Althought acting isn't Archie's main thing, the band was invited to take part in the Finnish film called "Teit meistä kauniin" (which means something like "You made us Beautiful"). The film is about the early days of one of the most famous finnish punk/rock band called Apulanta. Santa Cruz performed another classic finnish rock band called Tehosekoitin. Johnny was the singer and Archie played the role of Arska, the guitar player of Tehosekoitin and the head and founder of the record label Levy-Yhtiö. He's also the manager of Apulanta which was the first band to be signed under the record label.
