Shortly before my college graduation, I saw that they were casting for Terror Firmer. My friend Joe and I went to Troma among other places to see if we could get work on the Film. They were only offering unpaid internships. I took it, my friend Joe didn't. Ironically enough I got him a paying job on the film a little later as a grip. He was also in the Film as "clothespin boy".

3. What various job positions did you hold during your time at Troma?

Intern, Production Assistant, Actor, Associate Producer, Co-Head of Production.

4. Did you need any additional motivation for your tougher scenes in Terror Firmer? How did you react when you found out what you'd have to do for your part in the film?

Additional Motivation? I guess I was just psyched that I was gonna be in the movie. When I found out I was going to run naked I didn't want to do it at first, but I went ahead and did it because I thought it would be a funny scene in the movie.

5. What were your favorite and least favorite experiences while working with Troma?

I've had two amazingly great experiences at Troma. My absolute favorite was when I went to the Cannes Film Festival in 2000. If you love movies, this is your Disneyland. It just felt good being there, and it was pretty awesome that the company flew me out there. It's nice to feel important. Granted I had to stay in a two bedroom apartment with about thirty other people, but I was younger and it didn't really bother me. The other great experience I had was at the very beginning when I was working on the set of Terror Firmer. It was my first feature film and it was really exciting, plus I got along with everyone really well. It was a good time. The worst experience at Troma was when I had to go down to the basement and organize posters, memorabilia, etc. etc. That place was a dungeon and it smelled like decomposing rat corpses. It sucked. I was always happy to be done with the basement.

6. Would you ever consider working with Troma again?

No, Troma does not pay enough. I was living at home with my parents while I worked for them. I didn't pay any rent and my mom is a wonderful cook so I ate really well for free. The only bills I had to worry about were my student loans.

7. What have you been working on after your time with Troma?

After Troma I got a job bartending at Arirang Hibachi Steakhouse in the Bay Ridge area of Brooklyn. I was there for about two years and then I moved out to Los Angeles and was very fortunate to land a job on a TV show called Threat Matrix which led to a job on Desperate Housewives and that's the show I'm working on now.

8. What are some of your favorite movies (and favorite Troma movies)?

My favorite movie of all time is The Princess Bride. Some other favorites include Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon, Pray for Death, I really liked Ninja movies from the 80's. All the Indiana Jones movies were really kick ass. Troma movies that I like are Tromeo and Juliet, Terror Firmer (I might be a little biased but I think it's a pretty good movie), The Toxic Avenger, Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD, Cannibal the Musical. I'm sure there are others but, those are what come to mind right now.

9. Anything else you'd like to mention?

I'm on a diet now. Losing weight is hard.
