Attack of the Giant Leeches at The Complex Hollywood

Elena Dizon (Leechette Susan)

Elena Dizon began her film career in post production starting her own business as a freelance editor at age 15. Although she showed promise working behind the camera, she always had a sunken feeling that post was not her true calling. She decided to take a risk that would change her life for the better. She will say that her lifetime of struggle and hardship have benefitted her career in a positive way. As an actor, Elena continues to grow, believe in her strengths, and follow her heart, which has lead her to becoming an award-nominated actress best known for her work on USA Networks’ Shooter, Fresh Off The Boat on ABC, and Monster Therapy. She is also featured in Act Magazine as one of their top up-and-coming actors to look out for. 

Jared Muscarella (Bob, the Leechette’s Agent)

Jared became obsessed with puppets when he was just a little tyke watching Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers, and his love for them never faded. Years of theater and hours of watching the Muppets kept his drive of the theatrics thriving. He created his own puppets by hand in college for his graduate performance piece. After college, his obsession continue to grow, working beside his father on countless films by Clint Eastwood, where he learned how to construct sets and hone his carpentry skills. He now does one man puppet shows for schools throughout Southern California.

Jarod Milsap (Leechette Lola)

Jarod Millsap has been performing off and on since high school, when he isn’t giving tours of Los Angeles to visitors from all over the world.  This is not his first time playing a water-bound species. He was in the opening cast of Walt Disney’s Parade of Dreams at Disneyland, playing the evil eels, Flotsam and Jetsam, from The Little Mermaid, and he played the part for the full run of the show. He teaches tap at Tap-A-Holic Dance Classes, sings with local bands, Devin Tait & The Traitors and Boynanarama, and hosts karaoke parties.
