Erickson shares, “Random Nature Productions believes that quality short-form programming on the internet is the future. Their goal is to provide theater-quality, awe-inspiring entertainment via desktop. I love YouTube videos and I am excited to be a part of this new wave of entertainment.”

In support of the “Lost and Found” YouTube premiere, William and the director, McKevin, will be interviewed live by Real Muzic Web Radio on January 2, 2008 at 9pm EST. The interview will be a full hour-- covering everything from how William prepared for the role, to how the film secured amazing music from internationally-known musicians.

In addition to starring in the film “Lost and Found,” William played a small role in “The Box” starring Cameron Diaz and James Marsden; had the pleasure of meeting with director Richard Kelly (“Donnie Darko,” “Southland Tales”) and booked the supporting role of Monroe Brody for Stephen Ryder’s (“LIE”) upcoming production, “Long Black Veil.”

In 2008, William will continue to expand his horizons via dance and music. He plans to take up dance lessons as well as work with musician/songwriter Paul Edward Yalen to produce a music demo.
