Nicollette Sheridan and Scott Sedita

Industry Honors Acting Coach

More than 100 industry executives and celebrities gathered at the Museum of Radio and Television to celebrate the launch of a ground-breaking new book entitled "The Eight Characters of Comedy" on Tuesday, October 25, 2005. Scott Sedita, Hollywood acting coach and Sitcom Guru (he helped launched the careers of actors including Josh Duhamel, Jennifer Finnigan, Brandon Routh, etc.) treated guests to gourmet hors d’oevres and a selection of premiere wines.

"What I love most about Scott's book is the fact that these eight can be found in any life situation - the office, your family - even the White House!," said Emmy award-winning TV director Mary Lou Belli.

Sedita's breakdown of the eight characters are: the neurotic, the bitch/bastard, the womanizer/manizer, the loveable loser, the logical smart one, the materialstic one, the dumb one and the one who lives in his own universe.

"Well, according to Scott, I guess my character's the Bitch!" said Kate Linder ('Esther Valentine' on 'Young & the Restless"). More than 98 books were purchased. Sedita will soon embark upon a national radio campaign. www.SitcomActing.com
