Q: You’ve been lovingly referred to as Mr. Horror, do you think that’s a fitting nickname? A: Every time I look in the mirror I know it is fitting! My face is scarred, and I was born with a weird body. I used to be ashamed of my appearance, but in horror it has all become an asset. In horror the misfits and the oddities of this world are the ones on top. In what other film genre is being called "that guy with the creepy torso" a good thing? In what other genre can an actor take what he is ashamed of and make it a trademark? I am proud to be associated with horror. I love it with all my creepy heart. Q: Do you have any terrifying new projects in the works? Anything you have recently filmed and excited about? A: Yes, I do! My next scheduled feature release is Children Of Sorrow from director Jourdan McClure. It's set in a desert cult where my character Father Simon gathers his followers. Really skin-crawling stuff. The trailer is getting a thousand views a day on YouTube, so that is a good sign of fan interest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW_FRa5HhNE
I invite those with an interest to check out my IMDb page http://www.imdb.com/name/ nm2454994/ I am always delighted to hear from fans with comments good or bad. I answer my own mail and I consider the audience to be my boss. So let me know how I'm doing. http://www.billoberst.com/
