Rider Strong's character

I just looked him on here and saw this film title. I don't know when the movie is coming out, if it is already out or if/when it will come to DVD.

Just out of curiosity though, does anybody know how big of a character 'Charlie' is? How long would you say Rider is in the film for?

Sometimes I try to look up favorite actors/actresses to watch some of their films, and I've seen some where the actor themselves are in the movie for 5 minutes or less.

I'd still like to see this movie though.

Rider Strong isnt really a big character, but he does play a good part, as far as the movies goes, i liked it a lot and i think it may be going into theaters for a short time, then onto dvd
hope that helps :)

"rider stole my lines" i was watching it not knowing exactly what his part was in the movie but as it turns out he's a PA and anyone who knows anything about film at all knows that a PA does not say anything about roll cameras.... i knew something was fishy when we were on the set and then one day Ryder Strong just suddenly appears with crew lines... they gave him lines so that they wouldn't pay any of the film crew extras to talk.... i was the assisstant director on that background crew and he says "roll camera... quiet on the set" i felt cheated.....

well i'm done venting.

Rider plays a go-getter production assistant who is doing more than his traditional job and is trying to schmooze with the star to advance his career. The movie opened the Worldfest Film Festival in Houston in April where it sold out and set an attendance record. It is now playing in Houston (May '06) at the Angelika Film Center. There are plans to possibly open the movie in Dallas next. Rider has a funny character part that while not a starring role, soes contribute to the entertainment.

but why would a production assisstant say the lines of let's say maybe the assisstant director?
