The Seymour Cassel Award for ‘Outstanding Performance’ by an Actor goes to: ANDRÈ HENNICKE for “Strawberry Bubblegums”!
The jury’s verdict: “For an actor familiar to audiences, ‘type casting’ can be a prison. The untapped resources of an artist too often remain so. So it is with sheer delight and excitement when an actor is not only given an opportunity to spread his wings, but to fly. From the first moment he appears on screen, every word, every gesture, every muscular emotion is fully present in a transformational role – and a long overdue breakout for this artist. Walking the fine line between comedy and pathos, he is the connective tissue to the humanity that makes this film resonates so deeply and with such dignity for so many. And in the spirit of Seymour Cassel, it is truly an ‘Outstanding Performance’.”
