This is the fifth clip from my 03/25/23 interview with John Mese, and this is the first time when chatted about Bugtussle & Derek Sitter. Bugtussle is a big winner on the film festival circuit all over the country right now. Derek Sitter (founder of Volcanic Theatre Pub in Bend, OR & writer/director/actor in short films) is on Instagram & here on YouTube & on Twitter/Instagram @Derek Sitter  

Both Derek & John have won Best Actor awards for Bugtussle! Check out my own reviews & analysis of the film in the links below:

AND FINALLY, as John mentioned in the interview: His "big break" as a TV actor came in 1992, when he played Sean Kelley on REASONABLE DOUBTS.
