Less than ten years ago, Christopher Mintz-Plasse got his start as an actor when he was cast as the nerdy “McLovin’” in the Judd Apatow-produced comedy Superbad, and playing the nerd is a role the actor has embraced for much of his career since.
But he’s also managed to start a fairly prolific career as a voice actor after being cast as the voice of the Viking “Fish Legs” in DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon. While Mintz-Plasse has continued to voice that role through a sequel and a number of “Dragons” TV series, he’s taking on a new role for DreamWorks Animations’ latest animated film, Trolls.
As some might suspect, the movie is based on the “Good Luck Troll” dolls that have permeated little girls’ doll collections for decades. Mintz-Plasse voices the role of King Gristle, king of the Bergens, a race of miserable...

Read More: Shane Carruth Heads To Hollywood As He Gears Up Big Budget Nautical Adventure 'The Modern Ocean' If the thought of writer-director Shane Carruth and actress Amy Seimetz reuniting scares you a little bit — their last collaboration, "Upstream Color," was one of the most densely challenging sci-fi movies of the last decade — you can rest easy, as their SXSW-nominated short film "We'll Find Something" has finally hit Vimeo in all its romantically accessible glory. A far cry from the puzzling pigs and orchards of their last acclaimed project, "We'll Find Something" is a 12-minute romantic drama about a couple wandering the streets of New York City as they struggle to find the right place to eat. It's perhaps the simplest of storylines when compared to "Upstream Color," though Carruth and Seimetz's expert chemistry is once again at the forefront, and the duo quietly express their characters'...

The multitalented Shane Carruth ("Upstream Color") and Amy Seimetz ("Sun Don't Shine") show off their formidable acting chops in Casey Gooden's 12-minute SXSW short "We'll Find Something," about a couple visiting New York and looking for food—as well as "something" else—on a Friday night in New York. "Watch: 'The Girlfriend Experience' Channels Steven Soderbergh's Cool (Trailer)" As early evening passes into late night, and the frustrations of the overcrowded city spill over into pre-existing marital and professional problems, both Carruth and Seimetz carry off the "ornery" nature of the conversation convincingly—and Gooden's unfussy direction and naturalistic dialogue suggests an emerging, lo-fi talent. What may be most remarkable, though, is that Carruth and Seimetz found the time to participate at all: he's preparing for his next feature, "The Modern Ocean," and her TV series "The Girlfriend...

"Can you just be supportive?" Here's another short film to watch whenever you have the time. This one is called We'll Find Something, and it actually starts Shane Carruth and Amy Seimetz, as well as Julia Farell. The two play a couple on a trip to New York City looking for somewhere to get some food, all the while discussing various relationship topics and other random trifles. This short is fresh out of the SXSW Film Festival, where it initially premiered earlier this year, as well as the Maryland Film Festival, and is now available online in full for free via Vimeo below. It's nothing spectacular, but it is a nice little short to enjoy. From Vimeo - thanks to The Film Stage for the tip. Description: We'll Find Something is a short film written and directed by Casey Gooden. A couple struggles to choose a restaurant while visiting New York City.
