Wanna Meet ‘Southland’ Star Michael Cudlitz?

Have you always wanted to meet Southland star Michael Cudlitz but just never had the opportunity? If so, you’ve finally got a chance coming up in 2010, provided you can make it to the Chicago area during the chilly month of January.

On January 6, the Standoff and Band of Brothers veteran, who currently plays police officer John Cooper on the NBC import, will visit the Windy City to attend an exclusive Q&A session and screening party for the crime drama, which will feature a previously unaired episode.

According to the website Chicago Now, the TNT-sponsored event will take place from 6:30pm to 8:30pm in the Crimson Lounge of Hotel Sax, which is located at 333 North Dearborn Street.

However, you can’t just show up out of the blue for the two-hour event and expect to get in. If you want to attend, make sure to send an email as soon as possible to southlandchicago@gmail.com with the subject “SHOW PATROL.”

Good luck to those who want to go!
