About Anthony

This is the spot for frequently asked questions about Anthony Mendonca, that is a thing now, thank you internet.

If Money Wasn’t an Issue and Failure Wasn’t An Option, What Would You Be Doing?

I’m always creating something, as long as I’m doing that I will be happy. The more money, and the more time I have to do that, even better! At the moment I dream of a day I can spend all my time working on scripts, planning a production, working with great actors, then cutting it all together. But I also love software, and games, and the stories they can tell.

My grandpa is probably the best story teller I’ve ever known. I’ve learned to enjoy story telling and the value of a great story. At the end of the day, maybe that’s all I want to do, tell bigger, better, and more entertaining stories.

Where did “evilantnie” Come From?

I grew up in the middle of nowhere, California, although Recently it’s actually become more of a somewhere, Calfornia. There is a Costco, and a Red Robin, and a Target, and a lot more Starbucks. None of that existed when I lived there.

Needless to say, there was not much for a teenager to do so, me and my friends spent a lot of time at each other’s houses watching movies we were too young to be watching. A couple of us got really into mafia films like The Godfather, Casino, and Goodfellas. We’d watch these movies over and over, memorizing the lines and tossing them back and forth to each other. This happened enough times we each adopted an alter ego we’d play when around each other, Ben was “Benny”, Ezaria was “Rizzo”, and I was “Antnie”.

Around that same time I was really starting to get into local BBS’s and the dawn of the internet. I created my first online persona and 13 year old me thought it was hilarious to play my mafia alter ego online. It’s stuck with me ever since.
