??Darby Crash??Actor Shane West portrays Crash, who died of a heroin overdose at age 22 in 1980. The other actors who play the Germs' members were taught to play instruments by Pat Smear, the band's original guitarist and music producer on the film, and their recordings were used in the movie.The surviving members of the band actually toured with West as lead singer in recent years.Official site:http://www.myspace.com/germsmovie
