Is it OK to brag about a kid who's not your own? If so, please let me tell about our friend, Eric Christian Olsen.
Eric, son of our longest and closest friends Paul and Jeanne Olsen, has earned a role as a regular cast member of the NBC series, "NCIS-LA." The show begins its new season with a two-hour program tomorrow night, Tuesday the 21st. We saw on some list last year that "NCIS-LA" was ranked in the top 10 TV programs, and an even more important accolade, John Farwell says it's a good show.
John and Eric's dad Paul were colleagues for about 40 years, and Eric went to school in Bettendorf IA where I taught, so we had plenty of opportunity to watch him grow up, and have followed his Hollywood path over the years. He's a charming and personable Midwest boy, and it's been a pleasure to watch him succeed.
So, if you are a watcher of "cop" shows, maybe you will tune in to see what you think of Eric in "NCIS-LA" on Tuesday night. Thanks for letting me share our excitement. (Bet I'm the only place among Eric's hits on the web that calls him a boy.)
