Guilted onto the silver screen by former students, Rick Ney makes his acting debut in 16 Heads and Counting, bringing to life the role of Tony the mob boss.

Rick holds a steady and respectable day job as an art teacher at Poudre High School in Fort Collins Colorado, teaching photography and videography. In a previous life he worked as a photojournalist for 10 years.

Rick is still concerned that former students would cast him as Antony—an over-confident, not-so-smart mobster. Is this a compliment or an inside joke? They call it “inspired casting.”
