Deadbacks' principal performers include:

		Kodie Nagy Montgomery      Victoria      Actress and model Kodie Nagy Montgomery is a veteran of numerous theater productions, particularly at St. Edwards University’s Mary Moody Northern Theater. She accurately lists “sarcasm” among her many skills.      Kodie plays Victoria, one-time daughter of a wealthy turn-of-the-20th-century family, now a ghost who has escaped the world of the dead and wishes to find happiness in the world of the living.
		Adrian Quiñonez      Matt      Houston-area model/actor Adrian Quiñonez is a veteran of theater (particularly at the Abilene Repertory Company), industrial shows, and commercials. An athlete and martial artist, he is also a guitarist and artist. Many of his original works of art dress the set where much of the Deadbacks action takes place.      Adrian portrays Matt Herrera, an artist whose marriage is already crumbling when he meets Victoria, a mysterious woman who encourages him to pursue happiness instead of business success.
		Nicole Graf      Tina      A chameleonlike performer with considerable range, Nicole has portrayed a ninja, a snobbish sorority girl, and a teenaged masochist in short films, and is most proud of her participation in a staging of The Vagina Monologues.      Nicole plays Tina Herrera, Matt’s wife, whose life and marriage are not turning out the way they were supposed to... and who makes some hard decisions, with harder consequences, to make things work the way she wants them to.
		Neil Fennell      Hank      Musician/actor Neil Fennell has performed in a variety of film and theater projects, including the Central Texas favorite, Greater Tuna.      Neil plays Hank Ivey, an avid hunter and one-time boyfriend of Tina. He has reentered her life at a time when he might just be able to reclaim her from former rival Matt.
		Andrea Stevens      Karen      A former ExxonMobil executive, Andrea has made several independent films, worked in TV, and performed in theater as Blanche in A Streetcar Named Desire.      Andrea portrays Karen Warden, an immigration official who looks for illegal immigrants in the vicinity of Matt Herrera’s ranch... and finds more than she expected.
		Robert Spivey      Mitchell      Austin-based performer Robert Spivey was recently featured in another movie about flesh-eating undead, Day X. Robert is also an artist, singer, and web designer.      Robert plays Mitchell, the first of Hank’s hunting buddies. Mitchell, crude and hard-living, is protective of his friends — a trait that becomes increasingly important as flesh-hungry ghosts begin walking the Earth.
		Jason Konopisos      Sarge      A very busy performer, Jason acts in independent and studio films (including New Line’s Secondhand Lions and 20th Century Fox’s 3001), produces, performs stand-up comedy, and does voice work for anime specialist ADV Films.      Jason plays Sarge, an upstanding Army veteran and atural leader... who just happens to be dead.
		Matthew Bushong      Jim      Austinite Matthew Bushong has appeared in the CBS teleplay of Picnic (2000) and has had extensive training with Mona Lee and Les McGehee at the prestigious Bright Lights Acting Studio.      Matthew portrays Jim, the second of Hank’s hunting buddies — a peaceful man caught in a decidedly unpeaceful situation.
		Paul Smith      Stephen      Radio-industry insider Paul Smith has film experience with several independent Production companies and the University of Texas’ new filmmaking company, Burnt Orange Productions.      Paul portrays Stephen, a one-time schoolteacher who died when Elvis Presley’s star was just rising. A decent man whose chief concern is education, he finds himself woefully out of place in the modern world of the living.
		Melissa Holmes      Rafaella      Melissa Holmes has extensive theater experience, particularly with Colorado’s Mary Miller Theater. Recently she appeared in another zombie thriller, Day X, with Robert Spivey.      Melissa plays Rafaella, one of the more flamboyant and bloodthirsty members of the undead.
		Kirk Lansdon      Larry      Kirk’s career history sounds like the stuff of a television series protagonist — he has been a USMC pilot trainee and communications officer, TV news anchor, disc jockey of an underground rock station, businessman, and private investigator. He is equally at home in front of and behind the camera (as a freelance director of photography and sound/lighting supervisor for Austin’s Riverbend Chirch).      He brings his military experience to his role as Larry, an ex-serviceman whom death has given a strange new perspective on life.
