Roy was nicknamed "Sasquatch" by his friends long before being cast as Bigfoot in the new Tom Smugala film, Interview a Monster, starring Tom Green, Les Stroud, & Stacy Brown Jr. As well as playing a biker & guitar player in the film, he even assisted the production with art department, set building and blowing stuff up! Although music, production, sound, lights & construction have always been part of Roy's life, this award winning wine maker and 15 year Scoutmaster hasn't always been as big as a yeti. At 8 yrs old, in 1969 this South East Missouri prodigy began his music career. While writing songs and touring on keys in country music and classic rock bands in the 80's, Roy would cut his teeth working tech for traveling bands. The road lead home to raising a family in the 90's and opening a home repair and remodel business called "Semo Builders". I can only imagine this bearded muscle machine busting out walls with his bare hands for that new movie room expansion! Many film makers have taken advantage of Roy's green thumb for tech and construction as well as his ominous appearance. For decades Roy has provided sound, lights, and stage managing for more shows than he can count including the Historic Rodger's Theater in Poplar Bluff, MO, Brother's Walker from the "Voice", Country Music Legend Narvel Felts and even Wappstock, a non profit group he assisted in forming, which showcases annual all day concerts to raise money for summer camp scholarships in the local area. With his new Amercana CD "Real Deal" nearing completion, Roy still records when he's not touring with his cover band Two Lane Highway. "I'm still growing my hair & gigging in Mizzurah like it's 1979" he spouts and still manages to make 100 gallons of wine each year . . . just to share with his friends. So I got to interview this monster and lived to tell the tale. Yes, Bigfoot is definitely real, but when you meet him, you'll want to change this teddy bear's name to Bigheart. Hide
