| About the director:
Ggreg Snyder was born in San Jose, California and raised in nearby Los Gatos.
He attended San Francisco State University and received a BA in Drama Education
in 1987. He has also attended UCLA and Washington State University. Ggreg has enjoyed an eccentric acting career. In his two most notorious peformances, he played himself, which can't really be called acting. Fans of Comedy Central's Beat the Geeks may remember him as the Saturday Morning TV Geek, whereas Star Trek afficionados might have seen him interviewed in the Roger Nygard documentary Trekkies 2, in which he discussed his theatrical production of Romeo and Juliet, presented in the style of the original Star Trek series. He has also written for National Lampoon magazine and Jay Leno's The Tonight Show monologue. B |
