Aka the Spirit of The Big Lebowski

A year ago I met Ryan Beatty for the first time in New York, right after there was a a man on stage, who shit on a pizza. As the highlight of his performance at the famous club the box, the artist eats the pizza. It´s a law: intense moments connect. We kept in touch and when I came to LA where Ryan moved, he suggested me to portray his friend Jeff Dowd, who is a film producer and a political activist best known as member of Seattle Seven. He went to jail following a violent protest against the Viertnam War.He met the Coen Brothers while they were promoting their first film, Blood Simple. He is the basis for one of their most popular characters, Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski from The Big Lebowski. And yes I can say, I met the real dude!
