gangster life, and fears that his brother might be following the same
route. Deciding to make his thesis film on Muslims and violence, he is

Still in post production I guess..can't say anymore than that until it's out who knows when. www.threeframe.comLA PISTA SECRETA (The Secret Landing Strip)(2001): That was a fun project, shot entirely in Mexico and in spanish. We would be shooting sometimes till 4AM in some dark alley of Tijuana and some of the best mansions on top of beautiful hills. Ah, the food was always amazing though.... weird thing is that we had bodyguards and ecorts for fear of kidnapping....that kinda sucked a little...
It was worth it, I played 2 roles in that flick.
I got to be the head drug dealing bad guys' grandson which I spoke spanish and I played an Indian Assassin speaking Bangla. Jumped off a wall and attacked the hero...ofcourse I get killed in that movie....but it was the best fight of all!
Here's a little diddy...http://observer.guardian.co.uk/omm/story/0,,1304449,00.htmlTHREE KINGS (1999)(Mark Wahlberg, George Clooney, Ice Cube):
I was a 'pleader', five minutes into the film you see Mark Wahlberg holding this paper with cartoon characters on it depicting our submission to U.S. troops (I play an Iraqi soldier) and he says to me...'Sir, please take off your turban...blah blah blah" and then takes it off my head and throws it away..after 30 takes of that, man was I tired! There are other parts but it's minor. But it was all worth it...Yummy food, Great people (Warner Bros Studios), GOOD TIMES!
