Stoklasa created his first video review for Star Trek Generations after watching the film again some time in 2008. He noted that he thought it was a "shitty movie" and "completely messed up the transition to the big screen from what was a really great TV show", inspiring him to share this view with others. Stoklasa found his own voice to be too boring for the review and adopted the persona of Harry S. Plinkett, a character he had previously used in several short films (originally played by Rich Evans and since further developed within the reviews.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Pedro Borges

- He has an interest in real life stories about ghosts and haunted houses.
- His work on The Phantom Menace Review (2009) motivated a Star Wars fan to write a 108 pages long critique towards the video.
- No matter how good a film is, it will always be hated because it didn't live up to incredibly high expectations.
- [on reactions of Star Wars prequels fans to his reviews] It's weird cause Star Wars to some people is like a religion so they respond to attacks on it as such. "It was the will of the Lucas that it be that way." " If you don't understand what's going on then you don't believe in Star Wars or you are not a true fan." I just happened to not like the 3 prequels.
