Actor Joe Pantoliano, best known for his role as Ralph Cifaretto on “The Sopranos,” is rallying the troops in Hollywood to battle the stigma of mental illness through his organization No Kidding, Me Too!

No Kidding, Me Too! is a nonprofit organization comprised of entertainment industry members united in an effort to educate Americans about the epidemic related to brain dis-ease in all forms. Through this enlightenment we will teach those suffering from it, and their loved ones who are victims of it, to talk about it openly. The goal is to tear this stigma out of the closet so these people will be surprised to find millions of others like themselves and say, “No Kidding, Me Too!”

From the No Kidding, Me Too! website

The list of advisory board members reads like a carpet call at the Oscars, including Hollywood greats Jeff Bridges, Dana Delany, Matt, Dillon, Robert Downey Jr., Edie Falco, Harrison Ford, and Marcia Gay Harden, to name only a few.

We wish them great success and encourage you to visit No Kidding, Me Too! to find out more about the organization and what you can do to help.
