Ain’t It Cool News loooooves my upcoming episode of Justified. (Set in Harlan, KY, ‘natch.)

Film News Briefs <3 Slated

Posted on: February 15th, 2012 by wmapother No Comments

There’s a great piece on my online film finance marketplace Slated in Film News Briefs.  

We had a terrific party at Sundance, and the marketplace currently lists over 30 films, including several with Oscar winners.  Here’s to the democratization of film finance!

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.

The National Board of Review has named Another Earth one of the top ten 10 independent films of 2011.  Alongside indies such as Take Shelter, Win Win, and Beginners, among others, we’re in very good company.

A huge thank-you to the filmmakers and Fox Searchlight for making it all happen!

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.
