Luke Goss -- Our First Celebrity Contact!

Actor Luke Goss is now following us on Twitter!  Yes, we are totally excited!  You may know Luke from his roles in Hellboy II -- The Golden Army, Death Race 2 and 3, Blade 2, and more.  He is a versatile actor whose dedication to authenticity and depth are evident in the roles he plays.  I especially liked his portrayal of the lead character in Interview with a Hitman; his performance brings forth a sense of compassion for this person so that while you don't like the deeds he does (he's a killer, after all), you certainly understand why he ended up in this life and hope for his conversion.  Plenty of blood and death in this movie, but it's a character story at heart and Luke pulls it off very well.

In addition to being an accomplished actor and musician (he and his brother, Matt Goss had a band called Bros together in the 1980's -- check out their videos on YouTube and be enthralled by Luke's proficiency on the drums!), Luke is our very first celebrity/high profile Twitter follower.  How cool is that?  Raising awareness means getting the attention of as many people as you can, in as many walks of life as you can.  The fact that this actor, as busy as he is (10 projects in the works for this year and next, according to his imdb profile) and with as many people vying for his attention as he undoubtedly has, noticed us and actually took the time to follow our Twitter feed just blows me away!  How big is his heart that he cares this much about our little rare disease community and wants to know more about our fight for awareness?  I'm thinking it is ginormous.  :)

I want to personally encourage you to check out this actor and support his work.  Luke Goss is going places, and we are absolutely grateful that he's invited us along for the ride.  Take a look at his Twitter profile so you can follow his career, get firsthand news about what's coming up, and go see him in action.  What?  Firsthand?  Yes!  Go visit his Facebook page and Like it, and if you do please let him know that we sent you! 

Mr. Goss, if you're reading this, please let us say THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for your support and your interest in IH awareness.  You rock!
