Bryan
Marshall
A native of Asheville, North Carolina, Bryan is a long-haul trucker,
small business owner, and lead singer of one of Western North Carolina’s
most popular bands, the badass classic country combo Bryan Marshall
and the Gone Wrongs. A graduate of Warren Wilson College, Bryan has
appeared in numerous stage productions, and as Gene in Paul Schattel's
first feature, 78. Sinkhole is his first lead role
in a feature film. Having recently signed with an agent, Bryan is
one of North Carolina’s most intriguing, upcoming talents.
Robin
Spriggs
While his credits in theatre include Hamlet, Romeo and a surplus of
other classic heroes, Robin's on-screen characterizations—evidenced
in such films as Double Threat, Raw Justice and
I’ll Fly Away—have proven less savory. Further
displaying his versatility, Robin has appeared as the Joker in Time-Warner’s
live-action Batman Stunt Spectacular and as George Jetson in the official
kickoff of Cable TV’s Cartoon Network. An accomplished and celebrated
author, Robin has written two books and been published in numerous
anthologies and magazines. His latest volume, Wondrous
Strange: Tales of the Uncanny, was short-listed for the prestigious
Bram Stoker Award, cited for honors in "The Year’s Best
Fantasy and Horror" and continues to haunt the dreams of readers
worldwide. Visit Robin's very interesting site here.
Kelly
O’Neal
With credits ranging from Shakespeare and experimental theatre to
film (Kleptomania) and TV (I’ll Fly Away),
Kelly's been seen in more places—and in more fictional situations—than
any mere mortal should. Not content just to act, Kelly was an original
member of Atlanta’s funk extravaganza, Superchick & Goodpussy,
and has been a featured singer with such musical groups as the Vidalias
and Hound Dog Handsome. Eager to prove her lack of artistic focus,
Kelly also paints: Her work has been exhibited in numerous galleries
and graced the covers of several publications, including Wondrous
Strange: Tales of the Uncanny and Asheville Poetry Review.
J.R. Hooper
One of Western North Carolina's most sought-after character actors,
Hooper has stolen almost every scene in which he's appeared. Having
won several acting awards in high school, he landed the role of Joe
Bob in Joshua P. Warren's seminal North Carolina indie, Inbred
Rednecks. Since then, Hooper has appeared in more than a dozen
films and commercials, including 78, Lightning Mountain,
Brother Cellophane, Long Way Down, and more. A talented
writer and director, Hooper is in development on a film project of
his own, the horror comedy Creeps.
