Greetings! I'm a Tony Ruggieri fan. How did he get involved in your projects, and has he been a good guy to work with? Looking forward to Milo Freedman.
Cheers,
-Adam

Hi Adam,
Tony and I first worked together on Catwoman: Nine Lives in the fall of 2004. He worked only 2 or 3 days, but he was professional and dedicated (a rare quality in the mirco-budgeted world). But I've always been lucky with my castings. I only work with people who give me their best no-matter the budget. When it was time for me to come up with a new project, I knew I wanted Tony in it. So I dusted off an old outline for a feature called Hitman X ( The follow up to my feature "Death By Association") and I knew right there that Tony would be involved. I actually called him up and said that I was writing a character for him. He didn't believe me, till I told him the plot. Since I couldn't afford to do a feature, I made it a short instead. It sucks, cause I had to cut out a lot of stuff from the feature to make the short make sense.
Tony performed just as I expected on the set and beyond. He's awesome, and the final product shows it. I hope he gets the props for his role in 'The Death Of Milo Freedman'.
We will work together again, and hopefully I won't cast him as a Mob guy!
