GMMB 01.06 - The Showdown

This blog can now be found in its expanded, video form HERE

Andras Jones seems like the perfect guy to cast as Deke Simmons in this episode. His acting credits before the show: Nightmare on Elm Street 4 and Sorority Babes in the Slime Bowl-o-Rama. Both horror movies. He is certainly a brooding force here.
I can't help but laugh at that one movie title. Sorority Babes in the Slime Bowl-o-Rama. The tagline: "In a bowling alley from Hell, there's only one way to score..."

He appeared in other horror/thriller type movies before stepping back from movies and television to create and host a radio program called Radio8Ball. The program accepts callers and then plays supposedly random songs, which Andras then uses to divine a solution for the caller. It has been likened to audio tarot. He has also published a book called "Accidental Initiations: In the Kabbalistic Tree of Olympia." Another thing: he plays music and has toured with his band, which is either called the Previous or Previously Yours. He supposedly has a few albums under his belt.

So, good job, casting director, in finding a brooding, complicated young man to play Deke. Nevermind the fact that he looks five years older than the rest of the student cast...
