CURRENT CAST MEMBERS

DAVID TERRUSO

An aspiring novelist/screenwriter, Dave graduated from La Salle University with a BA in Creative Writing. His unique contributions to Pierre are his extensive writing background, his theater background, and his guitar-playing. His most famous AP character is Pierre himself. His skits are characterized by strong characters, emotional arcs, and a healthy dose of nonsense. He loves funny wordplay in skits, and the comic dynamic of characters with completely different agendas interacting. He is the oldest member of Pierre. "Animosity Pierre is a kaleidoscope of distinct characters, locations, and situations that is almost always funny and almost never predictable."

MATT LALLY

Matt graduated from La Salle University with a BA in Film. His unique contributions to Pierre are his filming and editing skills, his drawing ability, and his improv comedy background. His most famous AP character is John Grisham. His skits are defined by hilarious, straightforward premises with strong hooks and high energy. He loves random lines in skits that create a mental picture of absurdity and are never fully explained or referred to again. "Animosity Pierre is a place where brilliantly sick minds can express brilliant and sick ideas."

   

ANIMOSITY PIERRE

Animosity Pierre was born Pierre LaSnide in 1974 in a vacation village in Toulouse, France. Despite having two French-speaking parents, Pierre spoke English speckled with French words since childhood. He was given his first beret at the age of six, his first cigarette holder at nine. His trademark mustache came with puberty, and is not trimmed; he only has facial hair in those two places above his upper lip. Pierre moved to the United States in 1992 after watching an episode of Designing Women and falling hopelessly in love with Julia Sugarbaker (played by Dixie Carter). After a brief, unreciprocated courtship, the married Ms. Carter filed a restraining order against Pierre. Heartbroken, Pierre moved to Philadelphia and began a short-lived career as a short-order cook, which ended when five of his customers died of mercury poisoning in the same week. Pierre has remained unemployed since, and is rumored to live in secret catacombs below the City of Brotherly Love. Ironically, Pierre has no love for anyone, and considers no one his brother, not even his biological brother, Simpatico Luc. "The only thing that doesn't suck about this sketch group is its name."
