The National Hellenic Society and the National Hellenic Museum are organizing Heritage Weekend, where Emmy & Golden Globe Winning Best Actor Michael Chiklis will be honored, from October 6, 2022 to October 9, 2022.
Heritage Weekend will take place at the luxurious, beachside Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Resort, and the organizers promise something for everyone to enjoy, “especially the outstanding parea.”
In an announcement, the organizers say they will honor one of Hollywood’s most accomplished actors and celebrities with lead roles in feature films and several long-running television series including The Commish, The Shield, and Gotham among others.
Michael Chiklis is proud of his Greek heritage. “The NHS is proud to honor Michael for exemplifying excellence in all aspects of his professional and personal life,” it was announced. “Join us in welcoming Michael and his family.”
