Should have taken creepier headshots. These ones scream "I probably get killed in the first scene."

Our friend Karen is writing the screenplay for a movie to be filmed at her birthday party this year. We wanted to show her our enthusiasm for the project, and provide her with our headshots and updated theater resumes, in the hopes that we might be well cast. It's going to be a horror movie, but I'm sure she'll be able to see how our 'HMS Gospel' experience uniquely qualifies us for a creepy supporting hand puppet role, at least. If you similarly find yourself in need of thoroughly amateur actors or slightly less amateurish musicians for your next birthday party, please consider hiring us.
