Welcome to The Television Balcony, where I'll be bringing you the obscure or overlooked big-screen exploits of small-screen stars. We're opening the Balcony with a screening of What We Do Is Secret, an independent film starring Shane West (currently featured on The CW's Nikita) as the charismatic lead in the real-life story of a legendary punk rock band.
On paper, What We Do Is Secret (2007) is like my own special version of hell: a biopic about a genre of music I can't stand fronted by an actor whose work I hardly know. In reality, however, it's one of the best obscure films I've seen in a long while, centered around one of the best individual performances I've ever seen.
Given anyone that I've taken an interest in on the small screen, I'm more interested in the small movie they did years ago than the big blockbuster. This time, it's Shane West's fault.
