Q1. Hello, can you please introduce yourself? Readers would love to know more about you.
A1.ย Ever since he was a child, Mirich has been fascinated with writing. It seemed that early on he was able to express on the written page what he wasnโt able to convey in spoken words. Writing became a way of life for him, in the darkest times of childhood trauma – exposing the depth of his feelings โ to the joyous times โ describing worlds that only he could imagine. He caught the theater bug in college and began writing plays and poetry. While acting in Chicago, he published a smattering of poems and took home awards for best actor in several theater dramas. The trend continued after he moved to Los Angeles. The poetry took a back seat to the playwriting and he established himself as a formidable presence in the LA theater scene. The Los Angeles Times once called him a Tour de Force for his portrayal of Sid Vicious โ bass player for the infamous punk band, the Sex Pistols โ in the play entitled โVicious.โ He went on to write, direct and star in many plays and a musical over the next decade. During that time, he also set his hand to screenwriting and film acting. He has starred in several independent movies as well as one of the most popular Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes ever, โRelics,โ and wrote a handful of scripts โ both screen and television โ for the Hollywood Studios. He also wrote, directed and starred in two movies: Critics and Cold Sweat, and created and produced a number of pilots and series for Discovery Channel including the show Shipwreck Men. Damn Cat brings Mirich back to his first love, writing a story and simply putting it on paper. It has always been a dream of his to become a novelist, and now with Damn Cat, he has.
