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."
