Joey Pantoliano, No Kidding, Me Too :: Part 1 :: It's Your Call

Joe Pantoliano, from 'The Sopranos' airs his new documentary about mental illness, 'No Kidding Me Too' at the Woods Hole Film Festival tonight.

Best known as Joey Pants, Pantoliano made this documentary after staring in 'Canvas' with Marcia Gay Harden, which is all about mental illness.

“I’m a storyteller,” said Joey. “It’s what I do. And after hearing all the stories from people I talked to about the film, I had to tell their stories and show that there is hope.”

Pantoliano will bring 'No Kidding Me Too' to Iraq next month with is 'Stomp Stigma Tour'.

“There’s an epidemic of suicide in Iraq right now amongst the military,” he said. “I’m going with actress Lisa Jay, who sits on my foundation’s board, and Dr. Robert Irvin from McLean Hospital . We’re going to travel in Black Hawk helicopters. I’m like the Bob Hope of the mentally ill.”

Pantoliano himself admits to taking antidepressants everyday.
