Award-winning Actor
and Mental Health Activist

Rochester
Riverside Convention Center
Director, producer, writer and Emmy award winning actor Joe
Pantoliano will speak at the 4th annual East House community
lecture and luncheon, "A Celebration of Hope and
Recovery." Mr. Pantoliano, who has an exceptional career
working as an actor, director, producer and writer, will speak
about his personal resolve to live with the effects of
clinical depression. East House’s Celebration of Hope &
Recovery Luncheon is an initiative to highlight the efforts of
those afflicted with mental illness and/or chemical dependency
issues as they live satisfying and productive lives.
Joe Pantoliano has appeared in over 90 films, 34 television
roles and numerous theatrical roles both on and off Broadway
since the 1970s. His most recognizable role was as mobster
Ralph Cifaretto in the acclaimed HBO series, The Sopranos,
for which he won an Emmy in 2003. He also appeared in The
Matrix, Memento, Risky Business, Bad Boys, The
Goonies, Daredevil, The Fugitive, Midnight Run
and Empire of the Sun.
Suffering from undiagnosed clinical depression since the
1990s, Joe was not diagnosed until 2006 was working on the
film, Canvas about a family dealing with mental
illness. His experience within that role motivated Joe to get
a diagnosis and come to terms with his depression. Rather than
hide his struggle, he decided to go public about it. In 2009,
he founded the non-profit organization, No Kidding, Me 2,
to foster awareness and education about mental illness by
uniting members of the entertainment industry to speak out
about the stigma associated with these disorders. His second
book, to be released in March of 2012, Asylum, is an
unflinchingly honest memoir about his personal experience with
the complexities of mental illness.
