Kerry Livgren Stars in Motion Picture

Kerry Livgren was in Texas recently filming the motion picture, “The Imposter”. According to Kerry’s official website, it stars Kevin Max as a fallen Pop Star, and Kerry as “Proff”, who tries to turn his life around. Says Kerry:

When I was asked to play a prominent role in the movie, my initial reaction was a quick no. Aside from the fact that I have no previous acting experience, I was very busy. But I read the script, then read it again, and finally decided it was worth the adventure.
