Nope, that was me with Mark Steven Grove (who you've probably seen in a dozen movies without knowing it; there's a couple of movies where every single person who does a physical stunt is Mark in a different outfit--"Three Ninjas, High Noon at Mega Mountain" was one of those; nobody else that they hired for the stunts could do them), Norman Dehm, Sam Del Rio (incredibly talented and great "look," but he keeps turning down movie roles lately), and Justin McQueede, who's now with Cirque Du Soleil (also amazingly talented).

One of those movies that will probably never see the light of day.

(Bear in mind, I don't come up with these movies. I'm the guy the director tells to "run 20 feet that way, look behind you like there's something dangerous chasing you (we'll film whatever it is next week when we can come up with something), then do a "clothesline" into a feet-first dive over these cinderblocks, fire two shots back at it, and say, 'now you're toast!'" Then I do that. Twenty times. Thirty if the director just isn't sure what he wants, or they want to do a bunch of different angles and slow-motion with only one camera.)

It wasn't that misleading--it really was an out-of-the-blue call from a friend I hadn't heard from in years, and at the time of the bikini woodworking incident, we'd never been anything but friends. That had been an out-of-the-blue thing, too. The more-than-friends part came later, followed abruptly by her getting married and moving to Germany, but that was ten years ago.

Regardless, the whole thing sounded so much like a stereotype of a "Penthouse Letters" submission that I had to tell *somebody*. It was a moral imperative. 😉

Ah, but how? She's gone, along with the massage table, and we ate the steak; for some reason, I never had the urge to say, "wait! stop what you're doing while I go get a camera set up." Now, she did call again fairly last night and left a message on my machine while I was down in the server room, so you never know, she might be stopping by again sometime.

The rest is awfully vague for true major pwnage, though it's incredibly easy to verify that my entire freaking identity isn't simply made up (re: Doboji's "shens" accusation). For starters, I do have a list with some of the media coverage I get; you can always track down some of the magazines and newspapers in question. Then there's all the behind-the-scenes pictures at the different movie sets and international film markets. I keep up a pretty steady dribble of those in my blog/journal/whatever--at least *there* it's a little less rude to ask people to stop for a sec while you take a picture.

Obviously, I've got trailers, clips, my music video, etc., up on the net, but this is all low-budget stuff. (To get an idea of *how* low-budget we're talking about, you can take a look at a little "action demo reel" (wmv, 9.5meg) I threw together the other day--though, to be fair, a *lot* of stuff I don't have footage from myself, so I have to work with what I've been able to get copies of. I need to redo it with sounds effects, too, but you'll get the idea.)

Low-budget or not, it's a lot of fun. It's like getting paid for playing role-playing games. You battle opponents (and, occasionally, monsters), you blow things up (*safely*, please note), and that kind of stuff.

Not really.
This is the first time I've seen him post something like this.
If it wasn't for the Nik thread, alot of us wouldn't know much about the guy.

That's because those who really "have it", don't flaunt it, and those who need to flaunt it don't really "have it".

This guy probably has more cash than 99.9% of ATOT's, but you don't see him posting threads like "Should I get a BMW M3, a Mercedes, or a G35?". Most of the ones that do ask that make about $15 an hour, lol. It's not that they have money, it's that they lack money management skills.

Heh, I never thought he bragged, the setup was just so cliché porn like that it all seemed really funny. Like the situation that will never happen IRL, did happen IRL, sort of. 🙂

Fair enough... but you can't tell me after the bikini incident that you didnt know SOMETHING was up.

On other topics... I assume you do a ton of lifting... and I guess riding is your cardio. I've got the muscle mass... (benched 445 yesterday) but I havent found a good cardio plan I can stick to. How often do you ride, and how far?

That one's a thriller, though it does have its share of nude scenes and what I expect will be some sex scenes edited appropriately for an R rating. Here's another behind-the-scenes pic (I had to photoshop it to make it safe for work).

I did do a series of "educational videos" for the TSA, which now gives me the fear when going through airports that I'll get "recognized" as an international terrorist because I'd been playing one in their training videos. No nudity in those, however.
 
Trygve, have you ever seen Future War? It's a B movie, and when you consider B movies it's actually not bad. The IMDB rating isn't that flattering though. Anyway, when I think of the movies you do I usually think of a movie like Future War. And I think that is cool. If you haven't seen it you should watch it, you might like it for what it's worth.

Edit: And Robert Z'Dar has a HUGE lower face. 🙂

I've always wondered, how do you pronounce your name? 😕

I'll check it out--I'd be happy to do a movie like that. I like doing stuff that's fun (one of my absolute faves is "Big Trouble in Little China") and there's a market for it. At the last American Film Market, in eight solid days of negotiating with international and domestic film buyers, I was only able to get *one* buyer to look at *one* trailer from our drama collection, and even that took some arm-twisting. On the other hand, I could have sold our B-movie action titles three times over to some territories. Film buyers never ask, "is it a good movie"; they want to see something fast-paced and exciting that they believe they can sell.

And you're right--Robert Z'Dar looks like he's already spent three hours getting the prosthetic makeup put on for Nightbreed II (or something like that). Comes in handy for some roles, I'm sure, but it could have drawbacks the rest of the time.

My training is so variable; I'll concentrate on the weights for a while (and do very little cardio) and then there will be times when I'll bike for hours every day (and cut back on the weights, at least on lower body). The weird thing about long-distance biking for me is that, though it takes a while for me to work up to doing long rides, when I do a whole lot of riding, it fixes up whatever pains I might have in my joints. Longest I'll ever do frequently is 150 miles (flat, level, paved trail), but most summers I'll only hit a couple of 100-mile rides and a few 50-milers. All depends on my schedule and what's going on, because long rides take quite a bit of time (though I sleep less when I'm doing a lot of riding, so I get more work done at night then).

It's like "TREEG-vah." The 'e' at the end of a word makes an "ah" or "uh" sound.
