AS SEEN ON TV: ZDENEK MLYNAR

I think this may be the most obscure entry in the "As Seen On TV" gallery this year....

ZDENEK MLYNAR

AS SEEN IN:
"Invasion"

AS PLAYED BY:
Paul Chapman

From Wikipedia:
Zdenek Mlynár (Müller) (22 June 1930, Vysoké Mýto – 15 April 1997, Vienna) was a Czech intellectual who went against the grain during a critical time in the development of Eastern European political history. Mlynár wrote the noteworthy political manifesto “Towards a Democratic Political Organization of Society” which was released on May 5, 1968, at the height of the Prague Spring. He also wrote, while in exile in Vienna, an autobiographical account of the Prague Spring and the Warsaw Pact invasion that put an end to it in August, 1968. It was published in an English translation called "Nightfrost in Prague: The End of Humane Socialism".
