 The
Sunday New York Times showed a familiar face in
their wedding section today. The Times was
featuring the marriage of two theatre actors - Katie
Finneran and Daniel Goldstein. The couple were first
married on August 16 with a civil ceremony at the
Manhattan Marriage Bureau, which was followed by a
second ceremony at Trattoria Cinque in TriBeCa on August
22. The 135 guests who joined them at the Sunday event
were primarily family members and close friends,
including Peter. The Times read, "Mr. Coyote,
who is training to become a Buddhist priest, and
who wore a long black clerical robe, presided over
Sunday’s celebration. He spoke about the
responsibilities each partner in the marriage had to
each other and their community, and how this bond
required them to put 'the other first, to sublimate the
selfish impulse of the moment.' It is 'this
selflessness,' he said, that 'separates marriage from
all other institutions, except maybe parenthood.'" Peter
co-starred with Ms. Finneran in the 2005 "The Inside"
television series, and it's not the first time he's
officiated at a co-star's wedding. In May of 2009, he
presided over the marriage of Bebe Neuwirth ("Adopt
a Sailor").

 There's
a whole slew of National Geographic Explorer
videos from the last couple years that I've just added
to Peter's ever-growing
list of documentaries that he has narrated. Here
are the titles:
  Peter
was among the 20 motorcyle-riding celebrities who took
part in Kiehl's LifeRide, a unique event that supports
research in finding a cure for HIV and AIDS. The ride
from San Diego to San Francisco from August 2-7 was led
by Chris Salgardo, president of Kiehl's USA, and Alain
de Cadenet, Le Mans racer and TV motorsport host.
Salgardo presented $85,000 to the CEO of amfAR at the
end of the ride. Other celebrity riders included William
H. Macy and Fred Durst. The photo above shows Peter with
Jared Zaugg, Teddy Sears and Milissa Skoro.
 I've
previously posted about a film called
THE HARIMAYA BRIDGE, in
which Peter has a cameo. It's the story of an
African-American man who travels to rural Japan to claim
personal items that belonged to his late estranged son,
and is now presently playing at the Presidio Theatre in
San Francisco and in Berkeley at the Oaks Theatre. It
has previously been screened at several film festivals,
including the Pan Africa Film & Arts Festival, where
Aaron Woolfolk received a director's award. Woolfolk
wrote the script drawing on his experience as an English
teacher in the JET exchange program in Japan. With the
support of Danny Glover (Glover is Executive Producer of
the movie and also makes a cameo appearance), Woolfolk
has created a successful first feature. Praise comes
from Asian Week - "The brave, inspiring, and unique journey of the characters in
The Harimaya Bridge is more than just a portrayal of the trials and
tribulations of east meets west – it is a true testament of the
individual will to persevere in the face of discrimination. Yet, despite
the wall of discrimination, Woolfolk ends the film on the force that can
hold all of humanity together – love."
I
just came across these new on-location photos from the
film, THE GUNDOWN,
shot last December near Benson, Arizona. Coyote always
looks good in western garb! The first couple photos
shows him standing with his long-haired co-star, William
Shockley, who also co-wrote the screenplay.

Peter
is presently in Madrid on a publicity tour for
DI DI HOLLYWOOD.
According to Variety, Spanish pubcasters TVE and TV3 and
Gallic paybox Canal Plus have nabbed TV rights. I'm also
happy to report that he has just finished recording a
new audiobook called "The Fifth Agreement" by Don
Miguel Ruiz. Peter previously recorded "Four Agreements"
by Amber-Allen Publishers back in 2003.
Note: There will be no updates until August 1.

Entertainment will finally release the Nigel Cole film “$5
A DAY” on DVD and Blu-ray on August 24th. The
title had previously been scheduled for release back in
January but was put on hold. Christopher Walken plays an
eccentric conman - a hustler content with a life
of schemes and underhanded deals. He lacks one thing: a
reconciliation with his son Flynn, played by Alessandro
Nivola. With a supporting cast that includes Peter,
Sharon Stone and Amanda Peet, this comedy will be a
happy reminder that relationships may take their toll,
but what e get in return is priceless.
