From Our Editors
Actor Hill Harper has portrayed characters ranging from a womanizing rapper in Hav Plenty to medical examiner Dr. Sheldon Hawkes on CSI to a relentlessly persistent student cameraman in Spike Lee's Get On the Bus. Off camera, this Sacramento native has been equally versatile, winning degrees from Brown University and Harvard Law School and pursuing a successful business career. Harper's Letters to a Young Brother don't flaunt his success; rather, he draws on the diverse lessons it has taught him.
