A national campaign to squash stigma, “No Kidding, Me Too," is growing under the leadership of actor Joe Pantoliano. Calling for “equal rights for the brain,” Pantoliano, who struggles with depression, has been organizing the entertainment industry to spread the message about empowerment and acceptance.

Later that evening, his organization NKM2 honored Sally Field.
