ORIGINAL PRODUCTIONS AND ACTOR, BODYGUARD, EX-HELLS ANGEL CHUCK ZITO, UNITE TO DEVELOP A SERIES TITLED "CHUCK ZITO’S RODS, BODS & BIKES"

Los Angeles, California – February xx, 2006 – He’s been the President of the New York chapter of the Hells Angels Nomads, a Golden Gloves boxer, a stuntman for some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, a regular on HBO’s "Oz," Has made numerous guest appearances on the Howard Stern show, was involved with the World Championship Wrestling, a martial arts expert and all-around tough guy. And now Chuck Zito is creating a television show, in collaboration with Original Productions CEO and Executive Producer, Thom Beers. The project, tentatively titled "Rods, Bods & Bikes," draws on Zito’s life growing up in the rough-and-tumble streets of the Bronx and Brooklyn, and Beers’ experiences creating and producing such hit shows as "Monster Garage," "Monster House" and "The Deadliest Catch." Plans are for each episode to originate from a recreation of Zito’s New Rochelle garage, where he might customize motorcycles and cars, train for the Ultimate Fighting Championship, spar with professional boxers and swap snacks, stories and memories with his show business compatriots – such as Angelina Jolie, Howard Stern, Charlie Sheen, Cher, Pamela Anderson,Sylvester Stallone, Tony Danza, Liza Minnelli or Zito’s longtime friend and tattooing disciple, Sean Penn, who wrote the introduction to Chuck’s autobiography "Street Justice"….and quotes Penn as saying,.."So it is now more than ever that we need our original thinkers, our poets, upstarts, and indeed, depending upon your own definition, our outlaws. And it is in that spirit that we should celebrate this very American life that Chuck Zito shares with us on these pages. Chuck is my friend. He has been for over twenty years. I’ve never known him to be anything less than completely honest, direct, and bold"…

Pamela Anderson, says, "Somehow, being a very dear, close friend of Chuck Zito’s has made the world a safer place. He is the real deal. America’s bad boy."

Academy award winning director John Milius, says, "Chuck Zito is an American institution. We love our outlaws, yet he is also such a fine example of the old values that we used to live by: Honesty, courage, and personal integrity. I told him he should have his own talk show or run for congress."

Charlie Sheen heard about Chuck’s upcoming show and says…" I can’t wait to be a guest on the show. It will be the ultimate show. As real and as truthful as the man himself."

Mike Piazza, says Chuck’s show will be the World Series of shows, without a doubt a grand slam, Can’t wait to talk about Rods, Bods and Bikes, especially the Bods!

Former longest reigning World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion, Bruno Sammartino says, Chuck is old school like myself, I suggest everyone watch it …or else!

There will be plenty to talk about, since Zito spent 25 years in the Hells Angels, Motorcycle Club, and then segued into a singular career in entertainment, providing security for, teaching martial arts to and putting tattoos on some of Hollywood’s biggest stars. He’s also about to launch his new, unique martial arts training video, about dieting, weightlifting and mixed martial arts, called ". Chuck Zito’s Street Survival System."

Beers said that when he and other Original executives met Zito, they knew immediately that he deserved to be on television. ."He’s got this rare combination of gumption and morality that I haven’t seen before." Beers said…..I don’t think I’ve met anybody who’s so strong, yet so gentle, so angry, yet so calm. I know he’s a character the audience will just fall in love with. Like "Monster Garage," Chuck’s show is for individualists and free-spirits, and those who wish they were."" I’ve taken the best of all the talk shows, sports shows, and competition shows, without copying any of them " Zito says. "I might be training in the boxing ring, with Arturo Gatti, or going one on one with my Hollywood friends in the octagon, or working on motorcycles with Mickey Rourke and Michael Madsen, or changing a car motor with Dale Earnhardt Jr." It’ll be fun, different and completely original.""Rods, Bods & Bikes" marks the latest chapter in Zito’s singular career. The self-styled "Italian Bad Boy" was raised on New York’s meanest streets and grew up to be one of the dying breed of uncompromising men for whom justice and honor are paramount. Whether running the Hells Angels chapter in New York, or providing security for some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, Zito lives by rules of personal integrity, coupled with a take-no-prisoners view toward the rest of the world.
