Four years ago, after doing a sketch comedy revue in Hollywood, Eddie Shin met Dave Lee and Randy Park. They made introductions and plans to hang, but both parties got lost and the get together never happened. Two years later, Dave heard "Eddie Shin from Chicago" booked a TV role, and recognized the name. Somehow, he still had Eddie's business card in his wallet, and shot him a do- you- remember- me- from- two- years- back- are- you- in- LA- now- and- if- you- are- let's- hang- out email. Eddie reunited with them, and now, two years after they all officially became friends, they're putting up a show. How very full circle. Eddie's grateful for twists of fate that end with him doing what he loves with people he loves. What will happen in two more years? Hopefully, more shows, more laughs, more love.
Minnie Lagrimas had plans to amass a warehouse full of art as an art thief, but her plans changed after renowned casting director Bonnie Timmerman suggested that she try acting. Eventually Minnie hopped on a plane to California armed with only two suitcases and a month-long hotel reservation. She has now settled down in Beverly Hills and has appeared in print, commercials, and theater. She is currently focusing on television and film, most recently landing a small role in the upcoming Warner Brothers feature Starsky and Hutch.
Randall Park is a playwright, an actor (you may have seen him on Fastlane, Reno 911!, Las Vegas, and a commercial on channel 18 for Chinese liver pills), a stand-up comedian (a regular at the Laugh Factory, the Hollywood Improv, and a co-producer of Comedy at Relaxtation), a musician (a vocalist for the Temple Bar-headliners Los Angeles-based Hip-Hop band Ill Again - www.illagain.com), a cartoonist and graphic designer (www.randallparkplace.com), a model, a dancer, a certified lifeguard, and a licenced cosmotologist. Much love and gratitude to the Harvey Lembeck Comedy Workshop.
Oh Lord, I hate writing these things. I get and ulcer just thinking about what I want to say in my "bio". Uh...I'm Korean American. I thank my mom for making me crazy and giving me plenty of material for comedy but most of all for her unconditional love. What else????? I love Jesus and all of my awesome supportive friends. Lord, bless me with a lot of money so I can buy them all new cars and big houses. Amen.
After getting hitched, Constance is excited to be back onstage and wants to thank all of China for attending her wedding. She is, however, still disgruntled that her husband, the "token white guy" in this show, speaks better Chinese than she does. Favorite credits include: Golden Boy (NY), Middle Chyld Unplugged, and last year's critically acclaimed production of Red Thread. Constance also recently wrapped up filming the feature November with Courtney Cox-Arquette, which, she hopes, will come out by...um...November.
Eric is thrilled to be joining the cast of Fertilizing Eggy as the token white guy. It is nice to see that Hollywood's discrimination practices & barriers have finally started to crumble, and that roles for young, Caucasian males are finally becoming available. Eric's recent body of work includes starring in the films 4/29 and Eat Rice, both destined for the film festival circuit. His most recent theatrical performance was in the play, Three Years from Thirty at the Actor's Circle Theatre. Eric is lucky enough to have just married the woman of his dreams, and he hopes you will join him in praying that his dream doesn't turn into her nightmare.
David J. Lee has performed at various theaters across Los Angeles including the Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum, East West Players, the Empty Stage, and blah blah blah yawn...You know what? My picture's right here. Now you know what I look like. Come find me and I'll tell you more about myself.
Tim grew up on the outskirts of LA county, where he developed his mildly irreverent, yet pathetically charming character. He currently resides in West Los Angeles, and is pursuing several things, including a more decadent way of life. You may have seen him play the lead role as "Adam" in the critically-acclaimed production of FREAKSTORM last year. But you probably haven't. While not acting (which is most of the time) he is slave to paperchasing, philosophizing hoochies, and looking very, very awkward.
