| Marty
Adobato as the Snitch |
| 
|
We
had a lot of fun with Marty Adobato shooting his scenes in the
Mob Boss murder sequence. He's pictured here at the R&R
bar about to tip off the Hit Men on where the Mob Boss is. |

| Todd
Baker as Hotel Owner # 1 |
|
Todd
Baker looked great as our Hotel Owner # 1, all ready for business
as he sits in Room 8 apparently going over the hotel's books.
We had an interesting time with this piece in post production,
as it was a fairly quick clip - so we added some flare in special
effects. |

|
| Brian
Corcoran as Hotel Owner # 2 |
 |
Brian
Corcoran had multiple roles in the shoot. On top of work as
Costume Designer and Special Effects Artist, in his role as
Hotel Owner # 2, he had to play two different ages. He is pictured
here as the younger version of himself, and in the film you
will also see him as the aging Hotel Owner # 2 as he lies dying
in bed in Room 8. Brian could also be seen giving a helping
hand to crew when needed - whether it was moving furniture to
accomodate a shot or assisting with equipment getting into place. |

| Kyle
Halteman as Boy Ghost |
 |
Kyle
Halteman took his direction very well in the several scenes
he appears in - and once kicked a ball that hit the camera #
1 tripod. Well, we reshot the sequence. He's pictured here reviewing
his dailies with crewmember Shannon Boyle. |
|
|
| Trasera
Halteman as Girl Ghost |
 |
Trasera
Halteman is pictured here in her big scene as the Ghost Runner
where she "appears" at the cash register in the R&R
Restaurant. She also appears in several other sequences and
in the film you will see her vanish more than once. |

| Doug
Hauser as the Milk Man |
 |
Doug
Hauser is pictured here in what I think is his most classic
pose - complete in 1950s milkman garb with his glass bottles
as he attempts to make a delivery in this fatal scene. The milkman
accident scene meant shutting down two streets and involved
a lot of special effects to pull off. |

| Richard
Hauser as Hit Man # 2 |
|
Richard
Hauser played the perfect Hit Man - he took orders from the
director very well - and without giving away the plot, let's
just say he got the job done. The cigar was a nice touch. And
his casual pat on the Snitches' back as he leaves the R&R
bar to do what he has to do - steals the scene. |

| Robert
Hauser as Hit Man # 1 |
 |
Robert
Hauser also pulls off the perfect and stable Hit Man who apparently
takes his Tommy Gun wherever he goes. He drives the Cadillac
in the opening sequence and assists with what has to be done
to the Mob Boss. |

| Diana
Lucia as Hit Man Girlfriend |
 |
Diana
Lucia appears in multiple scenes, but is the character who discovers
the Mob Boss body shortly after the murder. You'll never guess
what she does. We got a workout that day as we did three takes
to get it right. |
|
|
| Jerry
Lucia as the Mob Boss |
 |
Jerry
Lucia has a memorable role as the Mob Boss who gets whacked
in Room 16. Sherry provided all that cash for the scene, and
boy was it tempting, but I think it was all returned. |
|
|
 |
Liz
Jordan got down and crazy during the "rotation" sequene
in Room 17. We actually shot that piece four times and Liz gets
the prize for working under such dizzy conditions. |
|
|
| Patty
Santmyer as the Victorian Lady |
 |
Patty
Santmyer was elegant in her role as the Victorian Lady - making
a charming appearance in several scenes, especially the one
pictured here as she strolls down a hotel hallway all dressed
up, but no where to go. |
|
|
 |
Ruth
Peterson is pictured here posing for cast photos. She appears
as the Top Hat Man's girlfriend in Room 2. Apparently her ghost
steps in for visits, but never stays. We assume she's roaming
the halls when not in Room 2. |
|
|
| Regis
Sofranko as the Groper |
 |
Regis
Sofranko did a superb job of coming out of the shadows in Room
7 and climbing into bed with Donna Sofranko. We added some errie
effects in editing to keep the two of the them in a "dark"
world. |
|
|
| Ray
Wingrove as the Top Hat Man |
 |
Ray Wingrove played
the Top Hat Man very well. He also assisted in many other production
duties, including drawing floor plans for the direcor, and pouring
frosted mugs of beer in late-night meetings. Very appreciated. |
