Bio

Bullet Valmont appeared in music videos for Janet Jackson, Mick Jagger, Oingo Boingo, Mariah Carey, Skid Row, Madonna, George Michael, Dwight Yoakam, Nine Inch Nails and others before his first acting role. On television he worked with several name actors including Jaclyn Smith and Ed O'Neil, usually portraying delinquent youths. His first major film role was as Bob, a hyper-violent teenager, in Wilding: The Children of Violence, which also starred Wings Hauser. While filming Wilding he rewrote one of his scenes, adding a full minute of additional dialogue which director Eric Louzil liked enough to keep in the finished cut of the film.

    His first starring role was as the stoner gas station attendant, Surf Joe, in the short film Big X directed by Nigel Dick for the anthology series Inside/Out.

    He appeared with Arnold Schwarzenegger in a PSA for the President's Council on Physical Fitness.  

    His best known roles are the baby-throwing gang member in Class of Nuke'Em High 2: Subhumanoid Meltdown, and the Alley Punk who receives a balloon giraffe from Jim Carrey in The Mask.   

    Bullet also had roles in the short films Code-9, directed by Steve Wang, The Kids From Nowhere, directed by Ben M. Richards, and Birch Street Gym, directed by Stephen Kessler, which was nominated for Best Short Film at the 1992 Academy Awards. He portrayed himself in the 'gothumentary' Sex, Death and Eyeliner.

    He has worked in creature effects on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The X-Files, and as a weapons fabricator on The Scorpion King, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Matrix Reloaded, and Thor.

     A self-taught sword fight choreographer, Bullet formed a dueling act with fellow The Mask actor B.J. Barie, and Fragile Storm producer Deborah Rankin. They performed at the sold-out Orpheum Theatre for the premiere of a newly restored print of Douglas Fairbanks' silent classic The Black Pirate, accompanied by the 19 piece Robert Israel Orchestra. 

    He is the author of the blog Pirate Envy and the popular advice column Wench Whisperer. For several years he wrote The Newgate Gentlemen's Club, graphic accounts of 17th century crimes and punishments, for Mutiny Magazine. From 1998 to 2009 he was the impresario, playwright and director of Sea of Darkness, a live-action pirate-themed show performed at sea aboard an historic tall-ship. Since 2016 he has directed and starred in the combat/comedy troupe Imagine Pirates.

    Bullet portrayed the pirate, Scar, in the sci-fi/action film Timecrafters: The Treasure of Pirates Cove which stars Malcolm McDowell, Denise Richards and Eric Balfour. Several of his Imagine Pirates troupe also appeared in the film.

    Works-in-progress are an east coast pirate performance troupe, two novels, and a theatrical version of Wench Whisperer.
