Applebees 2000.

Eatin good in the Neighborhood. I have the fricking thing somewhere on mpeg but none of the Youtube versions have our cut in it. Just everyone ELSE who filmed it with us.

I got paid 17k for it.

Twice.....the movie Major League (the beginning part during Spring training) and a B movie called "Disaster at Silo 7" (movie based real events). Both were filmed in or near Tucson.

I was in a WBRZ school weather station commercial. Pat drug the filming on as long as possible so we didn't have to go back to class

This was filmed just shortly after I got there so I wasn't "in the know" yet

A few local short films that nobody would know. Had to drop out of a couple because of an injury(one for acting one as a production assistant).

One film I was cast in got cancelled due to funding.

One of the films that I had to drop out of had Linden Ashby in it(Johnny Cage from the first Mortal Kombat film). I think it was called Hunger? I can't remember anymore.

Yep. Worst movie ever made about/in NOLA; The Big Easy. Our band filmed a parade scene where a stunt driver gets thrown into the band. It was freezing cold but was supposed to take place in the spring. We weren't in our uniforms and they asked most of us to take off heavy coats. Probably the coldest "parade" I ever marched in. It took us a whole week to film the scene and I believe it ended up being about 20 seconds on screen. I remember seeing Ellen Barkin up close. Make up really does wonders.

I was in a National Geographic documentary that chronicled the secret service detail that protected President George W. Bush during his Baton Rouge trip to deliver the commencement speech at LSU. The prep and logistics are incredible. Anybody who fricks with the Secret Service in today’s world simply wants to die and die immediately. It was impressive to witness.

SEC network shot a promo at the barber shop in Athens when my son and I were getting our haircut. He was 3 at the time and had on a Georgia shirt so they definitely wanted him in the promo. I had to sign a bunch of paperwork but never saw if it actually aired or not.
