Actor, Stuntman and Fitness Entrepreneur scores role in ‘LIVE BY NIGHT’ by Ben Affleck and Launches X3S Bench

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Feb. 15, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Zak Lee Guarnaccia is a multifaceted actor, Hollywood stuntman, filmmaker, martial artist and fitness expert, whose career has been evolving in film, television, martial arts and fitness for well-over two decades. Guarnaccia is thrilled to join the cast on "Live by Night" playing the role of Adomo Valocco on the upcoming American crime film, written and directed by the Oscar-winning director Ben Affleck, based on the 2012 novel of the same name by Dennis Lehane and distributed by Warner Bros. Affleck is also producing along with Leonardo DiCaprio.

Actor/Stuntman, Executive Producer at LightRow Pictures ( http://www.lightrow.com/ ) Guarnaccia says: "Even though for someone my role might look small, but the truth is there are no small parts, only small actors. With the right actor, in the right role, a few minutes, a handful of words or none, are all that's needed for magic to happen. Having this fantastic opportunity with only a few lines doesn't give me an excuse to slack off, instead will boost my passion on what I do best."

As a performer, Zak Lee Guarnaccia possesses the passion of Antonio Banderas and the intensity of Gary Oldman, along with a dash of an Italian attitude thrown in for spice.

Guarnaccia never forgets his Martial Arts and Fitness roots and has just launched his new fitness product the X3S Bench ( http://www.TheX3Sbench.com/ ) a great piece of equipment to include in any fitness program from Cross Training to Home Training; distributed worldwide by The ABS Company, a company that is specified just for abs exercise and that created the original ABS Roller and several other fitness equipment products.

In addition, Zak Lee Guarnaccia and Paul Lupi, Producer of Lupi Pictures LLC, are in production for 2016 of the independent feature film in the martial-arts, action-thriller genre entitled "Kalm."

Guarnaccia's gritty film style and performance grabbed the attention of Paul Lupi whose company Lupi Pictures LLC is now in talks to co-produce properties in the Lightrow roster.

Award-winning actor Zak Lee Guarnaccia's rugged looks, relentless style of martial arts, and experience in stunt-work and action choreography has lead to his reputation as "The Italian Buster Keaton."

Guarnaccia keeps showing not just his rugged looks -- to play villain or a con man -- but as well his Italian comedy timing on Mercury Insurance national commercial on air now: http://youtu.be/Nsd35NsPWvA .

Guarnaccia's recent appearances include the Pablo henchman on MARVEL TV SERIES "AGENT X" Produced by Sharon Stone, the upcoming TV shows "Rush Hour" and "Criminal Minds Beyond Borders," "The LAST SHIP," "NCIS Los Angeles" and "Trafficked" with Ashley Judd (a great movie with the subject on human trafficking) -- just to mention a few.

With the new "X3S Dreams, a self-expression" video, says Guarnaccia: "The naysayers tried to keep me from living my dreams, but I kept dreaming, and I keep on living. I never stop investing on myself, the pay-off is what I live for. My Passion is, and always will be, my constant motivation."

Imprisoned Actor Steve Comisar Joins the Ranks of Hollywood’s Social Media Superstars

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Dec. 7, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Steve Comisar is an actor who has appeared in numerous films, TV shows, and commercials. He is also a felon completing the last year of a 15 year federal prison sentence for fraud. The unique combination of felon and actor is apparently very appealing to the public. Just ask Comisar's half a million Twitter followers or the over one million fans that have viewed his YouTube videos.

Comisar's publicist, Laura Levine, says, "Steve has a lot more social media fans than some of the much bigger stars I represent. If this is any indication of how he is going to do as an actor after he is released, Steve will be a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood. All he needs is a little help getting started."

While in prison, Comisar has not been shy in personally contacting some very famous people and asking them for a little career assistance upon release. This has been covered by the national news media in various articles.

Comisar said, "I've recently asked some A-list actors, directors, and producers to help me by giving me roles in their movies after I'm released next year. It's still too soon to tell what's going to happen but I'm going to think positive."

