Hare Krishna zombie interview

[thxleo]

Hi everyone. With the help of good friend Chris Stavrakis, I've been able to get in touch with the Hare Krishna zombie from "Dawn of the Dead". Mike has been nice enough to agree to do an interview for this site. I have not emailed Neil yet about this, but I'm sure that Neil would love to have it on the site. Does anyone have any questions that they would like to ask? If so, let me hear them. Thanks and I hope to have the interview ready by sometime late next week.

Damn dude, where ya been. Oh, I know, scoring an interview with the most famous zombie ever!! My bad. Good to have you back.:D I'll probably come up with some better ones once i have a chance to think about it more, but here's a couple off the top of my head.


-What's it like being the most famous zombie ever?
-Does the line " I was the hari krishna zombie in dawn " Help him score many chicks?
-Who did he hang with during the filming of the movie/ who were the coolest people on set?
-What's his favorite memory from the shoot?
-What's Gar like to work with?

the same one ill ask ken foree if i go to the foree fest in august

"what is your opinion on the 2004 remake?":sneaky:

[Griff]

Did he do any research to prepare for the role? Like become a member of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, perhaps?

[MissJacksonCA]

Did you leave the set in full zombie makeup and drive home and totally freak out everyone you ran into?

*thom matthews did that after filming ROTLD one day and ironically got pulled over... imagine the look on that cops face

[capncnut]

Do you still have your Hare Krishna outfit and tambourine? :D

[DEAD BEAT]

Was he butt naked under that gown?

and if so did he feel a draft!:D

[thxleo]

perhaps asking the members for questions was a bad idea? :rolleyes:

[darth los]

I don't think it was a bad idea. You just take the ones you like and toss the rest out. every idea isn't gold.

[flyboy]

do you believe in hari krishna??:elol:

[DEAD BEAT]

do you believe in hari krishna??:elol:

Only that they give people the runs and may have the stupidest hair doo known to man next to the mullet!

Do they still hang around at the airports?
:rockbrow:

[darth los]

I don't believe they do. They'd probably be branded terrorists anyway.

I just emailed him that picture. Thanks for the great contribution Alex!

[darth los]

- has he ever been asked to appear as the krishna zombie at any events ala bil hinzman?

[MaximusIncredulous]

Did he do any movie work after Dawn or was Krishna Zombie a one shot deal?

[darth los]

- what is he into/ what kind of work does he do nowdays?

[axlish]

-The mall and the loft being different sets, how long was it between shoots?

-Did you and Gaylen have a lot of preparation before your battle in the loft?

-How long was the shoot in the loft, and how many days did you film at the mall?

-Did Mr. Romero give any insight into any commentary that was being provided by your character, more specifically, the religious icon that your character represented?

-What was your initial reaction to the film, and have you watched it recently?

where can i get one of those.

[triste realtà]

I think he was in the shaved head band whose other members were in the film. Name of band, type of music, instrument played, website for listening to? (You probably already were going to ask this.)

[darth los]

-is it true that all the zombie extras in the film got paid was a dollar and a t-shirt?

[DEAD BEAT]

- what is he into/ what kind of work does he do nowdays?

Burden on society!
:D

Plus wasn't he turned down for the Hare krishna role on the movie AIRPLANE!;)

But i also heard the back of his head was a stunt double for john holmes shaft in one of his porn flicks!:D

That's bad if the ipitomy of krishna in a movie was turned down for a similar role. lol

- Has he ever tried to turn his krishna fame into profit?

[DEAD BEAT]

:D
Banging on that tambourine...bang on this!


"lose the bed sheets and buy some dam shoes ya idiot"!!!:elol: ;)

[darth los]

-how did he land the role? did he have to audition for it?

[jdog]

as far as i know he was just an extra with a good gimic.

[DEAD BEAT]

as far as i know he was just an extra with a good gimic.

Yep he must of nailed the audition "say nothing and look stupid"!
:D

[darth los]

how did the role change his life?

[EvilNed]

Was he forced to shave his head or did he just get the part because his head was shaved?

[darth los]

-alot of movie sets have pranksters, joke tellers to keep it light hearted. Who played those roles on set if anyone?
-how cool was it to have access to the entire mall after dark?

It's the real dude, with then and now pics, and he's starting to do conventions, which is cool. Here's a pic of the band he was in with the Airport Zombie (John Paul Musser):
