    Default A clip from the short film I just wrapped on

    Check it out! Me in the flesh working the camera in this intense scene. I played the lead character Argon in 'Like Smoke'

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPKM7Alsc_o

    The lead up to this shot: My character Argon killed his ex girlfriend and ex business partner upstairs. They'd set him up 8 years ago which put him in jail for 8 years. He has been full of rage without closure for those 8 years. His ex girlfriend Jenny begged him not to kill her because she had his baby while he was in jail. Suddenly Argon hears someone enter the house downstairs after the murders. It's Lily. Argon realizes she is his daughter.

    Wow. Holy cow. Don't think I'll ever be able to hear those silly Simon Hill voices quite the same way again!
    This is terrific, Simon! And now I know why your v/o work is so good. You're a tremendous actor, at least from what I can tell from this clip.

    I just lost out on a cool role in an independent film playing a bad guy, too. The director wanted me desperately but due to my conflicts with being in a stage play right now, we couldn't work out a shooting schedule and he had to replace me. Seeing you in this role makes me REALLY miss doing my own creepy guy thing.

    Kudos, bro'!!

    Mike, read the little blurb Simon included above and it pretty much tells you the story leading up to the clip he posted.

    Bahaha thanks for watching you guys!! I'm honestly not THAT scary... Well... maybe.. I think it's kind of funny because comedic relief or crazy psycho are the 2 roles I always seem to be cast as. Scott I hope you can get your freak on soon. You guys should totally post some live performances up here!!
