Handsomm DAVE.

There he is in all his glory.

The one who calls himself "Handsomm Dave". (His real name is Dave Handsomm).

He is a movie extra, just like my roommate and I. But he also does stunt work on the side. Handsomm is an extremely secure guy. I think that has a lot to do with his super white teeth. Vince seems to think it's because he's very successful with the ladies. I think both are true. He got these new teeth a couple of years ago,at a huge discount, and since then, he's been the Hugh Heffner of the extra community. One lucky guy...


Handsomm lives in this 1930's motor home he turned into the perfect Bachelor Pad.

He can also drive it around. He replaced the engine with some Corvette V8 that has 2 or 3 turbos on it. He claims he can drive that wooden structure up to 130mph on the highway. I'm sure he tried.

My roommate Phil doesn't like that guy too much. That's because when he's around, Phil has zero chances of finding a girlfriend that day.

Handsomm claims he went out with all the girls on the pictures in his room/motor home.

I believe it.


Last week, the Mojo Agency called us to work on a direct to DVD movie called "The Love Bullet". Everything takes place in the $400 000 motor home. Which is basically the producer's house.

Phil and I were very exited. But he later had to fight a severe depression when he found out they had hired Handsomm Dave to be the stunt driver.

Handsomm got the job when he claimed he "drove these all his life".


When he saw the dashboard, Handsomm got panicky, and claimed he had to be somewhere and left the set in a hurry...

There was some kind of an argument with the producers. But later in the morning, Mr. Dave came back.

You have to admit, it can be pretty intimidating, even to a guy like me, who's used to drive an AMC Pacer every day.


A few minutes later, Handsomm took of, with Phil Schwartzetti inside. (Phil was in the bathroom when the truck left the set).

Within a few minutes, Handsomm was driving that thing like if it was a sports car. He was doing at least 90 m.p.h. when I took that picture.

It was going even too fast to film it. And Handsomm wouldn't answer the producers when they tried to reach him on the radio.


When Phil took this shot, Handsomm Dave was really excited. He was flooring it, and screaming at the same time.

His face got very red, and his teeth were brighter than ever. And Phil swears his yellow hair is not natural. He thinks handsommm actually wears a wig...


After a couple of hours behind the wheel, Handsomm fell asleep. Phil didn't notice at first.

Because, the bus was still going strong at about 95 m.p.h. So Phil went in the back and got a couple of drinks.

When he came back to the front, Phil tried to shake Handsomm and wake him up. That was not a good idea. Handsomm got up, and started fighting with Phil. While the truck was still going... Phil claims he tried to get Handsomm's wig off his head, but couldn't.


That's a picture taken by the police a few minutes after the accident. They found my roommate locked up in the bathroom. All the way in the back of the bus.

For a while, they couldn't find Handsomm Dave. They even thought he had jumped off the truck. But suddenly, a bright light came from behind the windshield. Handsomm was OK, and he was smiling.

He is currently being sued by the production company, and the Stuntmen's Union.
