Well I guess
now would be the time to tell you that the big scene
I was in actually included 3 speaking lines with
Tony. Oh and at the end he shoots me in the face. Uhm,
and I tell the big secret of the final 5 episodes as I
fade away...
...but they cut
it. LOL. Yes this would be the time to tell you that
but alas it isn't true. The scene I was in was
the 2nd to last scene where Tony is told of the death
of Heche's wife...but they skipped right to him going
to Heche's house. Seems they cut it to add a bit more
mystery to the death. So me putting my jacket on as
I exit the Bada Bing in front of Mr. Soprano will
never see the light of day. There is some good news
however, in the first bar scene I was in I was
somehow the only extra out of 70 even
recognizeable...
How
lucky is
that?
If
you check out any Bada Bing scenes in The
Sopranos almost everyone is a sihlouette.
Depending on how good your monitor is you
can not only make out my face, but my
black hat, black shirt, and even my black
leather jacket. The black leather jacket
that held the infamous camera from one of
my all-time favorite entries ever
-
Entry
#581 - Tony
Sopranoland
-
if you haven't checked out that entry or
video - do so immediately.
Craziness.
But hey - I'm
in a Sopranos episode. As I stare at that
picture I get kind of giggly. Episode 81 of 86.
There I am. Forever, you can't take it away from me.
Realize there is no other show in the history of
television that I can imagine being like this about
being background. Maybe a guy at the bar at
Cheers. That would've been a helluva feat considering
I was 17 when it went off the air. Heh. Anyway -
there ya go, enjoy the last 5 episodes, I'm certainly
dying to see how they wrap this up.
Speaking of
wrapping up, we wrapped up the final day of shooting
with Crooked X here in LA today. Interviewed Doc
Mcghee and Spencer Proffer down at their offices on
Sunset, got another few hours of footage for Jim to
look through (heh) and the highlight of the day by far
was Forrest and Jessie doing their first acoustic set
and literally blowing everyone in the room
away.
It was
their first time meeting their new
mangament and they thought they'd run
through a few songs with 'em and
I gotta say there's no better way to
do it than stripping down to a naked
set...and still managing to rock. It
really is phenomenal how good these kids
are and as I mentioned in the previous
entry - you just have to pray the music
industry is ready for their music because
if they are...these kids will be
superstars.
We ended
the day doin' some shots on Sunset with the
boys checkin' out the sights. The package is
going to air May 28th to kick off the 3rd
Living Room Live: Battle of the
Bands.
Which means I've
got a few more weeks until the crazy 13 week schedule
starts. Enough time to organize some stuff on the
homefront, and try to forget about all of the
ridiculously stressful things that need to transpire
this month. From contracts to funding meetings to plan
b's, c's and d's... this is the game I wanted so
desperately to be a part of wasn't it?
