With all of the mentions in the news, Clowns may not be that popular this Halloween. But when the clown is Michael, and the clown suit doesn't include pants, I am sure we can make an exception! I have featured model, writer, blogger (Entertain Me) in several previous posts. (two are featured HERE: & HERE:) Today... it is time to add actor to Michael's already long and impressive resume.
The California based writer has had appeared in small roles in three horror related projects and when Halloween was approaching, I asked Michael to share a some behind the scenes details from the flicks, and details on his on screen deaths! Michael appeared as leather wearing Daddy (sadly keeping his leather on...) on television The Lair as well as films The Summer of Massacre and Terror Tunes 3. M
The Lair:
I have always been a huge fan of horror ever since I was a kid. Vampires are my favorite archetype. So when I got to be featured as Leather Daddy Vampire on The Lair it was pretty awesome. One of the cool memories from it was working with famed low budget horror director, Fred Olen Ray. Once I got on the set we were in and out within an hour.
The Summer Of Massacre:
One of the things on my bucket list was to be killed violently in a horror film. My wish came true in The Summer Of Massacre. I play a cop in the segment Son of the Boogeyman. Guess what? The Boogeyman kills me by squeezing my skull in until it explodes! I remember attending the premiere with my then boyfriend, it was the first time I had seen myself on a big screen as my part came up he sensed my tension and grabbed my hand to hold it. Seeing myself up there was surreal!
Terror Toons 3:
The most interesting thing about this production was seeing the finished product. All the acting and reacting was done with no sets and only representations of Dr. Carnage the homicidal cartoon that kills me and the other doctors in the ER. It was nothing on set, but the finished film was amazing visually
