After appearing in two number one movies in 2009, Paul Blart: Mall Cop and The Hangover, Mike V is once again going Hollywood as he scored a role in the remake of the 80’s blockbuster a rel=nofollow target=_blank href=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1234719/Red Dawn/a. Mike plays an arms dealer in the film and also evades explosions and gun fire while doing stunt work as a Russian Soldier in the film due out a year from now in November of 2010. He had to cut off his long hair and beard for the role, which was time to hit the reset button anyway, the movie role just gave me a good excuse to get a haircut. See Mike’s fresh cut over at a rel=nofollow target=_blank href=http://www.shredordie.com/videos/baa0d778da/free-lunch-with-mike-vallely-part-1Shred Or Die, his 4 part Free Lunch is now playing/a.
