The Great American Chicken Leg
Playing Patrick Towers
The Great American Chicken Leg was created by the very talented film students of the Chapman/Dodge University in late 2023.
A comedy about a dysfunctional, uber-rich family fighting over the attention of their father, who, even though well in his 70's, has no plan of retiring yet.
This absurd, funny comedy hits its beats beautifully. While it makes you laugh, it also makes you think about the absurdity of captialism, family businesses, critizising the seemingly unending freedom big corporations enjoy in the American system.
Though, not much of a talker, Patrick Towers is right up there with his wife and her rivals in trying to please the president and father of the family.
This role allowed me to explore a lot of the body language that is such a huge part of any natural interaction. Written in as the silent observer, Patrick Towers quickly became one of the casts favorite characters as a pleasant surprise of mine.
