Actor's Detective CEO to spend Oscar night writing letters to the Academy Awards' celebrity nominees

Chris Lucas, CEO of The Actor's Detective and author of the recent book "The Actor's Detective Guide To Writing Show Business Contact Letters" will spend Oscar night, Sunday February 26th, writing letters to all of the Academy Award nominees in the major creative categories (Actors, Actresses, Supporting Actors/Actresses, Directors, Writers, Producers, etc.) By the time the last golden statues are given out, he will have composed over 100 letters to the Oscar hopefuls and winners.

As Lucas points out in his book, letter writing has become a lost art in this age of texting and tweeting. For someone to receive a letter in the mail, as old fashioned as it might seem now, it's like a breath of fresh air. For notable celebrities and show business power players, even more so. Letters stand out and get noticed.

"The Guide To Writing Show Business Contact Letters" was originally published as a response to aspiring actors who were seeking to advance their careers by writing letters to producers and directors, but just weren't sure what to say to them. It's become so much more than that. Lucas has gotten feedback from charity donation departments who tell him that they've found the book useful when writing to celebrities to solicit items for their fundraising events, parents and teachers who say that the book is an excellent teaching tool for letter writing campaigns or lessons, and fans who just want to write to their favorite stars, but are frustrated at the lack of responses. This book helps get results for all of them.

Lucas knows from personal experience that the methods laid out clearly and humorously in his 42 page ebook work. He has used this process of writing letters to help him, among other things, book a starring voice-over role in a series of best selling video games, and a major part in the last film of an Academy Award winning director. He's also gotten personal calls from big stars, business leaders and political figures, raised millions in donations for a charity in his home state of New Jersey with celebrity items and appearances, and is now co-producing a film starring a recent Oscar nominee. All from just writing letters.

After writing the 100 plus letters Sunday night, and then addressing all of the envelopes, Lucas will have his own private Oscar "after party" watching the winners drink champagne on TV while he rests his hand in a bucket of ice.
