Battlestar Galactica Star Edward James Olmos Gets the Star Treatment in New Book About His Life

WILKES-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA, (NAMC) Mar 2, 2005 - Emmy and Golden Globe winner Edward James Olmos, star of Battlestar Galactica, is the subject of a new book to be released by Kallisti Publishing. The book Walk, Don't Run, by Steven "Rusty" Johnson chronicles the life and times of Edward Olmos, Joey Zagarino, and the author on their quest for rock 'n' roll stardom in the streets of Hollywood. Not many people know that Edward Olmos started his career as a singer and frontman for the band, The Pacific Ocean. Fewer people know that he was a "furniture mover to the stars" before he became an "overnight" success.
"I started writing about our early careers for Olmos Productions' newsletter," says the author Steven "Rusty" Johnson, "and from those articles it turned into a book. We did so much and saw so much that it's astounding!"
What did they see and do? "We toured with Wolfman Jack, played for Robert F. Kennedy, intermingled with just about every star that you could name, saw friends die, saw other friends succeed while we were busting our humps and wondering when the next check would come so that we could pay rent. It's been an amazing ride and this book is a tribute to that--that spirit that drives one to go after success and damn the torpedoes."
Slated to be released in the next few months, Walk, Don't Run is already being hailed as not only an "autobiographical story with star power", but also as a manual for anyone who wondered what it takes to make it in Hollywood and show business.
