Alec Mapa to be presented with 2014 Fusion Achievement Award next month by Sandra Oh

Well, I’m still getting over all of the laughs Alec Mapa provided us with at last Saturday’s Family Equality Council dinner so this news is particularly well-timed.

The very funny man, best known for his recurring role as Suziki St. Pierre on Ugly Betty, Actor, is going to be the recipient of the 2014 Fusion Achievement Award next month.

The presentation will take place on March 15, the middle day of the three-day Outfest Fusion Film Festival at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood.

I love this event and try and attend as much of it as I can.

I certainly won’t miss Alec being presented the award by Sandra Oh which will take place prior to the World Premiere screening of Mapa’s one-man concert film Alec Mapa: Baby Daddy.

I’ve seen the stage version of Baby Daddy so might have to wear adult diapers because it is pee your pants funny.

Kirsten Schaffer, Executive Director of Outfest, has this to say about the honoree:
‘Alec’s performances and comedy have made us laugh, think, and most importantly, they have inspired us. He has contributed so much to LGBT arts and media visibility, and we are incredibly excited and happy to honor him with this award.”

Alec, who has a long list of TV, film and stage credits, is currently appearing in the ABC Family series Switched at Birth.

I will do a post about the Fusion film line-up later today!
