Anson (Jed
Rees)
production
note : "We wanted a character who could be bad. The band members are
playing themselves, so they had to stay within what they do and what they
would be comfortable doing. A fictional character can do anything. Anson
is your wild rock star, but he's a sweet guy. He doesn't have a mean bone
in his body.He's sort of an
idiot savant. A great musician, but not very bright." Jed Rees studied music for two years in college before
transferring into Business Administration under the misconception that it
would teach him how to make money. In his final year in school, he
discovered acting and moved to New York City where he studied theatre for
two years. Rees is recognizable to film audiences from his role as Teb,
one of te Thermians, in the hit movie "Galaxy Quest". He has had
lead or co-starring roles in the feature film "Dudley Do-Right",
"Lake Placid", "Prisoner of Zenda Inc." "Fear",
and the television series' "The X-Files", "The Outer Limits"
and "Little Criminals" (the award winning CBC Movie). He
returned to New York to star in the Off Broadway production of "Two
Pianos Four Hands". Other theatre credits include productions at the
Arts Club Theatre ("Voice of Christmas") and Gastown Theatre
("Slam")
Another
chatacter in the show is Mona (Bobby Jo moore)
who staddles the line
between reality and imagination. Mona, the beautiful nude woman lounging
on the revolving circular sofa, serves as Chris's advisor in times of
trouble, an oracle that offers him sometimes-cryptic advice. In the real
Bimbo's, a legendary club in San Francisco, "Mona" is a model who,
thanks to an elaborate system of mirrors installed by a magician in the
1930's, appears to be swimming in an aquarium in the club.
The
band members have emerged as distinct characters within the show: Kenney,
the big, well-read Texan, is the philosopher, Roly is the artist, intense
and supertitious, and Hershel is the innocent who sees the best side of
people. Check out the Silvertone
page for more infos about the band.
