Having teamed with Purple Blanky Productions on both, "The Pretenders" and "The Familiar Unknown, " the actor is gearing up for a winter of filming!!

The actor who recently had a film in the Sundance film festival will play starring roles in both films. These will be the first Sci Fi films for the actor and he is extremely enthusiatic about the genre.
