John Philbrick costars with Gale in WAKE, and was kind enough to share some information with the Gale Harold Fan Site about his experience on the film. John's synopsis and related commentary below are courtesy of Heather/West.

John plays Jack, one of four brothers in a VERY dysfunctional family. The brothers reunite at their boyhood home to celebrate their dead father's birthday. One brother (Ray) has broken out of prison to attend -- Jack has helped him and is plotting another robbery to finance film careers for them and the two strippers he shows up with. Gale's character, the youngest brother Kyle, is a mechanic who has spent time in a mental hospital and is trying to stay off the bottle. The fourth brother, Sebastian, has never left the family home. He takes care of their invalid, alcoholic mother and is trying to write a book while scheming with Kyle to kill the mother for the father's insurance money. Confused yet? *wink*

John says the film was one of those magical experiences that happen every once in a great while. All of the people connected with it, cast and crew, turned out to be just the right mix of talents and personalities and the end product was far better than anyone anticipated.
