What about Brian.

The year 1984 meant a lot of things to a lot of people. Many of you may remember it as a time of great artistic achievement; Penthouse magazine published nude photographs of the newly-crowned Miss America, Vanessa Williams; Michael Jackson's hair caught fire during the filming of a Pepsi commercial; Punky Brewster premiered to national audiences and I made a finger painting that forced onlookers to search deep within their souls and ask, “is that green squiggle a My Little Pony or an 18th century cotton gin?”

1984 was also a big year for motion pictures; and, in an effort to drum up national interest in his newest project, "Full Metal Jacket", Stanley Kubrick placed ads throughout the U.S. asking aspiring young actors to send in audition tapes for a part in his movie. As you might imagine, hundreds of thousands of tapes streamed in; however, throughout the clutter, the most notable talents are bound to shine through…..and, in that light, I present to you the audition tape of Brian Atene.
