Simon Baker: Playing the benefactor Walk of Fame Honors: Simon Baker By SUSAN YOUNG (VARIETY)



Simon Baker doesn't like to talk about his philanthropy although he's involved in a bunch of charities.

"To be honest, I feel slightly embarrassed about talking about charity work, because it wouldn't have happened if my wife didn't facilitate those things," Baker says. "She's the one behind it all. I'm busy with my work and if she didn't say we should do this, I don't know if I would think of doing it on my own."

Besides Mending Kids Intl., which helps children coming to the U.S. for major surgeries, Baker supports the Save the Tasmanian Devil charity and Artists for Peace and Justice, plus contributes to the Coalition to Abolish Slavery and Trafficking, UNICEF, Food on Foot (a program that homeless people get fed and back to work), and Planned Parenthood.
