When he was 18, Luke met President Bill Clinton. It was a wonderful event, full of hope and meaning. Everything was set to go perfectly - if only Luke hadn’t been yelling at Bill interrupting his speech on AIDS, in front of a packed auditorium and the world’s media cameras. Some things about that day we’re crazy. Luke had temporarily legally changed his last name to “Sissyfag” (yup, we’re not kidding, he was a silly kid). But when the next day the New York Times called Luke’s concerns “only fair” on its editorial page, it was clear that there was more than a just some fired-up kid. There was passion and a commitment to helping others.

A lot of time has gone by, and a lot’s changed since the early 90’s. Once a clear critic of the Clintons, Luke has grown-up and is now one of their biggest supporters.

Having created and produced documentaries as well as a pilot for a TV comedy series, Luke’s work has also focused on bringing good ideas to good causes. Working with Jack Lemmon and Larry King on a “fur labeling” voter initiative in Beverly Hills was a chance to warn consumers about animal cruelty. Creating the pet-adoption promoting “Save-A-Pet Show,” Luke teamed up with stars like Drew Barrymore and Kelsey Grammer to help 1-800-Save-A-Pet.com find homes for our nation’s homeless pets. Luke’s work has been the on-air talk of names from Howard Stern and Jon Stewart, to Rush Limbaugh and David Letterman. Luke’s many media appearances run the gamut from CNN’s Inside Politics and Donahue, on down to MTV and Extra!
