Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006) .... Leslie Vernon
-A TV crew follows Leslie Vernon around, a guy who has the ambition to become the next slasher legend..The sort of backstage look we get of a horror icon lovingly planning his big night is nothing short of hilarious. Leslie Vernon turns out to be a sweet guy who just loves what he's doing. He's friends with an older, more experienced slasher, who's also very warm and talkative. .. the movie makes a turn in the final third. yes it's right at the hour mark, with half hour left, in wh nothing much of int. For the big showdown we leave the movie-within-a-movie scenario created by the documentary set-up and are taken right into the movie's reality, and "Behind The Mask" turns into a real slasher film. Although this last part isn't half-bad, it's not quite as enjoyable as what preceded it. The twist is a bit predictable and the movie lacks real gore and suspense at the end in order to work as a slasher flick. Still, regarding the fact that this movie strictly concentrates on fun y in the first two thirds and only begins to throw in full on horror bits in the end, the showdown works quite well. Nathan Baesel, who makes his movie debut here, plays the nice guy and the psychopath without overacting and hands in a great, great performance.

y he's very good. Nathan Baesel

hmm, he's also in:
"Invasion" .... Deputy Lewis Sirk (15 episodes, 2005-2006) In the aftermath of a hurricane, a Florida Park Ranger and his family deal with strange occurrences, including luminescent creatures in the water and people that somehow seem to have changed after surviving the night of the disaster out in the open.
-one of the best new sci-fi shows that i have seen! the plot moves a little bit slowly in the first few episodes but then gets a boost that keeps you on the edge

1/28/10 Invasion also has James Frain, who I like a lot ~ esp in movie "Where the Heart is" w Natalie Portman was Novalee & he was her librarian friend Forney Hill. recently seen in rewatch of The Closer, epsd 2.8 'Critical Missing' The discovery of the bodies of a Japanese woman and her daughter from an apparent murder/suicide, put the team on the trail of a possible multiple murderer.
and Invasion has Kari Matchett, who I only know from season 6 of 24 where she was Lisa Miller, assistant having an affair with vice president. but she's distinctive looking, so when see a pic of her I do think, I know her from smwh.
