Heath's birth name was Sasha da Binski but changed it once he got in show business so he wouldn't get confused with the famous
one-armed violinist. He caught his first break in Seattle when he was hired as a studio musician on Pearl Jam's first album.
After the final recording session, Heath got in the side-car of his agent Sol Rosenberg's motorcycle to celebrate with friends
but unfortunately crashed on the way there; Heath was not wearing a helmet. You see, he refused to ever wear a helmet because
as a young child, he was forced to put on protective head gear while riding the short bus to school so he wouldn't bash his head
on the seat in front of him. The real tragedy was that he couldn't place his tongue on the window of the short-bus anymore
because he just couldn't get close enough with the helmet on. After the motorcycle accident, Heath had amnesia and forgot how
to play the drums. He shifted gears and started acting and is best known for his role as "Tony Rocky Horror" in Quentin
Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. He landed a part as the Pizza Guy who delivered a calzone to Joe the Policeman on the What's
Going Down episode of "That's My Mama". Heath never lost his passion for the drums and after years of re-learning how to
play, is now back behind the drum kit to pay homage once more.
