May 2008: He's a man with a gun, and on May 17th, he proved he knows how to use it. JL was one of many middle Tennessee citizens who participated in Watertown's bi-annual charity train robbery. JL can be found on page 1 of the Watertown Gazette, pictured with longtime friend Brooke Pulley, who played a floosie. JL let it all hang loose as he took on his favorite role of "JL Imposter," the flirtatious and fun loving train robber who makes the ladies swoon and the men reach for their wallets.

April 2008: The big screen will never be the same again as JL heads to it, making a very small appearance in Billy: The Early Years, a film depicting the beginning of evangelist Billy Graham's career. Look for JL in the film, slated for release Labor Day Weekend. JL has teamed up with aspiring film maker Jeremy Mitchell on an upcoming futuristic sci fi flick entitled ManKind. The film, to begin filming this winter, is co-written by JL and includes a very enticing scene where he plays a savage Neanderthal. For those of you who have yearned to see the author without his shirt and covered in sweat, this will be your chance. More information on the film will be posted as available. JL has announced plans for an internet-only serial release pitting the graininess of films like The Blair Witch Project with the grittiness of such works as The Last House on the Left. There will be no set release date for the first installment of the series. Yet untitled, the series will be filmed in the woods and rural areas of Middle Tennessee and includes much of the cast and crew from ManKind. |