Comisar's manager, Victor Kruglov, said, "If any powerful actor or director says that Steve can be in their movie, Steve will be in their movie. That's all Steve needs to nail this. I think a lot of stars are going to step-up and help him."

Comisar's attorney, Jeremy Gordon, adds, "A very famous actor recently told me, 'I put my actor friends in my films all the time. I could easily do the same for Steve. I'm always trying to help the underdog.'"

Retired ICM talent agent, Barry Freed, said, "The public loves the Steve Comisar story. If his social media popularity is a barometer of his future success, he's going to book a lot of major acting jobs. When Wesley Snipes got out of prison last year, he quickly landed an NBC series. Everyone loves a good comeback."

Comisar, 53, grew up in Beverly Hills, California, with the original "Brat Pack" and has been acting since a very young age. He will be released from prison next year and will return to Beverly Hills to reunite with his family and friends.

No celebrity endorsement claimed or implied.

Jailed Actor Steve Comisar Asks President Obama for an Early Release

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Sept. 1, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE -- Steve Comisar is an actor who has appeared in dozens of movies, television shows, and commercials. He is also serving a federal prison sentence for fraud.

Through the President's clemency power, a sentence can be commuted and a prisoner can be released with the stroke of a pen. In July, Obama commuted the sentences of 48 federal prisoners. Comisar's petition should already be on the President's desk, ready for his next round of releases.

Comisar's attorney, Jeremy Gordon says: "Steve deserves an early release just as much, if not more, than the other offenders Obama is releasing. He has already served over 85 percent of his sentence for a non-violent crime. All of the other inmates being released are in prison for selling crack cocaine. The President plans to grant a lot more early releases before his term ends. I'm confident Steve will be one of them."

Comisar says, "I'm hoping the President will give me the same consideration that he gave to the other people he is releasing early. There are a lot of big stars who served time in prison that can really help me when I get out. With a little help from the President and Hollywood's celebrity felons, I really think I can make it. Everyone loves a good comeback."

Comisar's publicist, Nanci Ryder says, "Steve is also launching a non-profit charity that will help imprisoned actors. He's calling it, 'Stars Behind Bars.' Soon other actors in trouble with the law can get the help they need. We are planning a website, industry fundraisers, and monthly events hosted by Hollywood A-listers. This all begins when Steve is released."

Comisar, now 53, grew up in Beverly Hills with the original "Brat Pack" and has been acting since a very young age. He currently commands an enormous global, social media fan base which is growing each day. Without clemency from the President, Comisar will be released from prison in early 2017.

Uproar Entertainment Announces New Comedy CD by Travis Simmons

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., July 7, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Uproar Entertainment is pleased to announce the release of Travis Simmons' newest comedy CD, "The Truth Hurts." Simmons' brilliant observations, amazing impressions, and astute political commentary are as compelling and authentic as they are hilarious. "The Truth Hurts" was recorded at The Comedy Underground in Seattle, Wash. and is Simmons' first recording for Uproar Entertainment.

Travis Simmons has one very simple goal, and that is "to change the world for the better, one expressed thought at a time." The Pacific Northwest phenom has played rooms big and small since launching his comedic career at a Comedy Underground open mic night in 1997. The night before, he had gone to an open mic night just to watch, saw a few people perform and thought to himself, "Hey, I can do that!" He went home, wrote a few jokes and went back the next night. His first words on stage were "What if Darth Vader was a pimp?" Since then, Simmons has firmly established himself as a local favorite and broadened his influence to the international stage, igniting fits of laughter in audiences everywhere he goes.

"The Big Funny - that's a great name!" said Dave Chappelle.

Born in Milwaukee, Wis., Simmons is more than just your average comedian. A student of the Civil Rights Movement and outspoken human rights activist, Simmons makes it his business to be the voice of the people, for the people, addressing everything from racism to homophobia to women's rights, both on and off the stage. In addition to his live comedy shows, Simmons' Funny 4 Food charity shows have raised over $50,000 for food banks in Western Washington and the shows have now expanded to Oregon.

