Joe Casino This Short Movie was Written and Directed by Jonathan Heap and Hillary Anne Ripps. It was Nominated for an Oscar as a Best Short Film, live action Movie. It is a Super Great Sci-Fi Flick that was Lensed in 1991. I am the Man Walking in the Park wearing a Brown Suit, with a Blonde Headed Lady. It was my very first Show and I sort of though maybe it just may be a good film. I never did actually think that it would be Nominated for an Oscar. I think i was very lucky to have been in a Show for the first time, that got Nominated for an Oscar. I feel kinda Proud of being in it, even if you can only catch a Glimpse of me now and then walking round and round the Park. I was not Credited in it but i still Managed to have it Recorded in the Internet Movie Data Base. My Screen and Stage Name is Joe Casino. After this Short Film, i went on to make several other Flicks and they may be viewed on IMDb.COM (Joe casino)

Richard McLaughlin This guy has shown up in so many things and perhaps best known from "That 70s Show", but if you ever saw 12:01 PM, you would have a new appreciation for his talent. This short is extremely well written about the frustrations of going through a time loop over and over for an endless eternity. In the process, he experiences so many things that we may take for granted. During one of his hours, he falls in love with a young lady in the park, then as his hours begins anew, she no longer knows him. During another hour, he helps needy person who others prefer to torment. Then during yet another, he sees a newspaper with an article that a scientist predicted this might happen. He calls him to discuss it, learns a little, then on the next loop he rushes to see him. When he finds that there is nothing he can do, he realizes there is no way out of his situation, so he wrestles a gun from a security guard and blows his own brains out only to find himself standing back on that same corner at the end of the hour as he has and always will. Kurtwood Smith delivers the pain and frustration like no one else could. This short made me a big fan of his. If you get a chance, watch this short! It's truly a 10.

Infofreak The little-seen '12.01' is a real gem, and displays the beauty of short films. Just the right length to explore the intriguing premise without over staying its welcome. I wish more feature length movies showed the subtlety and invention of this one!Kurtwood Smith (Verhoeven's classic 'Robocop', and Jennifer Lynch's absolute stinker 'Boxing Helena') has never been better as a meek office worker who finds that the world is caught in a time loop, and that he is the only person conscious of the fact. Smith is utterly believable as the bewildered and desperate man who frantically searches for some kind of explanation/solution for his extraordinary situation. A classic of its kind. Try and see it!

FilmBear-4 I originally saw this dramatic short as an interstitial subject on TMC in the early '90s and fell instantly in love with it.The plot involves a mild-mannered businessman named Myron Castleman, played with exquisite pathos by Kurtwood Smith (That 70s Show). Myron is the only one who is aware that time keeps on bouncing back to 12:01PM after only an hour passes. Desperate to find an end to this, he seeks out a scientist who has predicted this phenomenon. Trying time and time again to contact him, Myron's worst fear is confirmed. It will never stop.Kurtwood Smith's portrayal of the temporally doomed Myron Castleman is one of the best of his career. Smith is probably better known to cinephiles as the heartless criminal Clarence Boddicker from the movie Robocop.
