His latest release is Hurlyburly, based on the play
by David Rabe. It tells the story of a group of friends in Hollywood whose lives are
coming apart at the seams from drug abuse and a lack of real meaning in their lives. It

Kevin Spacey and Anna Paquin. Chazz plays Phil, an out of work actor with a violent
