Justin Damm is a professional actor living in Manayunk, Pa. He’s originally from Long Island. He was the lead character in Urinetown the Musical at Villanova Theatre which was nominated for a few Barrymores. A Barrymore is pretty much the Philadelphia equivalent of a Tony. You can see him in various shows happening in and around Philadelphia, the last one being Once on This Island with the group Theatre Horizon.

Billy Dee lives in Upper Darby, Pa. Please spare Billy your allusions to Billy Dee Williams when referring to his name; he has heard them all before, mostly from Grib, mostly between 1997 and 2001. Billy works in a finance-type job near Philadelphia and has a dog named Darwin who probably weighs 10 lbs or less. He likes comic books and is not ashamed to do so. In 2003, Billy bought a live Earth, Wind, and Fire album that changed everything.

Joe Gribbin is a chemical engineer and a jazz pianist from Drexel Hill, Pa. He goes to Temple Law School at night, usually commuting to the tune of Anthrax’s “I Am The Law.” He plays bass in the band Box Five and wrote/directed a hour-long movie called Debby’s Firefly Shoes in 2005. It was kind of funny but more of a straight-up drama about big difficult things. He’s also written a full-length play called Stephen’s Music that’s he might produce for the 2008 Philly fringe festival but needs to crunch some numbers first.

Eric Humble is a guy with a passion for film. He’s written and directed a few movies and is in the process of starting his own production company. A few of his scripts are starting to get attention from big-time people, which is wonderful. He wears a fedora when he writes and it looks pretty great. Eric does most of the filming and tech for the Action Section and every now and then steps in front of the camera. If you like anything about the videos here, it is probably a result of something Eric suggested or did.
