Petrocelli book being researched


My publisher asked me to write a book about my all-time favorite lawyer show, Petrocelli, and I'm happy to oblige. Right now, I'm watching every episode and taking copious notes so the book can include an episode guide, along with interviews of the major stars - Barry Newman and Susan Howard, of course, and maybe David Huddleston, too, if I can get hold of the man. Anyone know where he is?

Sadly, David Huddleston passed away a couple of months ago, aged 85.

There is another semi-regular on the series that you could possibly interview...Ken Swofford, who played the other cop on the series, Lt. Clifford. He's been retired from acting for some time now, but to the best of my knowledge, he's still alive.

Thank you, Elvimark. So sorry about Mr. Huddleston, but will see about Mr. Swofford.

Hi. You may want to check (if you haven't already) a biography of Albert Salmi.
