Film Festivals), and, here, the mentally challenged, yet, absolutely self-sufficient and rightfully optimistic Billy in 'An American Vampire in America.'   On stage, some of his favorite roles include Loafer in 'Poor Folks Pleasure' and Megs in 'Strange Snow.'   He's currently in rehearsals and production with Lame Dog Theatre, of which he is co-founder, in the Los Angeles area.
