Tim Harlan as Ethan	Tim Harlan Tim often refers to himself as a "sanelunatic". When asked why he chose that combination, he says "with all I have dealt with in my life, I wonder why I haven't lost my mind. Then again maybe I have." If asked if the glass is half empty or half full, he will cut the glass in half and tell you "now it's full." Tim Harlan has been on the earth for 38 years, but feels he did not start to live until 10 years ago. He is often found with a book close by, always learning new and interesting things about what he chooses to call reality. He can be stubborn, and sometimes a bit of a smart-ass but never will you find a nicer person. Acting-wise, this is Tim's first major role -- unless you count all those thankless years playing an actor in roleplaying games.
Chris "Mr." Jones as Shane	Chris "Mr." Jones Mr. Jones has done a lot of interesting things. He hosted and was featured in a weekly sketch comedy show in a seedy biker bar for two years. He was featured in the award winning mocumentary “Hooch and Daddy-O”. He has appeared on stage as everything from Yoda, Solomon Grundy, and Connor MacLeod, to Lord Angus in a post-apocalyptic adaptation of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, to a two-headed, button pushing monster named Horribus! Mr. Jones is proud to be a part of “Gameheads”. He put in 2 years of preparation for this role living in his grandparent’s basement and working at a geek boy store. In every bio he has ever written Mr. Jones thanks Bruno Funucci for no apparent reason, this bio shall be no different.
Erin K. McCann as Mallory	Erin K. McCann Erin McCann is a proud graduate of Cottey College, an all-female Liberal Arts college in southern Missouri. After dedicating much of her education to Theatre and Journalism, Erin developed a crippling fear of deadlines and retreated to the safety of Creative Writing. She has yet to publish a work. Though Erin has never acted on film, she has been in fifteen theatrical productions, and worked on the crew of twenty-eight productions. “Gameheads” has been a unique experience for Erin, not only in that it is her first film, but also because it is the closest she has come to an actual role-playing game. Previously suffering from a mild phobia of role-playing, Erin has overcome her disability to develop an understanding with role-playing culture, and is having a lovely time working on “Gameheads.”
Aaron Standridge as Jason	Aaron Standridge Aaron hasn't gotten us a bio yet, so that means we get to make something up. As an infant, Aaron Standridge was abandoned in the wilds of Pere Marquette Park. He was adopted by a pack of coyotes and raised as one of their own. In the late 1980's, Aaron was captured by Illinois State Animal Control after many raids of the park's campground. Forced into the public school system, Aaron quickly rejoined humanity with only a few minor biting incidents. All of his shots are now up to date and he gets along well in society so long as he isn't startled by loud noises.