His Christmas events "Jokes for Little Folks" have generated 7,000 toys for kids in Seattle and Tacoma. Simmons has over 3 million video plays on YouTube and he is in the regular rotation on Raw Dog Comedy and Jamie Foxx's Foxxhole on Sirius XM Satellite Radio. He is an impressionist, the winner of the "I Sound More like Bill Cosby than Bill Cosby" contest, 2nd runner-up in "The 2009 Seattle International Comedy Competition," and 1st runner up at the 2013 Big Sky Comedy Competition.

When Simmons isn't changing the world with his stand-up and philanthropic efforts, he finds other, equally enviable tasks to occupy his time. He is also the creator of FOCUS ON THE FUNNY, a stand-up comedy workshop, and in post-production on his first documentary, "Weed is Safer than Alcohol," filmed at 2014's Hempfest in Seattle, Wash. He runs a daily marathon podcast where he digs deep with other comedians on anti-racist and progressive ideas using his oratory skills to "...tell the truth to society, whether society wants to hear it or not." He makes people laugh by being honest, telling the truth, and sprinkling in an impression or two. He is one of the good guys, dedicated to comedy for the sake of people.

Simmons is highly regarded, and widely applauded for both his entertainment value and his devotion to many worthy causes. He is a man of action, saying, "When bigots get loud, the good people have to get louder. Bigotry unchecked grows violent. The people with the gift of gab - orators, musicians, painters, documentarians - all artists have a responsibility to be loud about what we notice or we're traitors to ourselves and the human race." This big man with veteran chops and a booming voice that he uses to tame even the wildest road crowds is truly a force to be reckoned with in the comedy world.

Uproar Entertainment Announces New Comedy CD by Brett Riley

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., June 11, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Uproar Entertainment is pleased to announce the release of Brett Riley's first comedy CD, "I'm An Idiot." Riley's signature impersonations, witty observations, and colorful stories incite bouts of laughter from the start. "I'm An Idiot" was recorded at The Comedy Underground in Seattle, Wash. and is Riley's first recording for Uproar Entertainment.

Brett Riley is not a fish out of water; he's his own portable aquarium and the contents of this aquarium are colorful and plentiful. An accomplished comedian and vocalist with an endless grab bag of stories, observations, opinions, and impersonations, Riley is a crowd favorite in every kind of comedy and entertainment venue.

Believing he was born to entertain, Riley accepted a scholarship to Oklahoma City University for Music Theatre. He quickly realized that he was indeed meant to perform, just not music theatre. After sneaking into comedy clubs with fake IDs, getting booked as the house emcee, and winning Wichita King of Comedy 2004, it became obvious that he needed to hit the road and take it to the next level. That meant jumping right into the big time - L.A.! Riley didn't waste any time proving himself there, claiming the Funniest Comic in the City 2007 title within 6 months of his arrival in the big city, thus leading to his appearance on Judge Joe Brown to collect the prize money.

After a car accident almost claimed his life in September 2008, Riley quickly bounced back to claim the title at the Roc Da Mic Comedy Competition Compton, Calif. 2009. Most recently named "Best of Fest" at the San Luis Obispo, Calif. Comedy Festival, Riley's performance was also featured on Sirius/XM Raw Dog Radio 2013 and on Hulu under CandorTV.

A farm boy from Wichita, Kansas with the heart of a soul singer, Riley is one of the most original fresh faces to come to light in the comedy world. With the swagger of a rock front man and the likeability of a college drinking buddy, this walking "series of unfortunate events" takes the audience on a personal tour of the Brett Riley view on everything from pop-culture, relationships, family, and advice on how to mess with people, and couples it with the ability to sing well enough to make your mom forget the other stuff that comes out of his mouth.

"Brett Riley is a classic example of 'don't judge a book by its cover.' You think you know him until the first words come out of his mouth. Multi-talented, intelligent and drop dead funny - he's a force to be reckoned with in the comedy world," says David Drozen, President Uproar Entertainment.

"Forget the formula," says Brett Riley.
