Metcalf altered his destiny three years ago when he and his wife, Libby Wick, and their son, Julius, moved to Milwaukee. Metcalf originally wanted to move to Montana where they already owned a house, but Wick wanted to raise her son in her home town. "When we left L.A. we wanted to find a place that was more like America and less like L.A.," says Metcalf. "I wanted to move to Montana and my wife wanted to move here, so we compromised and moved where she wanted to go."

In 2000, the couple bought a restaurant/pub in Mequon and renamed it Libby Montana's. Metcalf juggles his time between running the restaurant and acting, both in L.A. and locally. He will appear this fall in Bialystock & Bloom's "Never The Sinner" and First Stage Children Theatre's "Holes." He also plans to work on two independent films. "Wishtaker" was shot for seven days during the middle of August, and a rough cut will be sent at the end of September to Sundance for possible inclusion in the festival this winter. A premier screening will be held at the Times Cinema in October. Stay tuned to OMC for more information.
