9/10
I am The Harvester

I had the amazing opportunity to play Steve, "The Harvester" and lead character in the game back in 1996.

HARVESTER was my first (and only) professional acting job and it was one of the most unique opportunities I have ever had.

Today, I am an Artist, Musician and a Filmmaker.

It took almost two years to film and create the graphics for the game. All of the CGI was created in Lightwave 3/D. The characters were filmed in front of a green screen set and then cut out frame by frame in Photoshop. I heard the artists bitching for months every time they saw me saying they were sick of looking at my head!

Yeah, it's dated, but it opened the door for role-playing video games and what could be possible.

I just love how strangely weird the storyline is and the creepiness factor of the game! Very David Lynchian. Mr. Rogers meets Leave it to Beaver with Freddy Krueger in Twin Peaks. Some day, I will finish the game so I can see what happens.

Take the opportunity when it presents itself because it may never happen again.

We'll see you all in HARVEST, okay?
