Rey Oliver Bune
"You're doing what? Really? Well, good luck with that" were the encouraging and heartwarming words heard by Rey Oliver Bune when he decided to add to his life of Master of Science to Lovable Actor. The change has been painful(it is a lot harder than you think to take the tape off the middle of glasses) but he has loved every second of it. He has been on the set of a number of films and asked enough questions to security to break into two of them as the lead in 'Encounters' and 'Deployment Strategy'(imustmakethisfilm.com). Recently he has been trying to make more friends come to New York from other states by performing in the plays 'Hellcab' and 'The Crucible' with Rising Sun and with the resident improv troupe, Solar Powered Flashlight. He sincerely thanks God, his new fiancee, his family, his friends, the Rutgers football team and everyone who has and will always support him. Love ya, Babes!!!
