THE CAST OF STREETS OF GOLD: O.K. Who Are These People?
Ok, what you have here are some of the most talented new faces in the industry today. This cast has been hand picked for their unique qualities that range from perfect comedic timing to beauty to acting talents and much more.
When we decided to do The Streets Of Gold, we decided to use both the best American and Middle Eastern performers we could find, after all, the show is about their lives, experiences and adventures.
First up, there is Nabi Z. Z is an extremely talented actor and straight man to the comedic talents of his Co-Star Peter Banifaz. Not only does he speak six languages fluently, but he has been acting for nearly two decades in both his native country as well on international shows based in the US and seen worldwide.
Nabi is the co-creator, producer and co-director of the show and he also oversees writing duties with his partner Del Weston.
Alexandria Rousset is one of the most beautiful and talented new actresses on the scene today. She plays the young and in-love wife of our main character Abdullah. Rousset is no stranger to the camera as she has been seen on over a million downloads of videos ranging from promotional videos for the Action On Film International Film Festival to Music Videos, Short Films and the AOF Channel Television Series which stars Kim Coates of the FX Hit Sons Of Anarchy.
Peter Banifaz is one of the hottest new comic faces on the rise in the improv and film world. The bilingual comedian and actor has been working in Hollywood for a number of years.
With work as a writer, director and a performer, Banifaz is a triple threat and a fearless performer who isn't afraid to do almost anything to deliver the laughs. Banifaz can be seen in short films such as Brando and Rude Boy, Banished, By A Second, and Strife Heist as well as such shows as 1000 Ways To Die on SPIKE and more.
Finally, we have the incredibly talented and glamourous Michelle Gracie. This veteran actress and host has now moved into the spotlight as a producer with a new indie film in post production as well as stints in front of the camera on NBC's The AOF Channel, and award winning shorts such as Lateral Us, What We Became, and Drawing Angel.
Gracie has also worked as a producer on projects such as Wreck, Knuckleheads, The Astray, and Bricks and Ashes.
Our incredible supporting cast includes notables like Anthony De Longis of Jet Li's Fearless, The High Lander Televsion Series and a number of great film roles to his credits. You'll also find folks like Hollywood Veteran Actor Jack Lucarelli who is currently featured in Quentin Tarantino's new film Django Unchained. We will also be featuring a number of great comedians and stars from the world of television and film as the show continues to grow.
On our next Blog, learn about the people behind the production like veteran television producer, writer and director Del Weston who is also the creator of the AOF Festival and the AOF Channel.
We spoke with Karen about her editing style and some of her influences on this project and she said, 'Well, reality is really a fun genre to work in, even scripted reality. I have a lot of content to draw from because there are so many shows out there now that are doing so well. That being said, Streets of Gold is different than a lot of what is being seen because of its premise, the diversity of cast, and its ground breaking comedic subject matter."
After a few rough cuts and even more late nights in the office, the flow is finally perfect. With just the right amount of comic timing, great performances from all of the cast members, and hilarious scenes, the pilot is now moving on to sound design and music by the great Ben Chan. Having worked with Ben on The AOF Channel, Reality Racing: The Rookie Challenge, and in Karen's directorial short, The Wave, we are sure there is no better guy to edit and mix Streets of Gold in post production.
