Bronson Pinchot: Balki Bartokomous

Bronson Pinchot Project Dept: HARFORD, Pa. - For more than a decade, Bronson Pinchot has spent much of his downtime in the picture-book Pennsylvania hamlet where he found a dream home far from the stressful clamour of New York or L.A, according to Winnipeg Free Press. Still, he has decided to open his doors to America via "The Bronson Pinchot Project," which premiered Feb. 11 on the DIY Network. In all, eight episodes were shot over 13 weeks at the end of last year in Harford, a village founded in 1790 and nestled in the Endless Mountains of Susquehanna County near the New York state line and this photo taken Feb. 1, 2012 shows a Greek revival home, one of six properties Bronson Pinchot owns in Harford, Pa. Pinchot, best known for his starring role on the 1980's sitcom "Perfect Strangers," is back on TV with a new show about restoring his historic Pennsylvania homes. The show, The Bronson Pinchot Project, premiered this month on the DIY cable network. AP Photo/Heather Ainsworth Pinchot likely remains best known as the endearingly na ve, quasi-Mediterranean immigrant Balki Bartokomous from the TV sitcom "Perfect Strangers." But unlike Balki, Pinchot is by his own admission "fiercely private" and an "introvert that does a pretty convincing performance as an extrovert." (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
