My scene in 21

Since some friends and family have asked, I am in this scene, about 6-7 minutes into the movie, right after a scene in which the main character is talking about a scholarship to a professor in an office with a fireplace.

I start off under the awning and walk around the corner. I look goofy and my fat ass looks gigantic on the big screen as I walk out of frame.

I'm not a doctor, but I played one in a movie

I'm not a doctor, but I played one in a movie.

I was originally supposed to be a patient but wardrobe didn't have any hospital gowns (for a scene at a hospital!?!?!?) so they gave me blue scrubs and white clogs. Props gave me a hospital ID badge of a Cardiologist to complete the outfit. Instant doctor.

I did a quick scene with TV's Sarah Connor. I was so excited because I really liked that show and I really really like her. But there were a few of us walking back and forth so I don't think I was in a good position to be in the frame with her. And all I could think about during the scene was how could I get alone with her and tell her how much I like her.

But I did have a really good scene with the male lead, Josh Lucas. It was just the two of us alone in a small hallway. Three takes. I liked the last one and they said it was perfect. I hope it gets used.

Also on this shoot was "Omar" from The Wire, but I had nothing to do with him.

When I got there in the morning I found out that they planned for me to use my car in one scene. I rode with a Production Assistant to a parking garage where the scene was taking place. I had to take a ticket from the machine to get into the garage just as any regular customer would. The PA didn't know how the parking would be paid for but he said not to worry. A few hours later I was told by someone else that I should use my acting skills on the parking attendant and drop some names and say that I am working in the movie. I thought he was kidding but he wasn't. I said ''so in other words, you want me to scam my way out of paying?''. He said that I shouldn't think of it like that and I should think of it like acting. Um, ok. Either way it seemed really sketchy to me. But as it turned out we ran very late that night and the parking garage technically closed for the night so the gate was in the upright position for me to get out.

I also just did a movie at the Burlington Mall starring Kevin James. There were about 300 people playing shoppers that day. I didn't do anything noteworthy or remarkable.

Joe Perry & sons at the Hard Rock Cafe in Boston 2/29/08

To sum it up quite simply: one of the fucking best concerts I have ever been to!

After seeing Joe and Aerosmith close to 90 times at this point, it is easy for me to be apathetic about them and be less than enthusiastic about some of their gigs. But this is not one of those times at all.

Aside from three songs by his sons' band, TAB the Band, the rest of the set was pretty much all Joe Perry and Aerosmith songs (as you can see, I was a little excited about some of the songs while I was taking notes, lol):

Roadrunner!!
Walkin' The Dog!!
Hold On Me
South Station Blues!!!!
Chip Away The Stone!!!!!!!
Stop Messin'
10 Years
The Continental (a TAB song)
Bright Light Fright!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Secretary Day (TAB...really good!)
Red House!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Talk Talkin'
CYT (TAB...also good!)
Combination!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let The Music Do The Talking (the old JPP version!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

encore:
Helter Skelter!!!!!
Shakin' My Cage


WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JOE FUCKING PERRY as a frontman the whole night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I was about five feet away from him the whole time. See, I'm smart (lol) so I know that when AD/DC music starts playing, Joe is coming out soon. So while everyone else was all lingering and mingling I knew when to pick a spot on the floor directly in front of the Clint Eastwood of Rock and Roll (I saw that line used to describe Joe in a magazine about 20+ years ago and I liked it). Kill me now so I can die happy.

Before the show for quite some time I was standing right next to a couple of hot chicks who were with a kid who almost looked out of place there. I couldn't put my finger on it - maybe a little too young compared to everyone else? Dressed too well for a crowd like that? I don't know what it was, but he definitely stood out when I saw him. It turns out that kid was Tony Perry. I had no idea who he was until he got up on stage with a guitar. He is a really good player. Neither he or his brother in the band look at all like Joe - his brother sort of reminded me of Artie Lange a little. There was a roadie who looked more like Joe than either of the kids in the band (maybe the roadie is related? He really could be. I don't know).

One of the bartenders made KILLER Wabo-ritas...exactly the way they're made at the Cabo Wabo. So I hung out for another drink after the show and another roadie gave me the set list off one of the speakers. :)






I took a bunch of pics with my phone...I wish I brought a real camera. :(










Oh yeah, it was a WAAF radio event and I was wearing an Opie & Anthony ballcap. Ooops, LOL. Every time I saw a camera light go on, I just happened to get into the background of the shot :D and when I was walking out of the bathroom the WAAF morning guy walked right past me, saw the cap, and literally stopped in his tracks. It cracked me up.
