I finished filming Django Unchained. I worked on that Quentin Tarintino film set from April to June. I was a featured “Mandingo Slave” named Eskimo Joe. Toward the end of the movie, I was sitting at a table with Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio and others. They were talking about my character Eskimo Joe. Unfortunately, they cut all of my scenes out. I did get a good joke from Quentin Tarintino. He walked up to me and said, “You are the most talked about invisible character in cinema history.” That certainly is inspiration for me going forward.




Thought I would post this here too, as an update on a former Tiger.

Awesome story. Shame he didn't make it on screen in the dinner scene though.


Best of luck to him in his acting career in the future

No prob. I thought it was cool.


I actually thought he may have been one of the fighters in the first scene with Leo when I heard about it.

Pittman looks like the guy that wins and Leo gives a beer to.

Thought it was him until I read that story.

I really enjoyed Pittman's 10 years as a Tiger. I'm glad to see he's doing well.

Obviously can't do a Cajun accent either. Went with the Aussie instead.

Some of you people get too bent out of shape on the appropriate posting board. This is an LSU board, and most wouldn't see the connection on the movie board b/c most don't go there.

Too bad he got edited out, but that's pretty cool to be in it.

I never will forget his quote in the advocate about the intercepted pass against UF in 2007. He said he just got up under the ball, like it was gold falling from the sky!
