Alex Querna hadn't been acting for very long when he saw the notice for "A Paradise of Bachelors" on BackStage.com. But when he went to audition for the lead role of Ricky, he brought two very important things: familiarity with the character and comfort in front of the camera. "Ricky is an Iraq War veteran who's coming back and trying to readjust in the States, and he's a pretty mixed-up guy," Querna explains. "I have a bit of experience with the military lifestyle, being the son of an Army colonel and growing up in the Army myself." This familiarity was immediately clear to the film's writer-director, James "Jimbo" Bretney. "He's got experience in some of the places I've been," Bretney says of the actor. "I was stationed in Fort Benning, and he lived in Fort Benning; I was in the Ranger Regiment, and his friends were in the Ranger Regiment.
