The Ususal Suspects

The past couple days have been pretty productive. I worked on "How I Met Your Mother" on Friday, it was the usual day. Shot a couple scenes, had a few good laughs and we were out by lunch. Which was nice because I didn't sit in the 405 HWY traffic on a Friday afternoon. Some of you know what I am talking about. For those who don't; the 405 HWY on a Friday evening is like sitting in parking lot for a good 90 mins. When it's summer, and you're A/C dosn't work, then you are S.O.L.

Random fun fact; I got a nice little shout out by the actress Christine Lakin ( Al from the show "Step by Step") via Twitter last week. I had wrote her saying hello on the off chance that she might actually read it. I did that because back in August I worked on a Feature Film she had been apart of called "You Again" with Jamie Lee Curtis and Segourney Weaver. I was upgraded to be a "Husband" of one of the featured actress'. I had gotten that upgrade because I had worked on a few other movies with the "extras coordinator" and remembered me from that. Anyways, So I was paired up with the actress Anna White (small role in 'Valentines Day' as tap dancing weather girl and multiple Broadway hits.). I worked with her for 2 weeks so I got a cool friendship out of it. So we have that mutual friend, so I thought I'd mention it.

Today I worked on the set of "FLASH FORWARD." My favorite new show this season. If you haven't seen it, you are missing out, and should catch up this summer before season 2. It was a really quick day. One scene, and there wasn't any dialogue. It's nice to be done early in the morning, but it's the overtime hours where you make the good money, so that's the catch. My friend Chuck was there again. As always, was just as goofy as ever. Telling me about his days when he used to deliver copies of porno movies from the studio to the stores. What job that sounded like. People stared at us every once in awhile because Chuck has a voice that carries. So you can imagine when "particular" words where said people wanted to know what two dudes where talking about. That was after his story about being in jail in New Orleans for a DUI. I had a full morning.
