Michael Lehmann

I first met Michael Lehmann in the summer of 1985 at The Groundlings Comedy "College" on Melrose in Hollywood.  We were students of improvisation at the time.  Those were great days of silliness, fun and wild experimentation.  In 1988 Michael cast me as Father Ripper when he directed HEATHERS.  I shot my scenes on a single afternoon the week that BEETLEJUICE premiered.  In 1989 we had fun making MEET THE APPLEGATES in lovely Oshkosh, Wisconsin.  The movie tanked when it finally opened in 1991 but it was a great fun to make.

Michael went on to direct HUDSON HAWK, AIRHEADS, and THE TRUTH ABOUT CATS AND DOGS.  He was executive producer of Tim Burton's ED WOOD.  Michael's next directorial project is currently in post production.  It's called 40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS and stars Josh Harnett (PEARL HARBOR).

In June 1990 when I took this picture, Michael was listening to Iggy Pop's LUST FOR LIFE.
