I miss the laughter, Lee Van Cleef used to make me feel so good about making up stage names, I really need to get back to that feeling again. He used to say, “People are crazy, you say your name is Sam Dishwatta in the credits of a film, people will search out a Dishwatta they will prove the name is actually a name, they will make up a life and a death, and they will track down a Dishwatta and ask them about their films.” He could really make me laugh with that. When you think about all the Hell created just because John Hallam took the “H” off of the word Brandish for a last name for my stage name, you really have to laugh at it. Course that wasn’t what caused it, what caused it was America, in America if you are in a sitcom or soap opera, even if only in one episode, even if you don’t have lines, suddenly you are more famous and more talked about than “Brittney Spears” ROFLMAO! Every time someone talks to me about Punky Brewster I want to look strait at them and say, “You do realize that you are talking to an actor with 19 international Oscars and Stars in 5 countries right?” LOL And then they bring up whatever was invented about him, to that I just say “Nik Off!” lol. I was remembering the other day when I looked at Lee and said “I want to be a John Smith!” he threw a shuriken at my head and said “Now Stop That!” lol. I don’t mind my past, and I feel like threatening to repeat it, but the truth is if I really used my name in everything I did back then, I’d be more famous the world over than any actor ever in history, and famous not for my award winning roles, famous as an extra, and a b movie star, because America would classify it that way. I’m happier the way it all turned out, and I’m still going, looking for that director that will put me in “Sharknado” and that director that will have me do voice in an animation so I can again put “Jonathan Brandis” in the credits. This is me in the TV series “The Master Ninja” #Johnhallam #punkybrewster #brittneyspears #sharknado #stagenames #actorswithstagenames #leevancleef #shokosugi #timvanpattan #themasterninja #ninjatvshows #christopherstewart #jonathanbrandis #alexhydewhite #shanebriant #nikoff https://www.instagram.com/p/BtulexCDnNX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nxb37ozdhay2

A wizard’s apprentice sets out to fight a dragon to save the young girls of a far away kingdom. My god the 80s, Hensony-ness of it. (The scenes at Craggenmore reminded me of Hensen’s The Storyteller show) The smoke/drum entrance, was it supposed to happen like that? or was Ulrich supposed to walk Through the smoke to make his entrance? Holy young #PeterMacNicol (8 yrs before Ghostbusters, 12 yrs before Addams Family Values) - his first film and first leading role! The revelation of (spoiler alert) Valerian being a girl was a bit predictable, but the build up to the full reveal of the #VerminthraxPejorative - seeing only bits and pieces and then finally the whole thing - was teased out nicely. The baby dragons reminded me of the dogs from Ghostbusters (oOoOoOo 😯 foreshadowing for MacNicol!), and the Urlanders depiction of dragons just made me laugh. Why did no girl ever just shimmy up the pole and at least unhook the chain attached to her shackles and run off? I liked the music from the feast better without the flutes but that might just be me, and the sound of the cave (the footfalls and dripping water) 👌🏼👌🏼. The kings want/desperation to save his daughter rang false - he just seemed so indifferent to everything. #FunFact: after seeing this movie I found both a dvd and a copy of the book based on the movie and a Half Price Books in Madison. (didn’t buy either, had no money 😕) #ssmovieof2018 #action #adventure #fantasy #dragons #CaitlynClarke #RalphRichardson (my god that whole ending) #JohnHallam (he looked like Sly Stallone) #PeterEyre #AlbertSalmi #SydneyBromley (aww Hodge) #ChloeSalaman #EmerysJames (that weapon he made 😮) #RogerKemp #IanMcDiarmid writers: #HalBarwood, #MatthewRobbins (written by) director: Matthew Robbins movie of 2018 number 39) #Dragonslayer https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq8pn1unP9t/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vgdxbutuc83z
