Presented by the Entertainment Merchant’s Association (EMA), EMA&= #8217;s 2007 Home Entertainment Awards are part of EMA’s= Home Media Expo 2007, which runs July 16-19.

“John Schneider is a rare talent who has found success in many forms of entertain= ment and who has sustained his success for almost three decades,” noted EMA President Bo Andersen. “We are looking forward to his gifted musical performance.”

Schneider is attending EMA’s Home Media Expo to pro= mote the DVD release of his current film, John Schneider’s Collier & C= o. – Hot Pursuit! Schneider not only stars in the film, he also served as the project’s writer, producer, and director. Collier & Co. ran theatrically earlier this year in eight markets and is due out on DVD from Westlake Entertainment on September 18th. Schneider, an active philanthropi= st, used proceeds from a number of the film’s theatrical dates to raise m= oney in support of local libraries and fire departments.

Schneider, who recently appeared as John Kent, Superman’s father, in Smallville on the CW Network, became a star as one of= the leads in The Dukes of Hazzard television series, which aired from 1979-1985 on CBS. Following his success on television, Schneider became a hit in another entertainment field: music. He has releas= ed 11 solo albums and has a #1 album and four #1 singles to his credit. And lo= ng before Hollywood artists routinely tried= their luck on the boards of Broadway, Schneider successfully made the transition = to musical theater, appearing for 487 performances in the Tony Award-winning production of Grand Hotel.

In 1983, Schneider was a co-founder, with Marie Osmond, of the Children’s Miracle Network, the non-profit organization dedicated to saving and improv= ing the lives of children by raising funds for children’s hospitals acros= s North America. Since its founding, the ChildrenR= 17;s Miracle Network has raised more than $2.7 billion for the premier children’s hospitals in the network.
