As part of the Stomp the Stigma tour, with his not-for-profit organization No Kidding, Me Too! (NKM2), Pantoliano will utilize Ustream's interactive features to answer fan questions in real-time, and discuss his preparation for his upcoming trip to Iraq. The Stomp The Stigma Tour has been designed for U.S. troops deployed overseas to not only remove the shame and humiliation attached to mental illness, but to also provide military personnel serving abroad with valuable and informative materials on the subject.

From August 31 until September 10, Pantoliano will also be periodically streaming from military bases in Iraq.
