Bishop Allen’s Justin Rice
Justin Rice from Brooklyn's, Bishop Allen, has been piling on film roles for awhile but in the last year has begun to make an actual career out of it. Rice most recognizably appeared with his bandmates in 2008's "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist." They performed as themselves after Michael Cera's band plays at the club. Since then, in 2009 alone, Rice has acquired three indie credits, the forthcoming "The Mountain, the River and the Road," IFC film's "Alexander the Last," and the recent, "Harmony and Me."

His music is generally used if not prominently featured in these films and such is the case in the slacker comedy “Harmony and Me” which also stars Bishop Allen bandmate, Keith Poulson. Don’t be surprised if Rice keeps landing roles, he seems inextricably linked now with a group of indie filmmakers. Though “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist,” was not that well received, it’s a feather in his hat. It’s probably Michel Cera who takes the hit on that one, if not director Peter Sollett who has since made the transition to TV. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some quality TV, but you know what I mean.
Special screenings of “Harmony and Me” are showing at MOMA through the 24th in NY.
