LYT as “Casanova, the love doctor” in the forthcoming horror short “Mr. Lonely,” written and directed by Bryan Coyne.

Most of the shoot took place in a hot tub. The film is set in 1989, and Casanova is host of a video dating service (for you kids, before there was Internet dating, people would pay lots of money to record VHS videos and get matched up with others who had done likewise based on their on-camera testimonials. Watch the movie SINGLES for a pretty spot-on parody of how this worked).
Anyway, the protagonist of the film, our Mr. Lonely, uses this dating service, and, well, I did mention this was a horror short, right? So let’s just say the dates don’t work out very well.
But as far as my performance, I was mainly channeling William Shatner, Robert Wagner, and that dude who plays Victor on Young and the Restless (I think…it’s whichever soap my grandmother used to like). The aging ham, basically.
Look for Mr. Lonely to hit the festival circuit next year. And if you program a festival, drop me a line and we’ll talk about it.
Also, I think I may keep the mustache for a while.
You look like the uncle who molests me in my nightmares. Congratulations.
Worst, you look like a young Sir Douglas Dunning.
I think the director will be very happy with the above reactions!
i have written long on the transformative nature of the mustache. you here are a fascinating case study.
it’s a great look. good work.
also, there was a pretty amazing feature film called “Mr. Lonely” that happened to come out this year…
CASANOVA’S TOP FIVE PICKUP LINES
5. “Hey baby, wanna come upstairs and see my own personal plaster face cast?”
4. “I think you’ll find I’m more than twice the man compared to that Gustavo Arellano joker fella”
3. “Smile?! Smiling is for wimps!”
2. “I’ve got some very special Courvoisier at home just for you”
1. “Hey, who are YOU to resist my charms, eh?”

Just saw it recently. Ours is semantically different in title, as the feature is technically called “Mister Lonely.”
Needless to say, different subject matter too.
Casanova’s actual #1 pickup line:
“It’s COCK-tail hour!”
You look like you should have an outrageously bad European accent that isn’t quite identifiable.
I kinda dig the `stache…
You should start rocking a Speedo at the beach.
