About Me

I'm a veteran entertainer whose career began in the 1970s. A few of my distinctions are:The World's Loudest DrummerCreator of the dance music genre known today as "Freestyle"Most Famous Bear DrummerI backed 2006 OutMusician of the Year Robert Urban on drums at the 2006 OutMusic Awards in New York CityOne of my movies, "Real Magic" (2006), where I played the pot smoking biker, Brian, won Best Picture and my co-star, Diana Masi, the Jury Award for Best Actress at the NYC Home Film Festival in America, then went on to win Best Cinematography for our DP, Boaz Freund, at another festival in CanadaThe Ray-Ban "Never Hide" commercial, where I appeared as the naked bear fixing his car, won great notices at the Cannes Film Festival, 2007, in FranceNominated "Best Musician" at the 2007 Bear Music Awards in NashvilleSecond screen actor to portray Zangief"Street Fighter: The Later Years" was nominated for Best Series at the 2008 YouTube AwardsI worked as a stand-up comic for years before I did music full time. I'd always acted on stage, on film and in television so, when my music career cooled off, I went into acting more aggressively and was, by then, playing mainly bad guys but also edgy father figures.I became most famous this decade as Drummer Bear, the popular nude model for the bear community worldwide of which I am also a member. DrummerBear.com has held its own list of distinctions since then.Today, my biggest claim to fame is that I star as the hairy Russian Wrestler and Street Fighter legend, Zangief, in the phenomenally successful hit series, "Street Fighter: The Later Years" (CHTV). My fame as Drummer Bear has now been completely overshadowed by Zangief! On the streets I am addressed mainly as Zangief now. I am slated to reprise the role in its new TV spin-off, "Street Fighter Reunion", which is currently in production.Drummer Bear (Mike Fass) Zangief from "Street Fighter: The Later Years" and "Street Fighter Reunion" http://www.zangiefzone.ning.com http://www.streetfighterthelateryears.com http://www.drummerbear.com http://www.mikefass.com http://www.myspace.com/drummer_bear------------------------- ----------------------------------
