We have many talented people on this project.  Hence Singleton, who plays Henry Page, is quite the comedian.  And although the sometimes gloomy Henry doesn’t often express his funnier side on screen, behind the scenes Hence is a complete stock pile of laughs……and you’ll get to see what we’re talking about once the bloopers are revealed down the line.  🙂

As several of our cast members do, Hence actually makes a living cracking jokes.  And for the first time, he is performing at Cobb’s Comedy Club in San Francisco on Friday, October 28th.  Show him some love and come out.  We promise it will be a great time!

Hence Singleton

As a child of the 80‘s growing up in Milwaukee, WI, Hence has been entertaining since grade school.  In high school he participated in talent shows, as well as choir and drama club.  He also has made is part of his repertoire over the years to do impersonations of people like Michael Jackson, Tiger Woods, Muddy Waters and Jimi Hendrix.  Hence started comedy in the mid 90‘s when the MC did not show up for a male dance revue show.  So, the owners of the club tossed him out there for the wolves.  After 20 minutes of having the crowd eating out of his hand, a comic was born.

Hence has been inspired by such great comics before him like Richard Pryor, Andrew Dice Clay, DL Hughley and Ron White.  He found that comedy was a good way to express his views on life and all the strange things that happened on a daily basis.

The always busy Hence has performed at The Comedy Store, Haha Cafe, The LA Improv, The Laugh Factory, Jon Lovitz Up’N Comers Show, The Purple Onion, Tommy T’s and more.  He has also performed with Donnel Rawlings, Reginald Ballard, David Raibon and Mike Robles, amongst others.  Since Hence moved out to California, more opportunities have opened up to him.  He has appeared in La-Mission, The 420/360 web series and High Crimes.

Fight 4 Your Life is a step away from comedy for Hence.  But he has welcomed the opportunity with open arms and enthusiasm.  And his dedication to the project is astounding, having to regularly travel from the San Francisco Bay Area to make his obligations to the film.  We thank Hence tremendously for all of his diligence.

Look for Hence on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, IMDb, YouTube or his own site HERE.  And here’s a quick snippet of Hence doin’ it up at one of his comedy shows!

Lorenzo ‘Hitman’ Thornton

Born and raised in California, Robert Lorenzo Thornton has been doing standup comedy for about 22 years now, and is one of the best-undiscovered talents in the business.  Born in Northern California and raised by a single mom, he was exposed to music, pro-wrestling, 80’s & 90’s genre of entertainment, with a special interest in martial arts, dancing and theater.

Performing has been in his blood since the day he was born, from school plays, talent shows, to dancing on a local television teen dance show in Sacramento.  His first stand up performance wasn’t even in a comedy club; it was in Northern California Junior High and High Schools.  Starting at the age of 18 with a local chapter in Sacramento called Friday Night Live, which promoted awareness to teens against doing drugs, drinking and driving.

After several years of this, developing his act, he ventured to comedy clubs.  His raw-dawg, in your face, take no prisoners style makes you sit up and take notice.  At the same time being very multi-dimensional, it is hard to put him in a category.  He delivers an unpredictable performance.  You will never see him coming that is why he is the . . .HITMAN.

Lorenzo became a part of Fight 4 Your Life by way of working on a past project with director of photography Jeremy Guinn, producer Alonzo Chism and director Bryan Bachar.

 

“Lorenzo was originally scheduled to play a different role in F4YL.  But when we needed him to take on the much larger role of the eccentric Dark Oaks gang leader Black Leavz, he rose to the challenge, demonstrating with badass-ness his professionalism, experience and skill.  A previous part he played in a short we did earlier this year kind of fell into his lap by peculiar circumstance as well.  I’m beginning to think the heavens are at work here.  It’s funny how things work out.”                  

– Bryan Bachar / Director of F4YL

 

We are truly thankful to have the Hitman.  He is a vital part of Fight 4 Your Life!  For more on Lorenzo, check out his site here.

Ellis Rodriguez

Originally born in Boston, Ellis Rodriguez is by far the funniest of nine children raised by loving immigrant parents from Panama.  Living in a multi-racial, uni-cultural family gave him a unique perspective on life.  He grew up speaking Spanish at home, English at church, and Ebonics in school.

Ellis Rodriguez spent his early twenties serving in the United States Marine Corps, but found his calling when he picked up a mic, and did what he’d been doing his whole life, entertaining anyone who would listen.  And now countless are listening, and laughing.  His commanding presence, charming personality and hilarious material make him one of the best up and coming comics today.

Ellis Rodriguez’s passion for stand up comedy is evident whenever he performs, as he is a favorite at comedy clubs across the West Coast, including the Improv, Laugh’s Unlimited, Tommy T’s, PepperBelly’s and the Laugh Factory.  This Latino/former Marine is smart and charismatic, and always full of surprises.  An energetic performer, his comedy is appealing to any comedy audience.

And it was his comedic appeal, as well as his overall acting ability, that caught the eyes of the one studios crew.  The funny thing is (pun intended) we nearly lost Ellis on this project, due to personal obligations of his.  Luckily, it all worked out.  And we are extremely happy to have this talent be a part of Fight 4 Your Life.  We know this is just the beginning of a beautiful, and hilarious, relationship.

Check Ellis out at a comedy show near you!  Here is his official site at www.ellisrodriguez.com.  Of course, he is also on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.  Check out this snippet from one of his performances!  WARNING: EXPLICIT CONTENT
