I think there’s an air of legitimacy to the show that other music shows have maybe fallen short with. We have Juliet Simms (Lilith Czar), your wife in there.Īndy: I’ve always said if you’re going to do a music show, the best way to do it is to do it with music people. I love that there were some real-life musicians in the show – as a viewer, this element really brought Paradise City to life. So, while I wasn’t an overnight success like Johnny, I can relate to the feeling like you’re trying to discover yourself in a world that’s assumed you already know who you are. And for me, because I was so young, when I started touring, I relate to the idea where suddenly you’re thrown into this thing. In many cases, I think it’s more difficult for those people, because they haven’t gone through all the steps to get to where you feel like you can handle a situation. It’s that I’ve seen that with other bands, and I’ve toured with artists who didn’t “pay their dues” and how a lot of people look down on that. Whereas Johnny’s journey is one where he kind of decides he wants to be in a band, moves to L.A., gets a deal, and all of a sudden is internationally famous.Īnd it’s not that I relate to that journey. Those are things that took a lot of time. I started touring when I was a very young teenager playing in clubs, bars, basements, show swaps and touring in a car, to get to the point where we were playing in front of these big crowds or had notoriety, a gold record or anything else. For me, I was a “road dog” as they say, for years and years. He can do some things that are pretty villainous within the course of the show, and it’s interesting to play that.īeing in a successful band, do you feel that you relate to Johnny being a rock star?Īndy: Our life is different in the way that our careers happened, or the trajectory of our careers and how. He’s newly sober, he’s trying to make decisions, he doesn’t trust himself yet, and he often times is well-intended, but makes the wrong decision. So that’s kind of where Johnny is at in this show. When I stopped drinking, I did my first tour and it was amazing.

So, doing the scenes where I’m overdosing … I was able to kind of at least on an emotional level, understand where the character’s journey was going.īy the time we shot the TV show, I’m several years sober, with a very different perspective in my life. But the idea of drug use, or alcoholism, or all these kinds of things were not so foreign to me that I couldn’t understand, at least on an emotional level, what the character was going through. I was never a hard drug user or addicted to anything like heroin or anything like that.
Then I was playing this character who was falling prey to drug addiction and alcoholism. How did you make that transition to where Faust is at in his life, from American Satan to Paradise City?Īndy: On a personal level, when we did the movie, I had just kind of gotten sober and was making a lot of life changes for myself.
