SKSM: Could you start with telling me a little bit about yourself? Who are you and what do you do?

Landon Sweeney: I’m Landon, 38 named after the actor Michael Landon, my day today job is that of a town ranger assisting the police. I also act as much as possible in the free time I have, along with the film work I appear in many plays and musicals in the local area.

SKSM: When did you know you wanted to become an actor?

Landon Sweeney: I took part in a school musical many years ago (half a sixpence) and had the bug ever since, acting is so much fun and each new part is something different.

SKSM: How did you become involved in Morning Deliveries Dollar Baby film?

Landon Sweeney: I saw a message online asking for actors, as a big Stephen King fan I knew I had to be in it so offered my services, had no idea I’d end up on the poster and the lead part that was a happy bonus.

SKSM: What do you think it is about the story that attracts people so much?

Landon Sweeney: Everyone of a certain age remembers the local milkman, we all had one back in the day. To think that this innocent person maybe killing locals off has a very dark twist and is a fabulous story.
