Nicolah Hersh

Nicolah Hersh

Nicolah is a native Californian . . . in fact, a native San Franciscan who graduated from San Francisco State University an eon or two ago with a degree in Theater Arts. Since she was not willing to starve in a garret . . . I mean who is going to hire a 24 year old character actress to play 40 year old women?? . . . she first went to work for the Feds in Asia and Europe, and then in various suburban cities in California. She finally evolved into a travel agent back in San Francisco. Once she reached 40, she once again looked to the stage to fulfill her "destiny." In her 50's she sought a life in the world of film (or tape) and, with a trans-state move, came to the movie capital of the world. Living in less than genteel poverty, she now calls L. A. home . . . and, like so many, is always looking for a job. She has won recognition for her work in the short film "Apartment 206" (winner of Best Actress at the Shriekfest) and is an active member of the Open Fist Theatre Company in Hollywood.

Robert DiTillio

Robert DiTillio

Robert DiTillio was born in Manhattan and grew up in Queens, NY. He had an early exposure to entertainment due to the fact that his father, Gabriel, owned an amusement park. Needless to say, this made him a very happy child and popular with other kids. Besides playing at the park, Robert spent much of his childhood watching movies on TV - and fell in love with them. He learned about comedy and comic timing from the great ones – The Marx Brothers, W.C. Fields and his all-time favorites, Abbott & Costello. And the biggest lesson he learned from A&C was this: most people consider Lou the crazy one, but actually Bud, in his subtlety, is MUCH more insane!
Robert had a great time in High School and met several terrific people who are still friends to this day. His first taste of acting was making Super 8mm films with his buddies in High School and later in college. His most memorable roll from that era was playing Han Solo in a feature length Star Wars parody. Despite the fact that he loved film, for some reason he decided to go to NYU Business School. That was a good education but it did not satisfy his desire to be in show business. So, after he graduated, he went back to NYU’s School of Continuing Education to earn a Certificate in Filmmaking. And right after he finished that, he started taking acting classes at the renowned Herbert Berghof Studio in Greenwich Village, NY. Undertaking these classes at NYU and HB confirmed what Robert always felt in his gut – he must pursue a career in show business.

After two years at HB Studios, Robert booked his first paying acting job in a low, low budget horror feature entitled The Occultist. Over the next few years, he booked several more independent features in NY while continuing his studies at HB. He also worked on soap operas in NY, appearing mostly on Loving. And he performed in 10 rap music videos, almost always playing “the mean white guy.” The New York portion of Robert’s acting career also featured performances in several off-off Broadway plays, most notably two seldom seen dramas by Joyce Carol Oates.

After several great years acting in NY, it was time to move to Hollywood! After being here for 6 weeks, Robert booked his first LA job playing Bill Black, Elvis Presley’s original bass player in a segment for the show Hard Copy. This was followed up over the next few years with appearances on several television shows such as NYPD Blue, Sliders, and Babylon 5 among others, and more soap work. He even won a prize for a sketch called “Espresso Express” which he co-wrote and performed on America's Funniest People. This same sketch turned up later on another program called Show Me the Funny.

On the LA stage scene, Robert has performed at The Comedy Store and other venues with his improv group, Are You Talkin' Ta Me? He has also appeared in comedy plays at various theatres around town. The L.A. Weekly labeled Robert "hysterical" for his work in Crappie Talk (a “Pick of the Week”) in the summer of 1997. The 2000s brought horror into Robert’s life. In this decade he’s appeared in the Sci-Fi Channel original movie Dragon Fighter with Dean Cain, the mad doctor opus The Straun House with Karen Black, the late-night guilty pleasure Triloquist and the remake Night of the Living Dead 3D (just in case Robert in 2D is not enough).

And after all the terror, he is happy to be back as a comedy performer on the Internet series The Rose Chronicles. He will also be seen this year in a guest appearance on another webs series, Mountain Man. The Internet is the future of entertainment, and the future is now. Thanks for watching.
