Well, it's not what you think but I do have your attention now, right?
Brenna Lee Roth plays my wife in Ray Basham's new Indie feature "Hillbilly Bob Zombie". The irreverent comedy zombie film lampoons hillbilly life and is currently filming in Mount Vernon, Ohio.
This is my first film with Brenna. She has a great filmography and was a member of the Emmy-winning ensemble cast of CSI. She has worked on both independently-produced films (like this one) and "big-budget" features.
Ray Basham is an award-winning illustrator and cartoonist. "Hillbilly Bob Zombie" is his second film. He has also written and directed a short called "Killer" which was featured on the Chiller cable channel. Ray and I have both worked as actors in "Wicked Business", "Abe's Tomb", "Icabod", "Mountain Mafia", and "I Am Legend". I shared a table with Ray at the Dark X-mas Horror Convention in 2006, where I met Brenna. And while Ray and I have worked together in five other projects, this is our first project where Ray has written, produced, directed, filmed, and has also provided the set-building, special effects and makeup services, too.
Mount Vernon band, Elixer, performed for the movie and wrote the title song for it.
Now, let me justify my claim to have slept with Brenna: The first night of filming, we filmed into the wee hours of the morning and Ray invited Brenna and I to sleep in his house. He had one of those "L"-shaped sofas and we fell asleep. Still, it is fun to be able to say, "I slept with Brenna Lee Roth!"
