The film and in particular Dillon's performance caught the eye of legendary filmmaker Quentin Tarantino and his company, Rolling Thunder Pictures who distributed the movie and brought international attention to the revered indie classic and its lead actor.

Signed to Universal Music in the early nineties, the band released six albums. After the Headstones he formed the Hugh Dillon Redemption Choir and released The High Cost Of Low Living. Their second album, Works Well With Others, is due out this spring. Transcending the rock world, Dillon has consistently scored and written compositions for numerous movie and television productions including Durham County.

Dillon was recently nominated for a 2007 Genie Award for 'Best Supporting Actor' for his role in The Trailer Park Boys: The Movie. He received critical acclaim when he starred opposite Vera Farmiga (The Departed) in the Sundance Film Festival award winning movie, Down To The Bone.

Dillon's repertoire of notable roles in feature films includes Lone Hero also starring Robert Forster and Sean Patrick Flannery, 2005's Assault on Precinct 13 with Ethan Hawke and the cult classic Ginger Snaps: The Prequel as well as television guest-starring appearances on The 11th Hour, Regeneris, Degrassi: The Next Generation to name a few.
