BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Tony and Golden Globe award-winning actor Barry Bostwick has been honored for being a nuisance — about promoting early detection of prostate cancer.
Bostwick, who played Mayor Randall Winston on the TV show “Spin City,” received the Gilda Radner Courage Award from the Roswell Park Cancer Institute on Saturday.
“I do all I can to beat the bushes for early screening for men,” he said. “I’ve made sort of a nuisance of myself getting my message across the air.”
Bostwick, 58, was diagnosed with prostate cancer six years ago after taking a test. He underwent surgery to remove his prostate and is “now as cancer free as can be,” he said.
