Over 25 years ago, a little blond boy spent his time growing up in a small rural town called Crossfield, Alberta. It was a little Redneck town where the only excitement was watching paint dry on the house next door, but most of the time Mike spent his days coloring outside the lines. He was much different than any other boy, he was artistic; entertaining the town either singing, fondling his Trumpet, or performing as his alter ego 'Chuck'. He was the envy of many admirers, so Mike ran away to the Caribbean to work on a Cruise liner for a few years; but now, he spends his days terrorizing the citizens of Toronto as a local aspiring Actor. Beaten, Bloody and Brutally Murdered is a usual weekend in his eyes.
