This is Kaylon.In the story, gangsters fight back against corrupt cops who have stolen their drug money. Kaylon played one of those gangsters.
How he was cast for this role is an interesting story.
Kim and Richard (Producer and Director) were going to a late night meeting several days before shooting the Promotional. They were terribly frustrated with the poor turnout of actors auditioning for the gangster roles earlier that month, and both were frantically arguing about a possible quick solution.
"Where are we going to find a realistic looking gangster in this town?!" she complained. No sooner had the words left her lips when she pulled into the restaurant parking lot to see Kaylon crossing the path of her headlight beams.
Both Kim and Richard looked to each other in surprise. It seemed an answer to prayer. How much more "gangster" can one get?!
Kaylon laughs about seeing these two weirdos staring at him with wide eyes as he crossed in front of them.
He remembers stooping to pet someone's dog and then turning to see an amazingly attractive and well-dressed woman towering eagerly over him.
"You're not going to believe this, but do you want to be in a movie?"
"God!" Richard remembers thinking "With the way she approached, he probably thinks we're some eccentric sicko's wanting to film some sort of kinky porno flick!"
Without a violent bone in his body, and having never touched a gun in his life, Kaylon fulfilled the gangster role with skill!
