TELLING LIES
- IN AMERICA -

BRAD played Karchy Jonas in Telling Lies in America. Telling Lies was released on October 17, 1997. It co-starred Kevin Bacon, Maximilian Schell, and Calista Flockhart. Karchy is a 17-year old Hungarian who comes to America in the early 1960's and has trouble fitting in with his private Catholic high school classmates in Cleveland. During payola times, Karchy idolizes local radio DJ Billy Magic (Kevin Bacon) and the two form a bond. The independent film was well-reviewed, but was only seen by a limited audience. The film was written by acclaimed screenwriter Joe Eszterhas, in what appears to be a semi-autobiographical story. Directed by Guy Ferland, Telling Lies was first seen earlier in October as a selected film part of the New York Film Festival. Banner Films, 1997, PG-13, 101 mins.
