Lance Warlock Biography

Growing up with a father who was a stuntman, I never knew what to expect. Going to the Walt Disney Studios lot to watch my dad, Dick Warlock, in action were experiences I will never forget. For the majority of people, this was a fantasyland... a dream job. For me, it was simply reality. My Dad got up everyday to go to work to fall off buildings, get into fights, walk on fire, and play a killer. Doesn't everyone's Dad do that?

Then in 1981, the call came in. Dad was asked to return to work in his role as the soon to be legendary killer, Michael Myers for 3 additional days on "Halloween II." The film was finished when John Carpenter wanted to add a few things to the final cut.

During those 3 days, I would have the chance of a lifetime. For a kid of 12 years old, who had grown up around it, I was now going to live it! Carpenter asked me to play the small part of the "Boom Box Boy". What else would you say when John Carpenter asks you to be in his film? "Yes, sir! Please?"

From there, I had the opportunity of working with my dad on different films for 5 consecutive summers. I was a stunt double in both "Halloween III" and "Angel." I can also be spotted in an episode of "Baywatch," thanks to my brother, Billy Warlock, who was one of the original stars of the show. He and I grew up around this for so long, it seemed only reasonable that we would attempt to make our marks in the entertainment business. Acting became Billy's passion. He landed parts on "Days of our Lives," "General Hospital," and even "Happy Days." Dad, Billy, and I have always joked that "Halloween II" was a family affair because we all were in the film. Again, how cool was that?

For me, music and movies have always been a part of my life. It seemed only natural to integrate the two. I have always believed in working hard to achieve your dreams. I have since had the opportunity to score such films as the horror, suspense film, "Fallen Angels" and the worldwide DVD documentary, "Halloween: 25 Years of Terror." My latest project is for director Dante Tomaselli's newest thriller, "The Ocean."

Today my music partner, Leon Bradford, and I are on a quest to get our names out there. Our passion for music and film is our driving force, and our ultimate goal is to get our music heard around the world.
