The other movie is going to be submitted to that Spielberg show (the one that is like American idol but for amateur filmmakers) where I will be playing a hulking evil character in a post apocalyptic world where water is sparse. I fight the hero for half a gallon of dirty water.
You're going to be in Tank Girl? I thought they already made that movie.
I'm sensing a trend here...but I'm fine with this trend. That guy that played shaokahn in MK 2 probably makes 100s of thousands a year and lives a great life, but then you add in my sensitive side that loves kittens and such and I might be able to transcend being the evil character and realize my destiny as a true star so that one day just like Ron Pearlman I can squeeze a lime into my eye, drink the tequila straight up, and take home the 19 yr old girl. He's like 40 right? God Bless America.
Looking at his resume he has mostly been in guest starring roles on TV and low budget flops. I have doubts he makes a lot of dough and might have to do the sci-fi circuit to make the rent.
You know if you don't want to be typecast you may want to change your image. I mean if you are a big bald muscle bound guy...then they are going to put you in roles that fit big bald muscle bound guys. Which are usually Villains, Henchmen, and Sidekicks. Which ironically enough is what I'd use you for. I'd bulk down a little...re-grow your hair and trying shooting for more normal roles, and less ones involving post apocalyptic worlds or pimps. Not saying that to be mean, I just don't think you'll be anything more then the villain/Henchman/Sidekick till you change how you approach a role. I mean if you came to me and said "Rama, you think you could write a part for me in your next project." the best I could give you is a low level enforcer that the hero actually beats up. Sort of that overcoming the odds thing. Because with the way you look, it's about all I'd have for you. But if you weren't so huge and at least looked a little more average...I could put you in a lot of different roles. Ones with lines even!
