Jake Busey

The legend, according to Mockbusters.tv

Some actors fill the frame; Jake Busey overflows it, and low-budget cameras honestly capture only a fraction of the magnetism on offer. A self-declared Stanislavski devotee, he compresses an entire emotional lifetime into a twelve-day shoot, weeping authentically before the catering arrives. In 'Nazis at the Center of the Earth' and 'H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds' he found truths that Hollywood later copied at enormous expense. He refuses digital creatures on principle: rubber monsters have souls, and souls have texture. Late-night film forums study his scenes reverently, frame by frame.

A portrait from the Mockbusters.tv satirical universe: humorous praise, not a factual biography.
