Coming soon to TV CONFIDENTIAL: JAMES ROSIN, actor, author, and the publisher of Classic TV Series Books, on the tremendous responsibility that actor NEHEMIAH PERSOFF always took to both his craft (whether performing for film, TV, or the stage) and to the Jewish people, all throughout his life and career, and how Persoff created a new career for himself as a painter and sketch artist over the past three decades. Jim has just published Nick’s memoirs, THE MANY FACES OF NEHEMIAH, a few weeks after Persoff celebrated his 102nd birthday. THE MANY FACES OF NEHEMIAH is available through ClassicTVSeriesBooks.com and Amazon.com. Jim Rosin will be appearing at the Williamsburg Nostalgia Fest in Williamsburg, VA on Thursday 11/11 thru Saturday 11/13
