Hello again, Shield Rap! I found mention of Brian J. White (Tavon)'s movie 'Dungeon Siege' on another fansite today and decided to do my own research. I can't leave well enough alone....

Brian is playing Commander Tarish in the film directed by Uwe Boll. The plot, as described by imdb.com is: "A man named Farmer sets out to rescue his kidnapped wife and avenge the death of his son -- two acts committed by the Krugs, a race of animal-warriors who are controlled by the evil Gallian."

German-born film director Uwe Boll is becoming a bit of a Hollywood legend—but perhaps not in the way he might hope.
Most of his films have been rated between two and four out of 10 by users of the Internet Movie DataBase. The respected on-line film resource also reports one of his less glamorous nicknames to be "The Master of Error."
<<snip>>
For better or worse, Mr. Boll already has two video game-based movies to his name: House of the Dead (2002) and Alone in the Dark (2005); both of which tanked with North American critics and audiences.
This is just a teaser of the intro; read the entire interview here.
--------------------
Here is a snippit of Brian's bio, in his own words....
--------------------
To briefly sum up my story ... I was born just outside of Boston, MA and come from a large family with 5, beautiful, younger sisters. I attended Dartmouth College, in Hanover, NH where I studied Political Science, Psychology and Theater Arts. I also played Football and Lacrosse there. Following graduation, I was fortunate enough to be signed by both an NFL (New England Patriots) and NLL (Boston Blazers) team. By the way...the NLL is the professional lacrosse league. If you are not from the Northeast, you probably never heard of lacrosse; but lacrosse is pretty big there. In 1999, an injury cut my athletic career shorter than I would have liked and my life took an odd turn -- well...actually two odd turns! First, I began modeling and secondly, I co-founded a professional dance/theater company.
The dance company, Phunk Phenomenon Urban Dance Theater, still exists today. These days, my co-founder, Reia Briggs, is the real heart and soul of Phunk Phenomenon. She is a certified teacher, dance instructor and humanitarian; and also Phunk's director. The mission of Phunk Phenomenon is to be a multicultural and multiethnic conduit with which urban male and female "products" ages 18-28 can impart their life lessons and knowledge to their younger urban counterparts ages 12-18. The tool Phunk Phenomenon uses to communicate is the performing arts -- more specifically, dance. Our ultimate goal is to entertain while educating; for which we have coined the term, “edutainment.
