Ted Danson, from ‘Bored to Death’ to Saving Oceans

The Takeaway

Actor Ted Danson is having a phenomenal year on television. He has hit roles in three hot series: HBO’s “Bored to Death” which he stars alongside Jason Schwartzman and Zach Galifianakis. He shows up every now and again on HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and shares the screen with Glenn Close in “Damages.” But our beloved “Cheers” bartender is mostly fired up about his latest off-screen project, ocean conservationist. He has co-authored a book that looks at the state of the oceans and how we can save them. He says he loves the ocean and wants to make it easy for anyone to help. Ted Danson’s new book is called, “Oceana: Our Endangered Oceans and What We Can Do to Save Them.”
