Rudolph Murray (Byron Lane, Herpes Boy web series) hates his life. He has a large purple birthmark on his upper lip and everyday he finds some one staring, pointing, or calling him names – like Herpes Boy.He makes videos for the Internet in which he rants about his quirky life and zany family, including his New Age mother (Beth Grant, No Country For Old Men, Little Miss Sunshine, Donnie Darko), emotionally distant father (Michael Chieffo, L.A. Confidential), and grumpy grandmother (Julianna McCarthy, The Young and The Restless). When his “actress-slash-model-slash-dancer” cousin (Ahna O'Reilly, Forgetting Sarah Marshall) re-edits his videos to make herself more popular, it attracts a huge new audience and makes Rudolph an unlikely – and unwilling – cyber celebrity at the worst possible time in his life.
Herpes Boy also stars Octavia Spencer (Ugly Betty), Zack Silva (Days of Our Lives), and celebrities from YouTube's LonelyGirl15 and MakeMeBad35....
Herpes Boy recently held its world premiere at the 2009 Austin Film Festival and won the Comedy Vanguard AUDIENCE AWARD.
