Jerky Cast and Crew

Happy PicturePaul-- Aaron Moody

Paul is just your average kid at about 18 to 19 years old. He is dealing with a lot of the issues you find in kids his age. He's confused about love, life, and friends, and he doesn't have a very good relationship with his father. Paul is searching the world for the answers to all of his questions. He knows that he doesn't really fit in with the hippy crowd, but enjoys the fact that they are not very judgemental and are easy going.

As soon as Moonshine enters the picture, Paul falls for her immediately. His attraction to her is purely lustful.

Aaron Moody came to Los Angeles in January of 1999.  He began his career in a Cleo award winning commercial for the Volkswagon Cabrio and has since done a total of seven national commercials for products ranging from Cyder Jack Malt Liquor to 1-800-CALL-ATT.  The Truth About Beef Jerky was Aaron's first short film, but since finishing it he has appeared as the lead in the film The Big Idea and as Jim Christ in Meet Jim Christ.  Aaron is currently producing a short film that he will also star in titled Smoked. 

"For me the whole film was an amazing experience.  The comic energy in the script spilled off the screen and onto the set, making every day more like going to play than to work.  From the first day to the last, I would wake up every morning looking forward to getting back to the set.  The most difficult thing was making myself retire to my room at the end of each night.  I loved how liberal Fritz, Boyd and Hunter were with there choices on set. It didn't matter how crazy or twisted an idea seemed at first, if it tickled their funny bone, it was burned onto film."
