Like The Larry Sanders Show before it, Action is drawing top celebrities for cameo appearances.

Head On, the sexy feature from Greek Australian director Ana Kokkinos, opens today in limited release. The film traces 24 hours in life of Ari, a handsome 19-year-old Greek-Australian gay youth who finds himself in direct conflict with the masculine values of his family and community.
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times' Kevin Thomas, Kokinos said she is pleased with the audience response to Head On in Greece.
