Sleeping Dogs Lie, staring veteran actor Ed Asner, MAYNARD JAMES KEENAN and Brad Wilk of Audioslave has won the Grand Jury Award (the festival’s top award) for best short film at the 2004 International Independent Film & Video Festival in New York. In the 25-minute film, a Twilight Zone-like murder mystery set in a small Texas town, Maynard plays Deputy Sheriff Lance, a character described by Asner as a Barney Fife type. Although screen writer Chumahan Bowen and director Stuart Lessner probably wanted some Barney Fife-like buffoonery from Maynard to contrast with Ed Asner’s Sheriff Delaney character, they may have gotten more than they bargained for with the notorious prankster whose initials are MJK – something that the camera lens captured that wasn’t in the script. It is known that on one occasion during the shooting of principle photography Maynard decided to stay in character and threatened to have the screenwriter’s car towed away, but, according to Maynard, neither writer nor director have an inkling as to his latest shenanigans – this being something along the lines of what he did during the recording of Tool’s Salival which turned out to be whisperings in a vocal microphone of something concerning a fellow band member that got recorded low in the audio on a particular track.
