Brad Anderson, Filmmaker
It was the beginning of a rewarding relationship. I did play Tony in the film, my first role in an "indie", above the student film level, which actually saw completion.
I'd eventually play supporting roles in his first two feature length films, "The Darien Gap" and "Next Stop Wonderland". Clips of my roles in all three films can be viewed on my film resume reel, near the bottom of this page. I've made it clear that I'd go anywhere any time to act in a film for Brad Anderson.

"A Short Film About Bowling"
A Morality Tale
A recurring theme in Brad's films, the quest for the truth, is going on again here, individually and collectively, among Seth, the would-be charismatic guru, Bob, the wanna-be artist and Tony, the social philosopher drunk, who share a Cambridge apartment, while what goes around comes around when "it's time to make the donuts".Confused? You ain't seen nothin' yet. Wait 'til you see the film! If you can find it, I highly recommend it.
The next to last clip in my resume reel at the bottom of the page is from the film.

Three reasons to love Brad Anderson
2. His films are thought provoking.
3. He's blazing a trail!
"Next Stop Wonderland"
In "Next Stop Wonderland", Hope Davis plays a Boston nurse who is abandoned by her boyfriend (Phillip Seymour Hoffman) and curiosity leads her to the blind-dating scene, when her mother (Holland Taylor) places an ad in the personals column of a local newspaper.Meanwhile, Alan Gelfant plays a nice guy who keeps breathing her air and yet they continue to miss hooking up.
Good supporting cast. Co-written by Lynn Vaus of "The Darien Gap", who appears as a phone date.
The film was a hit at Sundance in 1998. Producer Mitchell Robbins' subsequent negotiations with Harvey Weinstein for sale of the film to Miramax are the stuff of legend.
See it.

"The Machinist"
Brad further explores the idea of a character who can't tell if he's hallucinating, but is pretty sure he's not, which was a major device in "Session 9".Christian Bale plays a man who hasn't slept in a year.
Yeah, try to imagine THAT. The film follows his waking nightmare.
Outstanding!

"Transsiberian"
"Transsiberian" stars Woody Harrelson and Emily Mortimer as Roy and Jessie, an American couple who decide to head home from a visit to Peking, China via the legendary Trans-Siberian Railway.They meet another couple from the West, Carlos and Abby (Eduardo Noriega and Kate Mara), and form a quick friendship, but soon they begin to question whether the new couple are what they claim to be.
Things get more and more complicated with the appearance of the cops (Ben Kingsley and Thomas Kreschmann), mob figures and various other Russians.
As the saying goes, it's a thrill-ride.
