Deadman Mike's Interests
|
| General | Movies
I see a lot of movies, at least one a week if possible (it's not always). I don't see REALLY stupid comidies, or "chick flicks" with no redeaming qualities (not all "chick flicks" are created equel, some are great). Most months I see at least six movies, sometimes as many as ten. If it's a movie that makes you think, it's good to have someone of at least moderate intelligence to talk about it after... sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.
Animals
I am very fond of cats... but I don't have any. I live in a small apartment and I don't think that's a good place for a cat. There's one that lives in the building though, and he's more then welcone to stop by (and he does a few nights a week). I'm not a big dog fan. I've noticed that I get along a lot better with cat people.

Going Out
I go out to clubs from time to time... not too often anymore actually; I used to go quite often. I did the 80s thing most often, but I've also been to goth clubs a few times. I do have a dark side. My dancing style in very unique... cool people love it, those who don't.. they don't matter anyway. But I've seriously got tons of complements and some people even ask me to tesch them movies, but it's all intuition. I also drink, though not as much when I go out because it gets expensive quick, and of course I have to sober up before driving home. Better to buy a bottle or two of something nice and share it with friends (or a friend) while hanging-out. Despite what the picture below might sugest, I don't really drink that often.
All this alcohol and no one to share it with...
I'm up for just about anything really, as long as it's fun. I've even done Karaoke a few times... which is very frightening because I do not have a nice singing voice, but it was with friends and it was fun, that's what counts. Had there been small children there, they probably would have been frightened.
Computer
I'm on my computer quite often. I designed and created my own website, as well as my MySpace page. I also play video games on my computer from time to time, but not too often because I find it can cause me to become somewhat of a recluse (and that's not a good thing). Some of my favorates of the past are Balder's Gate, Starcraft, Stronghold, Galactic Battlegrounds and Dark Forces. I hate video games that feel they have to be 3D to be "cutting edge" because they are usually really hard to operate, slow, and are never as fun (example: Stronghold 2... it sucks!) It's been a VERY long time sense I played any games actually. By the way, I still have dial-up, I suck!
Gilligan
Acting
I guess another interest would be acting... that's why it's my career. This will mean nothing to those of you that don't know about acting, but I have a strong Meisner base, and I strougly beleave in the Michael Chekhov technique. But I also beleave in trying different techniques and taking what works from each of them, like a personal toolbox of acting tools. That might have sounded pretentious, but it's just "shop talk."
Japanese
I started to learn Japanese in 2007; I was seeing a Japanese girl at the time. That has ended, and I have not continued to learn it... though I would like to, I just can't find the inspiration. So I know a bunch of words, the basic grammar, and the basic letters (as well as a few Kanji). If I happen meet another Japanese girl, then I will resume my studies... but I don't think this is likely (unfortunately).
My Eyes
in 2004 I got Laser Surgery on my eyes... and it was the best thing I ever did. Life truly begins after Laser Surgery. I am a little sad at times that I missed so many years before.
Pre Surgery
Post Surgery
"In My Pants"
I'll take this space to explain the comment under the picture to the right, "I've got your extended network right here... in my pants!" I have found that you can take almost anything (in this case "extended network") and put it in that phrase and it sounds like a really sleezy pick-up line... and thus I enjoy it. I don't really have an extended network in my pants (at least not at this moment).
Annoyances
If there's one thing that bothers me, it's when people I stand me up. I hate when I clear my "social calendar," and then I'm stuck sitting around alone. And I also hate when people cancel at the last minute for no good reason; I do understand things happen and stuff comes up sometime... I'm an actor, I have to understand this. Being consistently late is another annoyance. I'm always early; I don't expect this, but I expect others to be on time (again, unless there is an actual reason).
I also hate women who pretend to be interested in something more then friendship just because they think it's mean to tell you they just want to be friends... it's much meaner to lead a guy on!
And the newest addition to my list of annoyances: Self-centered people who claim to be my friends, but only when they need me. I'm good to my friends, but I have a life of my own and I can’t always help with every little thing. Is that a reason to end a friendship… I would say no (if it was a real friendship). Apparently there are those who would say yes… and I don’t want people that overreact like that as friends (which works out nicely). I don’t need that kind of drama, I just wish I could tell if someone was like this from the start. I guess I'm ranted enough for now. There will be more
Oh, and I also get annoyed when MySpace loses half my profile information! They did, but it's all back now. There was a brief (or maybe not-so-brief)raunt on religion that I decided to leave out this time 'round. | | Music | There isn't one type of music that I like above all others; I like what I like, and that doesn't necessarily fit into one catigory. I generaly don't care for rap. There's quite a bit of 80s stuff I like, and it's great to dance to. I lke musicthat rocks. One of these days maybe I'll list some actual songs... but not today. | | Movies | As I mentioned above, I try to go to the movies as often as possible, and now I write my reviews here, in my "blog". I figure that's a better use for it then rambling on about my life and emotions; I doubt anyone, except close friends who get it all in e-mail anyway, would want to read all that rubbish.
Some of my favorates include: Braveheart, Lord of the Rings, the Indiana Jones movies, Star Wars, Memento, My Cousin Vinney, Fight Club... the list goes on and on.
For recent moves that I liked, I would direct you to my "Blog"... which I have now mentioned at least three times. Sorry.
| | Television | Some of my favorite TV shows include: Heroes, Farscape, The Shield, Freaks and Geeks (which I was in), FullMetal Alchemist, Death Note, Babylon 5, Doctor Who (the original... the new series kinda sucks), The Simpsons and Family Guy.
Just in the last few years, I've started watching a lot of stuff on The Discovery Channel; I especially like Mythbusters. I also love Ghost Hunters on the Sci-Fi Channel, very interesting stuff.
| | Books | I like to read a lot, but a good book will keep me awake and deprive me of my much needed sleep... but still I'm always looking for a good read
I'm a big fan of the Harry Potter books. I also enjoyed Lord of the Rings and The Hobbitt. I semi-recently (ok, it was ages ago now, but it was recent when I first added it to this list) read a book called The Program by Gregg Hurwitz; I highly reccomend it.
I'm not a big fan of John Grisham... he's all right, but I've found that his books generally start out kinda slow. Though they do usually get prety good by the end, they almost always end the same, with someone geting a a plane and leaving their old life. I HATED Grisham's A Painted House... borring from start to finish! Sleeping pills in book form. | | Heroes | Alas, I do not have a hero. Everyone should have one, but I do not. That makes me a little sad. I have a Black Heart.

