According to NOLA.com, former PANTERA and current DOWN frontman Philip Anselmo stars in "Metal Grasshopper", a web series produced and directed by Chris Lee, the SUPAGROUP guitarist-and-singer-turned-webseries-producer, who is married to Sean Yseult, the former WHITE ZOMBIE bassist. The series, which was shot mostly at Anselmo's wooded compound north of Lake Pontchartrain, follows the misadventures of a budding hard rock star, played by comedian, radio host, author and musician Dave Hill, as he seeks guidance from a metal mentor, played by Philip. Lee told NOLA.com that when he first met Anselmo, "I had no idea what to expect. I found out he's the funniest guy I've ever met. Fall-down-laughing funny." "People have this impression of Phil from the music he plays and his interviews, that he's this super-intense dude," Hill said. "He's a hilarious guy, always joking around and laughing. He's just a funny guy in every way. He doesn't take himself too seriously." "With a comedian and a rock star, you'd think the rock star would be the straight guy," Lee said. "But through the sheer force of his personality, Phil took over. Phil is the funny guy, Dave is the straight guy." "I would like to think that I'm funny, too," Hill said. "Phil is a large presence. I'm more of a low-key approach. It's a good combination. We didn't realize how much he was going to bring." Lee is finalizing a deal with a web portal to air "Metal Grasshopper" this fall, possibly as 10 four-minute episodes.
