Q: You've done some acting? Have you been in anything I've seen?

Highly unlikely.

The only video-like stuff I've been in that actually got released... you only see the back of my head at best for a fraction of a second. I was a patron in the bar in Professional Courtesy, and you see the back of me charging someone at about 4:15 in this music video:

I've also been in a lot of films that never got past the editing stage. You'd be surprised at how many movies never get finished. In those I've been cast as an ogre, a blacksmith, but usually as third barbarian from the left.

Otherwise, I've done a number of small stage-plays. I played a priest in Cyrano DeBergerac, one of Tybalt's entourage in Romeo and Juliet, so on and so forth. Most recently I've been in a production of Aeterno Elementum as a Viking warrior who gets killed and brought back as some kind of servitor Undead, all backed by heavy metal music.

Of course, I also used to perform a lot at renfaires as part of the Seattle Knights doing swordfights and the like. The fights for those are scripted, but all the rest is improv, feeding off of the audience and adapting to whatever they're interested in at the time.

You may notice a theme. I don't do primaries. I do background stuff. I fill space. Somebody has to do it, and while I do get speaking parts, I don't really care about being a 'star'. Most of the parts I get is more doing a favor for a friend who needs bodies to take up the stage.

This all is one of the reasons that I don't put a lot of effort into hiding my real identity online. There's not much point. Once you step up on stage, 'privacy' becomes a moot point. There's one trick when they send you pizza to prove they can find you. To me that's great, I'd really like some pizza. :comeatus:
