Boston Legal

I was booked for another courtroom show, but much much cooler this time around. I was booked on the Emmy winning show 'Boston Legal' and was cast as a 'courtroom spectator' but the cool thing is, I was sitting directly behind the man himself...Captain James T. Kirk, although I think his name is 'Denny something' in this show. It was cool to be in a scene with him, John Laroquette, and one other actor who I have seen countless times, but cant place his name...real character actor. Anyway, he's on the witness stand so you'll see who I am talking about. Pay close attention when Shatner fires a gun in the courtroom, shouldn't be hard to see me ducking in the background. The episode I am in is called "Kill, Baby, Kill" and I believe it airs Nov. 17th.

This was a 2 day call, so I was recalled on Monday. Recalls in TV Land are good for non-union background, as there is a chance you can aqcuire a SAG voucher if you work a show if you're called back for a few days. I wasn't that fortunate this time...but I did get to meet some cool people and hear some very interesting stories. I befriended a guy who played a principal role in John from Cincinatti on HBO, I also ran into a Fox 9 news reporter from MN, who is now working as a SAG background actor and maaaaaan, was this guy a pompous ass. 90210 was filming a few stages down...I tried to catch a glimpse of the actresses, so I could offer them some food or something, but only managed to see a West Beverly High school bus parked out front. On the last day, I walked back to wardrobe side by side with William Shatner, but didn't have the nerve to say anything to him. Dude!! He's a tv icon! What was I going to say?? Alas, I am sure there will be more opportunities down the road.
