Let's face it, this is probably the weakest piece in my entire catalog. It was still the early days of the internet, and in my curious explorations I discovered that gay skinheads were a thing. I decided that I wanted to do a piece featuring someone of that inclination, and the story would revolve around learning who he was and that he was not about racism. I shaved my head and played around with the look. Unfortunately I didn't spend enough time on the script. Not nearly. It could have been a provocative and enlightening piece, but that would have taken a lot of work, and I didn't invest the time. In the end it was just me and two others who basically improvised the conversation, and it didn't turn out well at all. The only up side of the whole endeavor was that it gave me the look and the redneck accent that I used for "G*I*J*O" which turned out to be my breakout performance. Beyond that, this video would be better forgotten.
