Interview with actor
"Mike Lane"
 2006
 
 

Hey there Mike, nice to have you here. I've heard several good things about your acting, could you tell me when did you become interested in acting? Good to be here.  I've been interested in acting since I was kid.  I used to make my own movies with my parent's VHS camera and acted a few times in classroom skits at school but I didn't start to pursue it seriously until after graduating college.

Who was your inspiration?

I don't have a specific person who inspired me to act.  It's been a combination of great movies and performances that I have watched over the years.

Some examples are the "Star Wars " saga, "Dawn of the Dead " (1978),  "Dead Poets Society"  and "Glory".

As far as performances, I loved Samuel L. Jackson in "Pulp Fiction" , Patrick Stewart in "Star Trek: First Contact"  and Frances McDormand in "Fargo"  to name a few.

My family, especially my father, inspired me to try to earn a living by doing something that I enjoy as opposed to working at a horrible job just to make money.

What are your future projects and what role will you be playing in them? I have a lead role in the internet sitcom "After Ours " and principal roles in the audio dramas "The Age of the Swords", "Conquest of the Empire" and "Freighting"

I also act in industrials and go to the Chiller Theatre and Fangoria conventions to promote "The Tenement"  (lead role of Jimmy Wayne Garrick) from Light and Dark Productions as well as other titles by Brain Damage Films ( "The Tenement’s"  distributor).  I have other projects lined up but they have not been confirmed so I don't want to announce them yet.

Recent updates can always be found on my website:

Tell me about your role in "The Bood Shed?" I play Hubcap, a member of a sick, twisted, demented inbred
family called the Bullions. He is not all there. I would describe him as a homicidal Forrest Gump with a lazy eye. 


Is there a trailer for the film? A disturbing behind the scenes clip can be viewed at:

  
 

One last question, what was the most horrific film that you've seen?

"The Shining" with Jack Nicholson, "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and "The Exorcist" were movies that scared the crap out of me. Medusa from "Clash of the Titans" and the Wicked Witch from "The Wizard of Oz"  gave me nightmares. Even though "Seven" (or Se7en) is not really considered a horror movie I found it very disturbing.

 

 

Thank you very much, Mike and I hope to see you in the movies.


Thank you!
