Richard Speight Jr Looking for San Fran Fans

To Supernatural fans, Richard Speight, Jr is the infamous Trickster from Tall Tales and Mystery Spot but he’s also known for his work on Jericho and Band of Brothers.

Next weekend, he has a very special movie event taking place in San Francisco so he’s written a shout out to the fans:

(message from Richard)

On Saturday, June 13th, there is going to be a charity screening of an independent feature film called NORTH BEACH. Ten years ago, I co-directed and co-starred in this darkish comedy that chronicles a day-in-the-life of a guy trying to salvage his love life in the manic neighborhood of North Beach, right in the heart of San Francisco. The film played 13 festivals in the the U.S. and Europe and received great reviews in The San Francisco Chronicle, The San Jose Mercury News, on Filmcritic.com, etc.

We are having the 10th anniversary screening in San Francisco, CA to raise money for charity in honor of Rob Mulloy, one of the producers of the film and my close friend for many years who died of stomach cancer a few years ago. If you know anyone or have any connections to folks in the San Francisco area – or if you are on any boards, blogs, tweets, pages, or chat rooms that you think reach Californians (or anyone wanting to go to California) – please let them know about it. We’d love to get the word out far and wide. It’s a small theater, and we’d really like to sell it out and raise a few bucks for a good cause.

I’ll be there, so tell any Supernatural fans (or Jericho and Band of Brothers fans for that matter) that if they show up, I’ll sign whatever they want. They can even stroke the beard (if I still have it).

Below are all the details on how to get tickets.

Thanks a lot for the help, Fandom! I owe you.
