Mystery Photos

 Here's a lovely photo of me from the popular high school reunion plot, "Ridgeview High." I'm playing Arthur Gianelli, confirmed nerd. My traditional Arthur get-up includes taped glasses, high-water pants and my Star Trek tie. I annoy the hell out of everyone with this character, which of course means that I love him.

"Ridgeview High" was the first murder mystery in which I performed, and on that occasion, I was the former football quarterback. As you can see from my physique, that was rather absurd casting. One of the guests at the dinner tried to trip me up with questions about football, which is very easy to do, since I know little and care less. Furthermore, I had to "threaten" an Arthur who towered over me.

Fortunately, sanity has won out and I've been properly recast as the nerd on several occasions. For some reason, the part comes naturally to me.

That white shape in front of me is actually the tablecloth-covered "corpse." I don't know what I'm saying here, but it sure looks dramatic. Our "investigator," Billy Club, makes an accusation or, more likely, a wise-ass comment.

A happy pair of millionaires. Surrounded by sorority girls. Man, my life is tough.

 

"Deadly Addiction" Photos
Nichelle Kilman cuts a stunning figure at the movie post-premiere party. Hollywood agent Sal Wycoff is overwhelmed by events. (Or perhaps she simply wants to be near the bar.)
Mal Gibbons attempts to "cast" one of the guests. Was it too much to drink, or was it...murder?
A candlelight vigil for the fallen. A row of guilty-looking suspects.
