Jesse Moss isn鈥檛 the first actor to say that horror movies are fun to make, but he might be among the first to describe them as training grounds for parenthood.
鈥淲ith horror movies, you鈥檙e shooting all night and your sleep patterns become irregular,鈥� said Moss, a father to a three-month-old boy. 鈥淏eing up all night with my son isn鈥檛 that much of a change.鈥�
The Vancouver-based Moss, 30, stars as obnoxious hipster Seth in , a new horror flick from local writer/director duo the Vicious Brothers that will have its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 18.
鈥淸Seth]鈥檚 the most obnoxious character I鈥檝e ever played,鈥� said Moss. 鈥淗e goes a bit psycho, which is a lot of fun to play.鈥�
In Extraterrestrial, a group of kids head into the woods to search for the wreckage from a fireball they saw fall from the sky. No spoilers, but given that this is a sci-fi horror flick, it鈥檚 safe to say that terror of an alien variety ensues.
It鈥檚 a busy time for Moss, who in 2007 won a Best Lead Performance by a Male in a Dramatic Series for his work on Whistler. This summer, he鈥檒l be seen on the big screen in the comedy/horror flick Wolfcop, as well as on CTV鈥檚 Motive and Hallmark鈥檚 Cedar Cove.聽聽聽
