Ned Walsh plays Tom, Leigh’s husband, in a series of flashbacks depicting the turmoil created by Leigh’s visions. Ned is another example of what happens when you recruit local, untapped talent. I had ambitiously scheduled 14 scenes to be filmed in one day at the farmhouse. When Ned arrived, on-time and enthusiastic for his film debut we were behind schedule. I mean really behind schedule. On this particular day mid-July with temperatures somewhere in the 90’s while the crew was dripping with sweat Ned graciously waited patiently for his turn behind the camera.
Ned is a natural and was a delight to work with. His engaging portrayal of Tom will leave viewers wanting more. No doubt.
Tell me a little about yourself.
Born abroad and on the go until age ten when my parents settled into York, PA, my father’s home city. All of my formative development has happened in York where I attended York Catholic High and later studied at Penn State. After University I was an officer in the Marine Corps and after service, I moved back to York, where I have been ever since. I began a family and my professional career has always afforded me the chance to stay, for which I am grateful.
