FDR: What a Badass

Posted on: January 20th, 2012 by wmapother No Comments

I’ve been in a number of movies, but none with a title as promising as FDR: American Badass.  Yes, that’s FDR: American Badass.  In this extraordinarily moving and realistic film based on realistic events in a realistic-y fashion, our 32nd President fights Nazi werewolves.  I play Dr. Ellington but do not play the saw.

[Note of Vital Importance:  The events depicted in this film have been very suspiciously expunged from our history books.  This is your — and everyone’s, just about — first opportunity to see how the sh*t with Delano really went down.

Entertainment Weekly interviewed director Garrett Brawith.  It even includes a badass trailer.  This film is another from the semi-deranged mind of Ross Patterson, who was to blame, er, responsible for another of my promisingly titled ventures, Darnell Dawkins: Mouth Guitar Legend.

There is — again, very suspiciously — no release date, but as soon as one is available, I’ll let you know, or die trying.

Horror on the Horizon

Posted on: November 12th, 2011 by wmapother 1 Comment

Earlier this year I shot a part in the 3D film Static, starring Milo Ventimiglia, Sarah Shahi, and Sara Paxton.  No word yet on the release date, but over to the right’s an early one-sheet, and here’s a little press piece on the movie..

I’ve seen it listed as both horror or thriller?  At a certain point, does it matter?  Hiller or throrror:  Sleepless nights, here I come.
