Greg
Crandall - Scott (Knight in
Shining Armor") Gypsy
Boys is Gregs first feature film although many recognize
Greg for his vast array of magazine and print work. His pictures
have been feature in multiple issues of OUT, Genre, XY Magazine,
Australian Blue Magazine, and San Francisco and from the covers
of circuit music CDs to Christmas Cards from Soho Galleries.
Gregs work has always been a bit off-the-wall
fulfilling the goofy silly roles others avoid. Hes been
a leather guy for Absolute S&M, naked and covered in Latex,
and hit ten foot jumps for XY on Burton Snowboards knowing that
hed spit his teeth out when hitting the ground. When challenged
with finding someone for the fantasy role of Scott, Greg was
a sure fit for fulfilling the role of Vampire, Sword Fighter,
and the hero on horseback, not to mention his type-cast role
as a cheesy model. Since a kid, Gregs favorite game was
always Truth or Dare... but he never could tell the truth. He
looks forward to his next Dare - be it Film or Print. |
