The USA Network has been on a crusade to promote tolerance with its Characters Unite public service program, in October bringing Meghan McCain and Forest Whitaker to the Newseum to talk about the times in their lives that they’ve faced discrimination. (Yeah, McCain’s was a stretch, but whatever.)
Now as part of Characters Unite Month in February the cable network has tapped talent from its own ranks to come to D.C. and spread the message. Next Tuesday, Willie Garson of “White Collar” (he also played Stanford Blatch, for all you “Sex and the City” fans out there), Coby Bell of “Burn Notice” and Timothy Omundson of “Psych” will stop by a Farragut Square park to meet fans. In addition, those who come by the USA pop-up structure will get free “I won’t stand for…” T-shirts and can take pictures wearing them in a photo kiosk, which will also be on hand.
