Anthony M. Lanza was born in 1936 in Lake Charles, Louisiana. He made his own 16mm movies as a kid and studied film at the University of Southern California. After graduating from USC, Anthony secured his first motion picture gig as both co-editor and co-producer of Timothy Carey's sublimely screwy one-of-a-kind exploitation oddity The World's Greatest Sinner (1962). Lanza went on to edit such offbeat low-budget movies as Wild Guitar (1962), The Sadist (1963), What's Up Front! (1964), The Nasty Rabbit (1964), Deadwood '76 (1965), Dinah East (1970) and Doomsday Voyage (1972). He was an assistant director on both The Skydivers (1963) and Bigfoot (1970). Moreover, he handled post-production supervisor duties on such straight-to-video items as Body Count (1995) and The Dangerous (1995). Lanza has directed three theatrical features: the gritty biker romp The Glory Stompers (1967) ('Dennis Hopper (I)''s first-ever biker flick), the dire talk show spoof "The Irv Carlson Show" and the supremely schlocky sci-fi/horror camp hoot The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant (1971). In addition, he directed another three pictures that either weren't finished or failed to receive theatrical releases: "Desert Gems," "Freedom Riders" and "Squeeze Play."
Lanza died on October 16, 2010 at the Rosewood Nursing Home in Lake Charles, Louisiana.- Ezra Marder was born on 22 November 2004 in Brooklyn, New York City, New York, USA. He was an actor, known for Sound of Metal (2019). He died on 27 November 2021 in Lake Charles, Louisiana, USA.
- American professional wrestler, manager and commentator as "Sweet 'n' Sour" Larry Sweeney. Trained at various schools, including under "Playboy" Buddy Rose (Paul Perschmann) and Edward Wiskoski before arriving in CHIKARA in 2004. That year, he won the CHIKARA Young Lion's Cup II tournament and promptly became the company's top rudo (heel/villain) as the leader of Sweet 'n' Sour International, a stable which would encompass Claudio Castagnoli, Ultramantis Black, Hallowicked, Crossbones, Rorschach, the Sharecropper, Mano Metalico, Flex Fenom and Mobius. The group fell apart in 2005. Sweeney rebounded at "CHIKARA Planet of the Grapes" on June 19, 2005, where he introduced his own personal title, the ICW/ICWA Tex-Arkana Television Title, which he claimed to have won in a tournament in Shreveport, LA. He was part of the Kings of Wrestling (which encompassed Chris Hero, Claudio Castagnoli, Arik Cannon, Max Boyer, Team F.I.S.T. [Icarus, Gran Akuma and Chuck Taylor], Mitch Ryder and Shayne Hawke) until the group fell apart at the end of 2007. Sweeney continued teaming on and off with Hawke, Ryder and Robbie Ellis under the banner of the Fabulous Three, He also had a stable in Ring of Honor called Sweet 'n' Sour Inc., which included Hero, Sara Del Rey, Bobby Dempsey, Tank Toland, the American Wolves [Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards], Matt Sydal, Shane Hagadorn, Adam Pearce and Daniel Puder. He also managed the Kings of Wrestling (Hero, Castagnoli and Del Rey) in ROH. In 2010, he started making appearances in CHIKARA disguised as Vökoder, a time-traveling robot gimmick first used by Sami Callihan and then more significantly by Tim Donst. He made his last CHIKARA appearance at "CHIKARA The Dark Ciberknetico" as the eighth man for Team CHIKARA in the Torneo Cibernetico match. After the show, he posted a blog on CHIKARA's website announcing his plans to return to the company in 2011. Unfortunately, that never happened. He had one more match, a successful defense of his ICW/ICWA Tex-Arkana Television Title against Chris Hall at "AAW Windy City Classic" on November 27, 2010. On April 11, 2011, three days before Night 1 of "CHIKARA King of Trios 2011," he committed suicide by hanging himself from the turnbuckles of the ring at a wrestling school in Shreveport, LA at the age of 30. He had been suffering from Bipolar Disorder for years and it finally caught up with him. CHIKARA dedicated the show to Sweeney. Later that year, CHIKARA announced the 12 Large: Summit round-robin tournament to crown the inaugural CHIKARA Grand Champion, named for his "12 Large, brother!" catchphrase.
