Until 2009, ran VoiceYourself, a group that promotes organic living. That same year, while promoting his Iraq War film The Messenger , on The Colbert Report , he allowed host Stephen Colbert to shave his head on camera while they sang "The Star-Spangled Banner." Harrelson received… Show more an Oscar nomination for his performance in the film. Scored the winning goal, on a penalty kick, for the 2010 UNICEF Soccer Aid event. Cowrote and directed the play  Bullet for Adolf , which was presented in Toronto in 2011. The story---which revolves around eight people in Houston in 1983---was inspired by Harrelson's experience with cowriter Frankie Hyman, with whom he worked construction in that city during his scuffling days. ~ Rovi
