Sirry Jons
a.k.a. Sirry Kidd
Sirry Jons, a native of Iceland, discovered acting by chance when she was cast as a femme fatale in a small but pivotal role in the indie film "Usss".
After that she knew she had to leave Iceland and head for Los Angeles. She had neither money, nor connections, nor a work permit, but that didn't deter her. She overcame all these obstacles one by one and has since appeared in numerous short films (such as "Patriot Acts" and "Alien Secrets"), plays (including "Dracula" and "The Father") and features (most recently "A Gothic Romance") .
It was whilst studying at the Lee Strasberg theater and film institute that she met director Marianne Hansen and the part of "Alice" was specifically written with her in mind after the two worked together on two plays.
Chad Doreck
500 actors submitted themselves for the role of "Peter", and after a string of auditions and call backs the role finally went to Chad Doreck.
A native of LA, Chad began acting at an early age with his first job opposite Kelly LeBrock in "Weird Science". He attended the Orange County H.S. of the Arts while pursuing a career in film, tv, stage and recording.
Film credits include "Death Without Consent" and "The Brady Bunch in the White House". TV roles include "NYPD Blue", "Navy NCIS" and "Touched by an Angel". Stage work includes "Gidget" (Dir. Francis Ford Coppola), "Summer and Smoke" and "Mythomania".
He is also an accomplished voice actor, winning the 2005 WIN award for best actor in animation and recently finished his first funk album.
Sean Sweeney
Sean Sweeney is a native of Detroit, but like many other actors before (and after) him, he came to Los Angeles to be where the movie action is.
He has been acting since he was a teenager and over the years has been seen on many TV shows including "Once and Again", "Charmed" and "Lizzie McGuire" as well as over 100 commercials around the world.
Currently he has lead roles in the feature films "Dead in Texas" and "Love Comes to the Executioner" which are making the festival rounds.
On the stage he has numerous off-broadway and regional theatre credits, including "Marvin's Room" and "T-Bone & Weasel" and he has performed sketch comedy with Second City in Los Angeles.
He recently finished shooting "Patriot Acts", a film he wrote and co-directed.
