Jon Lovitz
Jon Lovitz is one of ‘those guys’ that you can’t help but recognize from somewhere. He is most widely recognized for his work on Saturday Night Live as part of the ensemble cast from 1985 to about 1990. The show gave him a platform to work his way into film and television and his iconic, if nasally, voice has kept him there. Lovitz is revered for his comedy but his journey hasn’t quite been all laughs. In fact the man has been suffering from psoriasis for over a decade at this point and it didn’t take him long to want to do something about it. Lovitz is standing behind the Are You Serious? campaign which is designed to bring national awareness to those that suffer from psoriasis. Lovitz heavily emphasizes a candid conversation with your dermatologist alongside a healthier lifestyle in order to deal with all of the problems that psoriasis can incur. He also firmly believes in developing a strong networks of friends and family who can understand what you are going through so as to be able to assist you when you need them the most. This isn’t a scientific way to attack your problems, but it worked for Lovitz.
