Tito Ortiz, “Bad Boy of Huntington Beach” and MMA Hall of Famer, Just Says No to Bullying in the ‘The Orange County Register’

Using mixed martial artists seemed a good way to bring home a message to Huntington Beach High students about the dangers and impacts of bullying.

They’re famous. They’re big. They command attention. But most importantly, they’ve been bullied themselves.

Fighters Tito Ortiz and Rob McCullough, both from Huntington Beach, talked to students Tuesday at the high school as part of Santa Ana-based LA Boxing’s anti-bullying campaign.

TVMEGASITE.COM Interviews Parker Stevenson

How and when did you get started as a photographer?

P. Stevenson: I started as young as I could hold up a Kodak Brownie, probably 5 or 6 years old, and ran around shooting everything.  No one was safe, not even my sister, the pets, or the neighbors. By age 14, I was shooting weddings– although, in hindsight, it probably wasn’t such a good idea entrusting someone that young to document those kind of important life moments.

Was there any link between that and your acting career?

P. Stevenson: I grew up in the suburbs outside of New York City and began acting  because it was a way to find some independence, taking all the trips into the city for auditions. What I discovered in the process was the advertising world, not only all the billboard images that flashed by on the train station platforms as I went by, but also the ad agencies themselves. It was a chance to peek into the real life world of “Mad Men”, and I was fascinated by how images could move us, whether to yearn for a product or to see something we’d never seen before.
