On January 25, actor, writer and comedian Tom Arnold kicks of the 17th installment of the Addiction and Recovery Lecture Series at Horry-Georgetown Technical College in Conway, South Carolina - just up the road from Myrtle Beach.
The series will run on consecutive Thursdays through February 15,
If you are a certain age like we are, you’ll remember Tom from his work on the long-running ABC sitcom Roseanne – or that he was once married to the show’s star, Roseanne Barr. And who can forget him opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger in True Lies – or the hilarious restroom scene in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery.
But he cut his teeth on standup, which he still performs, and has appeared in scores of films and television shows over more than three decades. He’s also a single parent of a son and daughter.
Tom is also in recovery – and has been very open about his experience with addiction, relapse, child sexual abuse and a series of health scares over the years. But he’s arguably in the best shape of his life now.
In 2008, HGTC physics professor Casey King founded and launched Addiction and Recovery Lecture Series – a popular event that has included a growing “Who’s Who” of featured celebrity speakers – from actors to rock stars to medical professionals and many more.
The series also features presentations and panels including college students, recovery advocates and spokespersons from local recovery groups, rounding out an event that shines as a beacon of hope for those still struggling with addiction and a lamp on the path of those on their recovery journeys.
A big thank you to Casey for putting us in touch with Tom.

Adam Holt's life would never be the same after, at nine years old, he saw Aerosmith's Joe Perry play a Silver Sparkle Gretsch Duo Jet on cable TV.
Flash forward: Adam is a musical renaissance man - a performing songwriter focusing on contemporary Southern rock and blues. He lives near Gulf Shores, Alabama and has been a staple of the live music scene in the region for well over two decades. He's got three albums under his belt along with freestanding singles and other recording projects - and operates his own analog (two-inch tape) recording studio.
The twins enjoy a conversation with Adam about all of this and much more, including two original tracks - one of which has garnered more than a million streams on Spotify.

And down the rabbit hole they go, discussing growing up in Hollywood in the 1970s, recent gigs, musical gear then and now and much more - including road trips, friends, concerts, postponed tours, books and music. They suck at fencing and tap dancing.

In this episode, the twins welcome singer/songwriter Kristi Jacques.
During the pandemic, Kristi picked up the guitar again after 25 years and began writing and recording. She now has two albums and several freestanding singles under her belt, and she's just getting started.
In 2009, Kristi was diagnosed with pulmonary sarcoidosis, an autoimmune disease that affects many organs and usually goes away on its own, but not in her case.
