“It’s an honor that all these famous names are contributing their talents to this festival,” Pollack told us in a recent interview (which you can read in full here). “The Actors Fund has done a lot for many actors in the community, and I’m so glad that some of the biggest names in TV, film and Broadway are giving up their time and talent to support not only a worthy cause, but new writers and new voices.”
