Joel Moody joins the cast of THE SPIDER BABIES to play the role of Eli, a bicycle-riding, weed-selling, neo-hippie. You can find out lots more about Joel at his website (while you’re there check him out in action in this commercial for Cinevate). “He was the first person at the auditions that instinctively knew what I was looking for when I called for people to speak in ‘tongues’,” said director Christopher Sharpe. “He just completely nailed it and at his callback he went completely balls-out and was writhing around on the floor scaring the actresses. I’m really excited about working with him.”
Rockhouse Pictures: When did you first start acting?
Joel Moody: I scored my first gig when I was 17, but didn’t start pursuing acting full speed until a couple years ago.
RHP: Who would say inspires you most?
JM: Christian Bale; intensity.
RHP: How much do you identify with Eli, your character?
JM: About 3 years ago I was traveling the country year round with a camcorder, so I would have to say I identify with him, except the whole not bathing hippy thing. I like to take showers.
RHP: Favorite liquor?
JM: Patron! Hello, I love Mexico!
