From Johnny:
re "Finding Home"
"I'm nothing like Nick. I'm more of the... I mean my essence, it seems like I always play the me person... I've been getting, like the
last five roles that I've had basically been that. I actually have that whole feeling of you know, treat others as you want to be treated.
You know that's how I try to live my life, and he (NIck) certainly does not do that.

Re Bill Johnson
"Bill's a mess," admits Messner. "He's ended up in Borneo to begin a new life but can't escape his demons. He's kind
of a drunk, he's a gambler and he's in debt. All he owns in life is his beaten-up old boat. He's an interesting character
though, because he's not all bad. Underneath he's got a pretty good heart - he's just made some bad decisions in life."

Victoria Paige Meyerink Producer "Finding Home"
"Johnny Messner who plays Jason, is an amazing dude. This guy has an outrageous physic as you can tell and
he happens to be a really fine actor. It's kind of an amazing combination. I think he's great in this movie. He's
got a really solid presence and gives Cynthia Nixon's character a ray of hope." Alex Steyermark director "One Last Thing."
Little credits Messner with making a tough role - an American exiled from his own country - not a clichÈ.
"He's so grounded as an actor that he kept the movie in a real place and not in a `movie movie' place," says Little.