Deadman Mike's Blurbs |
About me:
..
..
I'm an actor in Los Angeles... and there are no shortage of those! Don't hold it against me. It's been a busy year so far, but I still have a ways to go before I can quit the second job, the one that pays the bills most of the time.
My website is:
www.MichaelBeardsley.com

My Previous Halloween Costume - Alex from Clockwork Orange
Who am I beyond the fact that I'm an actor... as is nearly everyone in Los Angeles (not exactly an exclusive club). Don't misunderstand and think I'm some egomaniacal actor... that is one conclusion my website can give, but the correct reason for its vastness is that I needed something to keep me busy at the time in my life that I made it. And I am proud of it... and there are still times I need something to pour my creative energy into.
I joined MySpace because a friend asked me to, and I think it's kinda fun to check in on now and then. Sense I DID NOT join MySpace to find dates, I'm happy to say I've written this profile without the pretext of trying to impress anyone, or to avoid turning someone off. As the great philosopher Popeye said, "I yam what I yam."
I most definatly have a bit of dark side, I like to stay up very late, I can be a bit socially awkward at times, am very aware of myself and what's going on in my own head (and around me as well), a bit quirkey, probably too honest and straight forward, and definatly unique... I guess I'll leave the rest to the following survay... taken back in December 2005.

Who I'd like to meet:
I'm up for meeting anyone who's not a total jerk and/or idiot (in the virtual word that is). Please feel free to contact me... in fact, please contact me, MySpace can be a bit of a bore at times. I have too many real-life friends, and very few MySpace friends... that's not true, one can never have too many real-life friends. And I don't actually have that many. Quality, not quantity.
Policy on Adding Friends
Oh, and my policy is that I will not add anyone as a MySpace friend unless I know you, or you have sent me at least one message before you ask (or at the same time). And not one of those mass mailed messages that have the add friend link in the actual message.
