Penn in Pictures '08 VIDEO: ER's Medical Consultant Zach Lutsky (C'97)

Yesterday, I posted video of TV writer (and Penn in Pictures') host Lew Schneider (C'83) talking about his beginnings in Hollywood.

Today, I continue my Penn in Pictures series with great video of Zach Lutsky (C'97). Not only is Zach an attending physician in Emergency Medicine at Cedars-Sinai medical Center, but he has worked as a medical consultant on:

• two cable shows, "Untold Stories of the ER" and "Diagnosis X" 
• and is currently in his second season as an on-set medical technical advisor on "ER." 
• Most recently, he also was the medical technical advisor on the new John Wells pilot, "LAPD."

In the videos above, watch Zach talk about his beginnings from Penn - to Dr - to Dr. Hollywood!

A special thanks to editor David Chalfin (C'96), a fantastic editor living in Los Angeles who recorded and edited all the Penn in Pictures videos. Check out his reel here!

Penn in Pictures '08 VIDEO: TV Writer Lew Schneider (C'83)

Yesterday I talked about this year's great Penn in Pictures event and how I will be posting videos from the event.

To start things off, check out the video above of TV writer Lew Schneider (C'83, Everybody Loves Raymond writer).

In the video, Lew talks about:

• His major at Penn, his time in Mask and Wig
• How her pursued a life in comedy as a stand-up, tv host, an actor and a TV writer
• How he transitioned from actor to writer and what shows he wrote for before landing his Everybody Loves Raymond gig
• What he's been doing since Raymond ended (including new pilots, a great animated show he wrote for, and his time now on New Adventures of Old Christine)

More Penn in Pictures videos tomorrow!

(l to r): Lew Schneider (C'83), event producer Reg Tigerman (C'07), Zach Lutsky (C'97), 

Sherri Cooper Landsman (C'94) and Jason Resnick (C'92)

"How do I break into the entertainment business?" is the number one question Penn alumni and undergrads always ask of me.

In late October, the Penn Club of Los Angeles hosted its annual Penn in Pictures event at ICM and those who attended got some answers from some of our successful alumni panelists.

These paneslists included Jason Resnick (C'92) (Universal acquisitions), Sherri Cooper Landsman (C'95) (Brothers and Sisters Writer), Zach Lutsky (C'97) (ER Medical Consultant) and moderator Lew Schneider (C'83)(Everybody Loves Raymond, New Adventures of Old Christine)

If you missed the event, not to worry!  For the first time, we have recorded the event and starting tomorrow (for the next 2 weeks), I will be sharing with you the videos from all of our panelists and more importantly, the 20+ questions that our alumni asked of our panelists including the ever popular question on "how do I get into the business"!

Check back here on DT, you'll definitely want to know what our panelists said!  (sign up for the free newsletter below to get the updates delivered to your email!)

"Oh Baby, Be Wise--Immunize!"

After spending 10 days in bed last February with the flu, I saw this video and thought it was a good reminder for everyone to get their flu shot.

This video is also pretty entertaining...especially watching the employees of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania lip sync to PennYo, UPenn's Premier Chinese A Cappella Group.

Not a Good Week for Penn Contestants on Reality TV

Back in September, it seemed like a promising season for 2 Penn alumni on reality TV, however it all came tumbling down for these alumni within 3 days of one another.

Last Thursday, Charlie Herschel (C'01) was blindsided and then eliminated from Survivor Gabon. Then three days later, Sarah Leshner (C'98, W'01) and her boyfriend Terrence were "the last team to arrive" and then "eliminated from the [Amazing] race".

Check out what Charlie revealed to Marcus when he arrived at "Ponderosa" (the place you go to after you're kicked out of Survivor), what he did there, and then how he felt the day after.

Then listen to Sarah and Terrence about their final thoughts about The Amazing Race, each other and their most memorable moments from the show:
