McCormack clues us in on his own favorite plays and musicals, initial theatrical inspiration, his stint portraying the eponymous THE MUSIC MAN, future career plans and first news about his new TNT series, PERCEPTION - all of that and much, much more!

As first reported on Deadline.com, Maria Bello will be joining the cast of the new Fox drama series TOUCH.
