MATT DRISCOLL: JOEY G ON THE RED CARPET >>>
As far as the world of red carpet movie premieres goes, I don’t claim to be an expert. Every time I think about red carpets Joan Rivers comes to mind, and shortly thereafter stomach bile creeps up the back of my throat.
Something tells me, though, when www.myspace.com/joeygrocks ">Joe Gingerella (aka Joey G), walks down the red carpet on Friday at the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas â€" for the grand opening of Your Name Here, a film featuring Bill Pullman, Taryn Manning, Harold Perrineau, Traci Lords, Ivana Milicevic, M. Emmet Walsh and Gingerella himself â€" Joan Rivers will be nowhere in the vicinity.
Nearly two years ago now, Gingerella flew to California for the shooting of Your Name Here, a film based on the life of famously crazy science fiction writer Phillip K Dick, though in the film it's William J. Frick - played by Pullman. In the film, which features around 10 scenes with Gingerella, Joey G plays an agro biker with a penchant for partying, women, and all around debauchery â€" no doubt an amazing stretch for the “actor.†Gingerella’s character lives at Frick’s house during much of the film, which is set in 1974, and according to Joey, the majority of his scenes in the movie are interactions between him and Pullman’s Fricke character â€" as the writer loses his mind.
“One of the people I work with in the industry has a friend who put in a resume for me,†says Gingerella of how he came to be involved in Your Name Here. “It was totally out of the blue.â€
“Basically, I treated it as if I was talking to guys in the band, or one of my friends,†says Gingerella of his acting approach. “We did the first scene in, like, two takes. All the feedback I got from the director was really positive.â€
According to Gingerella, working with Pullman was one of the highlights of the experience. He marveled at the actor’s ability to simply “click†in and out of character.
Currently on tour managing the Atomic Outlaws, Gingerella plans to fly to Las Vegas on Friday, attend the premiere of Your Name Here at the Palms Hotel at 7:30 p.m., “party until three or four in the morning,†and then return to Tacoma on Saturday morning for the all day music festival scheduled to go down at Club Vertigo with The Crying Spell, Atomic Outlaws, and the Day brothers of Top Heavy Crush.
As for his acting career, Gingerella remains open to whatever opportunity presents itself.
“If anybody asks, yeah I’ll do it,†says Gingerella of future film roles.
I guess if you’re making a movie, and you need a partying biker, now you know who to call, Tacoma.
