The Monologue Bin - 2nd edition » (Study Guide)

Soap opera fans may recall Jim Chevallier from the opening week of NBC's "Passions", in which he played a French doctor. Now a writer and an actor, he spent years in the music business, hosting radio shows in the Boston-Cambridge area (WCAS, WBUR and WBZ-FM) and performing original songs in clubs and festivals across New England and Europe. His photographs of the winemakers of Chablis have also been published, in "Wines of Chablis and the Yonne" by Rosemary George.
