This was the first feature in
which I played the lead.  I lost
20 pounds to play the role,
mostly muscle, to give my
character the drawn-out, weak
feel and look of Johnny, an
alcoholic loser. We actually shot
this film while driving
cross-country from Brooklyn to
Las Vegas.

It's a modern Film Noir/Dark
Comedy, which many
reviewers
compared to the early work of
director Jim Jarmusch.

I've
begged the director to let
me release it on DVD, so far to
no avail.
