Tell us a little bit about yourself, your background, highlights of your career so far, how you got into this crazy business, and how you became involved with the movie.
Chuck: Well I was born in Hammond, IN. And at 12 years old my family moved to Chicago and at 18 I moved to L.A to pursue acting. Acting isn’t something I always wanted to do. I really wanted to fly jets in the Air Force. Acting kind of just happened. I have had a blessed career so far. I have been able to support myself solely from acting for the past 6 years. I thank God for that.
As for how I got involved, that’s easy, I AUDITIONED!
Tell us about your role in the movie.
CC: I play Stooley, who is a bit of a dork but a pretty intelligent guy. I like to think Stooley had some sex appeal but that’s just me. Ha.
In your own words, what is the film about?
CC: There’s a blood sucking wormy leachy thing taking over people and controlling them. It is on the loose in the town and a brave few must battle them.
What is it like working on a low budget films?
CC: Honestly, I really enjoy them. There isn't as much drama on set and the people are there because the want to be. It’s not about the money it’s about the story and how it is told. Sometimes there is more heart in low budget films. So I enjoyed it a lot.
Did you learn anything about yourself or others from the experience?
CC: You learn more about yourself with every project you do. Sometimes good things and sometimes bad. But you also learn about other people on the set. Everyone on the 9-9-09 set was terrific and I would work with all of them again given the chance.
What does it mean to you to be infected?
CC: It means you’re screwed. Or does it..?
How was the casting process?
CC: Awesome, so much fun and casting was terrific.
How did you work on the arc of your character?
CC: By being a dorkier version of myself. Wasn’t too difficult.
