More recently, he starred in &#8220;The Haves and the Have Nots&#8221; on OWN. He has done many other shows and movies over the years.\u00a0 This movie is an indy film about a teen girl, Alex (Ema Horvath), who has trouble connecting with her mom, Judith (Alyssa Milano) and step-dad, Carey (John Ales), and she wants to meet her bio dad, Karl (Devon Sawa).\u00a0 It&#8217;s an interesting movie because it takes a dark turn towards the end. There are many twists and turns.\u00a0 The writing is really good, and the characters are rich and complex. Ben Epstein wrote and directed it.\u00a0 Even though Peter has a relatively small part as the town sheriff, his character is also complex. As I told him in our interview, it should have been a TV series because of the writing and the interesting characters. I want to see what else happens with these people. I hope you enjoy the movie, coming to select theaters and VOD February 24!<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Interview with Peter Parros of the film &quot;Who Are You People.&quot;\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0qSPRnnjgug?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>MORE INFO:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_PZE4ZIiRPc\">Trailer<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/whoareyoukeyart-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-39010 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/whoareyoukeyart-small.png\" alt=\"thumbnail for key art or poster for &quot;Who Are You People&quot;?\" width=\"202\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><em><b>\u201cWho Are You People\u201d<\/b><\/em><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>stars<\/strong><strong>\u00a0Ema Horvath\u00a0<\/strong>(\u201cThe Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,\u201d What Lies Below\u201d),\u00a0\u00a0<strong>Devon Sawa\u00a0<\/strong>(\u201cGasoline Alley,\u201d\u00a0\u201cFinal Destination\u201d),<strong>\u00a0\u00a0Yeardley Smith\u00a0<\/strong>(\u201cThe Simpsons,\u201d \u201cMaximum Overdrive\u201d),\u00a0<strong>Peter Parros\u00a0<\/strong>(\u201cReal Genius,\u201d Knight Rider\u201d),<strong>\u00a0Siddharth Dhananjay\u00a0<\/strong>(\u201cBloodshot,\u201d \u201cUndone\u201d),<strong>\u00a0Reid Miller<\/strong>\u00a0(\u201cJoe Bell,\u201d \u201cYou\u201d),<strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>with\u00a0<strong>John Ales\u00a0<\/strong>(\u201cEuphoria,\u201d True Story\u201d),<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>Alyssa Milano\u00a0<\/strong>(\u201cBrazen,\u201d \u201cCharmed\u201d).\u00a0<em><b>\u201cWho Are You People\u201d\u00a0<\/b><\/em><strong>\u00a0premiered at the\u00a0Mammoth Film Festival<\/strong><strong>\u00a0where\u00a0Horvath<\/strong><strong>\u00a0won Best Actress.<\/strong><u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p>Unfolding through the eyes of our 16-year-old protagonist Alex\u2019s (<strong>Ema Horvath<\/strong>) eyes, her limited knowledge and perspective gradually opening-up as she learns more of the circumstances that surround her.
