HARRISBURG, Pa., Sept. 2 (UPI) -- Actor, screenwriter, musician and distiller Dan Aykroyd is to sign purchased bottles of his Crystal Head Vodka at a Philadelphia liquor store next week.

The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board said Aykroyd is scheduled to make a personal appearance at the PA Wine & Spirits store from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. EDT Sept. 10.

Aykroyd is best known for his work on TV's "Saturday Night Live" and in the movies "The Blues Brothers," "Ghostbusters" and "Driving Miss Daisy."

"We're excited to bring Dan Aykroyd to Pennsylvania for our customers, many of whom are also his fans," Patrick J. Stapleton III, chairman of the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board, said in a statement. "Millions have been entertained by Dan's acting, writing and humor through the years -- who could forget his role in the classic Philadelphia movie 'Trading Places?' -- and I know our customers will enjoy meeting him and picking up autographed bottles of Crystal Head."
