Jim Killeen was born in Detroit and attended Michigan's Wayne State University where he studied all aspects of theatre production with an emphasis on acting. Shortly thereafter he moved to Hollywood to pursue a professional acting career and winded up appearing in numerous film and television projects, including the TV series "Profiler" and the feature film "The Sex Monster" with Mariel Hemingway, Kevin Pollak and Stephen Baldwin.Between acting gigs, Jim ran the gamut of "day jobs" - everything from selling sandwiches in his acting classes to counting cards in blackjack casinos. Soon, however, Jim's entrepreneurial instincts kicked in, prompting him to start his now-successful company Casino Massage, a provider of chair-massage services at Los Angeles' Commerce Casino, as well as such additional industry events as the World Series of Poker and numerous celebrity and charity tournaments.With a number of elements in Jim's life converging seemingly serendipitously, Jim found himself yet drawn back into the entertainment industry - namely: filmmaking. That's where "Google Me" came into the picture. In his quest to contact those sharing possibly one of the most intimate aspects of one's existence, his moniker, Jim Killeen the filmmaker found, among others, Jim Killeen the Roman Catholic priest in Cobh, Ireland, Jim Killeen the retired cop in New York, Jim Killeen the CEO in Melbourne, Australia and Jim Killeen the sexual swinger in Denver. As a result of this genealogical journey, Killeen winds up forging life-long friendships with his previously unknown brethren, as well as documenting a provoking commentary on today's society and how technology has transformed all of our lives."Google Me" has been given the search engine's blessing and even features Google's VP of Engineering, Douglas Merrill, in an insightful and entertaining interview voicing his sentiments on the subject.True to form for the entrepreneur who has a history of taking his future into his own hands rather than relying on others, Killeen steered clear of contemporary release conventions and instead was one of the first to premiere his film "Google Me" on a free worldwide Internet stream on YouTube.com. Within a month's time, the feature-length film had racked up over 85,000 views. Having achieved the aims of the initial stage of his ground-breaking campaign - posting the entire film so as many people as possible could view it - Killeen has now removed "Google Me" from YouTube, just in time for Amazon.com to select it to be sold through the internet juggernaut.
