Basics:

Name: Anthony Hedding
Alias: N/A
Age: 25 years old
D.O.B: June 11, 1987

Personal Info:

Occupation: Blackjack Dealer
Hometown: Las Vegas, Nevada
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 150 lbs.

Gameplay:

Strategies: I tend to have a strong personality, which is enough to be the anti-hero. However, I am convinced that my actions may lead me to be into the villain spectrum, which I am perfectly fine with. I won't back down or throw pity-parties for myself or anyone else. The way I see it is survival of the fittest.

Strengths/Weaknesses:

For my obvious strengths-

I am physically active.
I'm excellent with mathematical probability (what do you except from a blackjack dealer?).
I have an astute observation, which I will use to my advantage.
Despite how much I like working alone, I do talk from time to time. Mostly to tell people what they want to hear.
I fight until I have nothing left. You won't see me kissing ass to whoever is in power that week.

My minor setbacks are-

I work alone. I'm a lone wolf and don't expect myself to depend on anyone in an alliance.
That being said, I have trust issues that can't ever be revived...
I have a huge ego, which can sometimes, bite me in the back.
I can't survive the entire season without an occasional drag on my cigarette.
I have somewhat of a short temper. Just don't piss me off and we'll be alright.

General Questions:

- How would you describe yourself, given three adjectives? Aloof, catalytic and wily.

- Do you have any favorite (hobbies/activities, TV shows, colors, actors/actresses, movies, books, etc)?

Besides being in the casino business, I enjoy being a persistent loan-shark to pay off my debts.
I dislike TV, but strangely find myself attracted to Big Brother with Dr. Will being my favorite player and one I can relate to.
I compliment my quick wit while indulging into cynical books such as 'No Longer Human' by Osamu Dazai and 'Catcher in the Rye' by J.D. Salinger.
I like retro movies with Italians. 'Rocky' and 'The Goodfellas' are high on my list.
I have an undying crush on Angelina Jolie. If I can find a girl like her that rolls my way, my life would be complete.
Blue. My favorite color is most definitely blue.

- What is your biggest accomplishment? Making it as a blackjack dealer when I had nowhere to go. That's a start. Going into the Big Brother House will give me an even bigger start.

- Your life motto. Do you live by any? "It's so easy to manipulate an audience, but it's nearly always clear that you are being manipulated. I think even people that are not critically attuned are aware of cynical manipulation in film." - John Boorman

- What would you do if you win Big Brother? Use the money to pay off my debts, if you're too blind to realize that now.

Biography:

I was born as an only child to an abusive family. By the age of three, social workers came to my house to put me into an orphanage. I was visibly the runt of the litter in that desolate place. Years elapsed as I eventually fitted in with the hooligans in the orphanage.
When I was fourteen, I escaped from the orphanage with my new-found allies, we did everything: ranging from drinking illegally to vandalizing property. They practically used me by the time they abandoned me when I got in trouble with the law, but I worked my charms to get out of it.
After the fiasco, I went into a casino in search of a job. The owners knew about my situation and they were friendly with me, despite me being underaged. I started out as a busboy, until I noticed two men playing blackjack on my break.
When I turned twenty-one, I worked my way up to become a blackjack dealer. I was hooked on that card game. One day, one of the greatest blackjack players came into the casino. Having an ego like I did, I promptly challenged him. He bet all he had, which was worth obvious billions and I was so convinced I won judging by my mathematical calculations.
I could never live it down. I reduced my debt to $3 million over the next four years by being a loan shark, but I still need money to pay off my debt and revive myself. Essentially, I signed up for Big Brother because I knew I'd be a good choice to get picked and the blatant fact the money is something I need.
