Tori's back again! No Sudden Moves though! This time with an auteur, Hollywood legend and global griot - at a towering 6' 4\\xbd\\u201d - who\\u2019s portrayed some indelible tough and rough multi-layered characters and directed cult underground classics and American blockbusters alike. But this gentle giant of a storyteller is also someone who has said one\\u2019s personal life, \\u201crequires vulnerability and that\\u2019s the painful part\\u201d. Even as we chronicle the mountain tops of an illustrious career, he surveys the valleys, crediting the practice of Transcendental Meditation with saving his life. He is the author of a memoir subtitled, \\u201cMy 40-Year Career on Screen and Behind the Camera\\u201d.\\xa0 He has been a director, producer, actor and cinematographer - participating in American culture at the highest levels of global culture for the past 6 decades and going into his 7th. He is also passionate about his Younite Network and the Duke Media Foundation, where he teaches media and financial literacy.
\\u201cHere\\u2019s to Life\\u201d welcomes the singular, gracious, and accomplished Bill Duke.
