Draper, Lily Tomlin and other luminaries in the field of solo theatre.

He has appeared on "30 Rock" (NBC), "Friday Night Lights" (NBC), "The Graham Norton
Effect" (Comedy Central) and will soon appear as host of the 19th Annual South
Florida GLAAD Media Awards (Bravo).

The prolific actor appears this month in the feature film "Crosshairs" directed by

cards, "Jade Esteban Estrada for Nos Vemos Greetings."

Formally the choreographer to television personality Charo and a scratch vocalist
for the Back Street Boys, Estrada released his debut CD \"Angel\" (Vicarious) in 2001
and in 2002 took part in the \"Being Out Rocks\" (Centaur) CD compilation in honor of
National Coming Out Day for the Human Rights Campaign.

In October 2006, Kentucky Governor Ernie Fletcher paid tribute to Estrada by
commissioning him the title of \"Kentucky Colonel,\" the highest honor awarded by the
Commonwealth of Kentucky that acknowledges outstanding ambassadors of goodwill and
fellowship around the world. The Texas native joined other honorary colonels which
include Winston Churchill, Ronald Reagan, Bob Hope, Joan Crawford, Johnny Depp,
Muhammad Ali and Pope John Paul II.
