After posting two brief blurbs about two of the cast for the film, some of you started asking questions about who they were. I apologize for those brief posts that did not really provide any real info, other than the fact that the parts had been cast. So, today I am correcting that a bit by putting up some more information on one of our cast, specifically Ossey James. I will be doing the same for the actress, Laura Niemeyer, who is portraying Julia within a day or so.
Ok for those of you who do not know Ossey, he is an up and comer whose talents include acting, modeling, singing as well as songwriting. He is originally from Chicago, but moved to Los Angeles to expand his career opportunites. Born with a passion for music, he plays both six string and bass guitar, and the piano. He began writing songs and music around the age of thirteen and has not stopped since. His talent in this field has allowed him to work with several Grammy nominated producers and artists, as well as talent from Atlantic and Universal Records. Being the sole member of his family involved in this career field, he jokingly labels himself a "black sheep" of sorts.
He started to pursue a career in acting when he was 19, taking up training at Actone Studios and the Chicago Actors Studio, as well as countless hours of self study. Before getting into film and commercial work, he loved performing in live stage theatre, and was a gold medalist for acting at the World Championship of Performing Arts. Ossey has had the opportunity to work with A-listers such as actor Vince Vaughn and director/producer Ron Howard. He has also done various commercials for big name companies like Nintendo and Apple spoofs.
He continues to write music, act as well as model, and we are excited to have added him to our cast for the film. We chose Ossey for his unique voice and his almost scarey resemblance to the voice of Wolfstead that has been in my head since the start of this project.
