Jimmy McNichol (A.K.A. James Vincent McNichol, III,) is an actor,
musician, and environmentalist. Additionally, McNichol is co-partner in
the entertainment production company Playground Television, Inc.
McNichol is internationally known; was a top T.V. & Film star; a teen-age
heart-throb; and one of the most popular actors in the entertainment
industry from the late 1970s through the early 90s. He continues to
have an international fan base, with many young people discovering his
old work and becoming new fans. Now, McNichol was just named celebrity
spokesman for the nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation "Pet Power Kids."
Formerly, McNichol appeared on countless magazine covers and was
consistently the star of top T.V. and film productions. McNichol had
several network T.V. shows and feature films created just for him, and
even co-produced a CBS network variety special with über-producer
Jerry Weintraub. Also, McNichol
worked with numerous Academy Award winners and nominees, including
Jill Clayburgh,
Shirley Knight,
Richard Jaeckel, and
Susan Tyrrell.
In conjunction with the "Pet Power Kids," McNichol and Playground
Television are developing a T.V. series documenting animal rescue and
animal issues, entitled, "Animal Rescue The Rockies" A.K.A. "ARTR."
"Animal Rescue The Rockies" is an animal welfare T.V. show documenting
the process and suspense of rescuing animals in the Colorado Rockies;
with a segment dedicated to the Pet Power Kids' 501(c)(3) corporation
and the nonprofit's mission to save older shelter dogs and older
shelter cats that are unlikely to ever be adopted, and would have been
euthanized.
McNichol is an active philanthropist and successful real estate
developer, who later this year, will be making his return to the
entertainment industry. Previously, he had moved away from Hollywood to
raise his kids, but now that the children are older, he is making his
return to television and film, and his sister
Kristy McNichol is by his side to help
him out whenever necessary.
McNichol's two-decade absence, and much public anticipation, explains why
fans are still selling his autographed photos for $300.
During his absence from California, McNichol has spent time in France
with his wife and children, while continuing to give a rare concert
performance. This year, McNichol is releasing a new C.D. entitled "Eco
Warrior" under Aurora Entertainment's Ecology Music Group label "EMG,"
and donating part of the proceeds to charity. Also, McNichol is
performing at benefit concerts and giving away a free promotional
"video D.V.D. sample" to promote ecological awareness and philanthropy.
Notably, the feature film and cult classic that McNichol starred in
with Oscar nominee Susan Tyrrell, "Night Warning," is about to be
released on D.V.D. Additionally, Jimmy has a new D.V.D. box set, released in
2013, with Producer Roger Corman, which includes "Smokey Bites The
Dust". In 2015, "Escape from El Diablo" was also released on D.V.D.
