Anthony Edwards: In addition to being a Golden Globe-winning actor appearing on stage and in premiere Hollywood films and TV, Edwards is a survivor who served as the Chairman of the Board of 1 in 6 – an advocacy organization dedicated to male survivors of sexual abuse
Anthony's love of acting, and the human connection he found through it, gave him a pathway to healing after he was abused by a mentor.It was an acting mentor who betrayed and profoundly harmed Tony, but it was acting itself that saved him. What at first seems paradoxical is not. Anthony Edwards loves acting, deeply. He loves the honesty, the deep connection that can be attained between actors, the trust that is necessary to attain it. He knew this about acting even as a child. When the mentor betrayed Tony’s trust, and preyed on him and other boys whom he had groomed, Tony was pulled into the predator’s orbit of fear and conditional love. But what he experienced in acting enabled Tony to protect that part of himself that is the human source of trust, of connection, and of love.
Stephen Mills is the author of Chosen: A Memoir of Stolen Boyhood, which won a 2022 National Jewish Book Award. He is also the coauthor of Next of Kin: My Conversations with Chimpanzees, a Los Angeles Times Best Book of the Year. Since 1982 he has advised and written for an array of public interest organizations in the fields of human rights and environmental protection. Stephen is honored to serve as an Ambassador for CHILD USA and on the board of Darkness to Light, a national organization empowering adults to prevent child sexual abuse. He lives in California with his wife, Susan.
