Michael Reed, Actor

MySpace Layouts MySpace Codes MySpace Backgrounds

Born in Chandler, Arizona, in 1976. The year of the Dragon.Chosen by the Gods to be the runt in a traveling band of gypsies. Spent his youth in Arizona, Texas, Virginia, Germany and the cold university towns of Michigan. Early years marked by a mammoth collection of GI-Joes, He-Man figures, a Huffy bike, a wardrobe full of hand-me-down rayon shirts, and the perfect, concrete hair-wave. Bestowed with honors by his high school theatre classes and, it should be noted, the recipient of several competitive acting awards. To his dismay, these stellar achievments were overshadowed by a few lowly weekend football games. Vowing revenge and armed with a video camera, Michael took refuge in a series of epic claymation movies and one-man garage performances which await an official PentaWorks release. Travelled the byways America in a cramped yet homey pull-camper, hoping to find himself, but instead found heavy drinking and several great locations for deliberate isolation. Took a brief repose in Michigan, where he studied theater, graphic illustration, and design while starring as a book store guy, a temp, a waiter, and a painter.
Currently a resident of Riverside, Rhode Island.

NUN OF THAT (48hr Film Fest version)--a 48hr film project done by Scorpio Film Releasing. I really enjoyed working on this production. Each team was given the same prop, character, and line of dialog. And each team selected a genre from a hat. Our genre was 'holiday.' As soon as we knew our genre, we had 48hrs to write, shoot, and edit.
LIVING DEAD WORLD TRAILER --zombies rise from the grave and consume the flesh of the damned. A solid indie-Zed movie starring your's truly.

ECSTATIC NOISE--a secret society of people all living together are brainwashed by a sexy DJ and his pill-pushing Gestapo. Only one man can infiltrate the household and stop the madness. Me. Directed by Javier Dampierre.

*BELOW* are two shorts from "PAUSE & RECORD"--a DVD compilation of home-movies shot from 1991-1995. Bare in mind, these shorts are shot on VHS, are all edited on the fly (hence the title 'pause & record'), and all dialog is completely improvised.
"The Bad Mime", from the home-movie compilation "PAUSE & RECORD".
Something to know about 'The Bad Mime': prior to recording video, we walked around the house with a tape recorder, and recorded a string of sound effects representing a series of events. Then after only three rehearsals, we recorded the video as I listened to the audio playback live as I performed.
