This may not crowd Iraq off the front pages, but I thought a few people might get a charge out of this. I came out of my office at 125th and Lenox in Manhattan today, thinking about lunch. I saw a movie shoot going on and went to check it out. BTW, I was wearing my dearly beloved slightly beat up Montecristi Panama. Suddenly this guy comes up to me and says he desperately needs extras RIGHT NOW, and do I want to? In less than New York nanosecond I said yes. The film is "On the Hook". It stars Frank Langella, Elliott Gould, Laura Harring (va va voom!) and Corey Johnson. So (after hanging around for a couple of hours) I sat in front of Langella, Johnson and (va va voom) Harring at a table in the back room of the Lenox Lounge, a classic (and VERY vintage) Harlem jazz joint as they did their scene. Later some of the real SAG extras came in, one having just come from being one of 400 extras for the new Indiana Jones flick.
Anyway, my face may or may not be in the front of the frame for this scene, if it doesn't wind up on the cutting room floor. But I'm one happy boy tonight. And the best part is I got a SAG waver voucher, which means that if I do this 2 more times I automatically get a SAG extra card. Oh, and of course the hat IS in the scene. Never did get lunch.
