RAVES
"Jeremy Sisto [is] a gifted actor who has shown (in HBO's "Six Feet Under," for example) an uncanny ability to portray disturbed people in a believable, even sympathetic light." Paul Hodgins, OC Register
"A home run! Thought-provoking, sensitive, poetic and funny, with a stage full of memorable characters." Ed Kaufman, The Hollywood Reporter
"Sisto's [performance] is especially brave and chilling. That you want to pity this dangerous clown up until the point that you see pity isn't possible is a testament to Sisto's work." Evan Henerson, San Gabriel Tribune
"...an incredibly smart and moving piece of work..." Paula Jessop, LA Splash
"Nobody does nasty better than Jeremy Sisto, who gives brotherhood a bad name as creepy Billy on HBO's Six Feet Under. Dapper Billy is obliterated by the shaggy hair and beard Sisto's grown to express Shane's primitive quality. He's like Swamp Thing and you believe the story that he's the kind of guy who would vent his rage on children's milk bottles." Laura Hitchcock, Curtain Up
