The Cast

Our attractive and talented cast. If you want to hire them, do it now, before "Zorg and Andy" hits and their rates go through the roof.

Some of the cast have yet to supply biographies, in which case the producers have made something up.

Scott Ganyo -- Andy

Scott

Born in North Dakota to a Presbyterian Minister, Scott Ganyo started his career on the stage. His big break came when he joined the Actor's Theater of Indiana for their production of Forever Plaid. Nuvo Magazine called Scott's performance "impressive" and the Indianapolis Star raved that he "sings like an angel."

Scott soon turned his focus to film and quickly landed his first role in Woodworks Films' Open Mic'rs . Supporting roles followed - most notably the award-winning Foxxy Madonna vs the Black Death where Scott played Gabriel, a hit man who learns that a virus of biblical proportions was to to be unleashed on the masses. It wasn't long, though, before Scott's strong work and reputation lead to his being consistently cast as the leading man. His everyman and family quality lead to great roles in Kate Chaplin's First They Came for..., Jakob Bilinski's Shade of Grey and countless television commercials. Not afraid to explore new acting territory, Scott has taken on roles as diverse as a drug addict, a priest, a serial killer and even The Caped Crusader.

Trained at the Phoenix Theater, Millikin University, and ComedySportz among others, Scott is one of the most driven, professional actors working nationally.

    Kate Rudd -- Jen

    Kate

    Kate Rudd was born June 30, 1980, in coastal Western Michigan. As a child she loved entertaining friends and family with characters and impersonations. She performed with her high school drama group and loved acting, but after graduation planned to pursue a career in music. After the birth of her second daughter in 2003, Kate decided on impulse to travel with her five week old infant to an island for her first film audition. While unsuccessful in obtaining a part, she was fascinated by the experience, and became thoroughly bitten by the acting bug. Soon she was cast in a local play, and felt certain that she had found her vocation. Immediately she began balancing auditions and study with raising young children. Film roles in "The Dread," "Zorg and Andy," and "Stick in the Mud" followed.

    Most recently, Kate represents LA-based motion picture company Safe Harbor Productions in Michigan. While she is thrilled to gain new experience as a producer, acting continues to be her pursuit and passion.

        Sally Weatherston -- Dr. Harpax

        Sally

        "Sally came up with a take on this character that was genuinely spooky and comedic at the same time. She's too modest to say anything here, so we'll say it ourselves: We love Sally."

          Trevor Fanning -- Pete

          Trevor

          Trevor is thrilled (while on the Zoloft at least), to be making his film debut in "Zorg and Andy," but more importantly and (truly honestly), to have worked with Guy, Quentin, and Paula, et al. Trevor met Guy and Quentin while working at Wabash College - where they immediately took note of his acting prowess, and wrote a vehicle for said talent: the all-aquatic version of Lorca's BERNARDA ALBA. Hailed in Spanish speaking circles in Evansville and Terre Haute, the underwater drama won the hearts, and threw the skeptics for a loop, and set Trevor on a unique acting career, which led, obviously, to this latest venture, a honest-to-goodness film. When not writing his bio, Trevor teaches Theology at a Jesuit high school.

            Ben Ayres -- Stuart

            Ben

            Ben Ayres resides in Indianapolis and works as an actor and teacher of creative dramatics.

              Nick Kraynak was born on the July 10th 1986 in Indianapolis, IN. In the fourth grade he began performing with the drama program at Speedway United Methodist Church, he's been addicted to the theater ever since. During his youth Nick was bitten by a Moose during a family trip to the region of Caspiar and hasn't been able to *face* life the same way since. Mind you, moose bites can be very nasty. This is a joke, of course, Nick was never attacked by an animal of any sort. He is a Sophomore at Wabash College in Crawfordsville, IN where he is studying Theater and Religion. He enjoys long walks on the beach, candlelit dinners, and being sung to sleep by his parakeet, Wilbur.

                    Marco

                    "Marco Noyola has no time for biographies! He's too busy! Stage! Screen! Art! Design! Science! He's the total package. Someone marry him right now!"

                      Douglas Weatherston -- Cultist Bert

                      Douglas

                      "Doug learned German just for this project. German is hard. If that's not dedication, I'm not sure what else I can tell you."

                        Nancy R'beck -- Cultist Kay

                        Nancy

                        Nancy R'beck has been acting on stage for 40 years.  Oddly enough if you do the math you'll see she started 11 years before she was born!  "Zorg and Andy" is her first movie.  She is set to film a scene for her 2nd movie in April of 2006.  When not acting in movies Nancy is a wife and homeschool mother of two who volunteers her time in the local community theater.

                          Julie Dietrich -- Charlene Ross

                          Julie

                          Julie Dietrich has been involved in various forms of performing arts since she was old enough to sit up on a piano bench and reach the keys. A veteran of community and educational theatre, she is delighted to actually have a film credit to put on her acting resume. Julie graduated from the University of Indianapolis with a BA in Theatre, which she quickly learned is completely useless in the real world, so she has spent the last umpteen years earning a living doing medical office work, and getting her theatre fix whenever and where ever she can. She is the founder and director of Acts 29, a Christian drama troupe, so maybe the degree wasn't a total bust after all. Her favorite role to date is the title role in Sylvia, a story about a Labradoodle, the man who loves her and the wife who hates her. (Julie played the Labradoodle). Julie currently resides in Kenosha, WI, which is a real city, not just a fictional one on That 70's Show. Thanks to Quentin for this unique experience!

                              "Sherrae is mysterious. She creates art when people least expect it. She's like a performance ninja."

                              The creators of this website would like to apologize for not having a picture of Sherrae up yet. They'd also like to point out that the production team can be a little tough to deal with at times.

                                Shane

                                    Billy Taylor was bitten by the acting bug at a young age. It didn't grow into performances until he appeared as an extra in To Sir With Love part 2 while attending high school. He followed that up with a featured extra role in the short lived television show E.Z. streets. He knew that making short appearances as extras in film wouldn't give him the break he was looking for So he applied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. After finishing a summer program he accepted Theater roles in Stone water rapture, Five on the black hand side and Murder mystery co. After having a carer stall he recently jumped back into acting full steam ahead. He's appeared in several E.R. television shows, he finished a run in a one act festival with the play circle line, shot the independent movie Ghetto story and recently costarred in a Budweiser commercial. Look out he's well on his way.

Mallory's acting/film career includes all wearing all sorts of hats (both literally and figuratively) at the Vanity Theatre in Crawfordsville, and filming several comedy shorts with her siblings and friends. She enjoyed being in a semi-big-time production and thanks the production team, who were probably nicer than most people who make movies. Her ponderings can be perused at www.livejournal.com/users/hightops_mal and at www.xanga.com/mallorydarling.

                                        Mark Siegel -- Cultist

He will be in at least two films in 2006 and plans to add more to his resume.

                                          Never meddle with play-actors, for they're a favoured race.
