    One of my friends/fraternity brothers played the young Nick Nolte in Prince of Tides. Yep, the one who gets buttsecksed by the escaped prisoners. Surprisingly he didn't catch much shit for it except from guys from his hometown. Obviously he said it was a difficult scene to film for a 12 year old. He said Nolte and Streisand were very cool on set.

    He also was in a made for TV movie with Ricky Schroeder, A Son't Promise. He caught more shit from that than the buttsecks.

    He made decent coin which he used to pay for college and grad school.

    My wife was cast in a non-speaking role in the movie 'The Replacements' as a cheerleader. She was the one holding the clipboard when the main cheerleader was dreaming about Kenau Reeves.

    I was in the wedding scene in Felicity. And on an episode of Scrabble with Chuck Woolery.

    We also shot some private porn.

    One of my best friends in elementary school was in Happy Gilmour. He played Happy as a kid, when he first went to live with his grandma. I know another girl who's a regular on a TV show here called Whistler. Same as OC, but in Whistler...lol

    I taught Charlton Heston how to ride a chariot for the filming of Ben Hur.

    I also taught Val Kilmer how to fly a plane for the filming of Top Gun.

    I also taught Patrick Swayze how to drive a 18-wheeler for Black Dog.

    I have many talents.

    My first cousin was the star of the movie Parents with Randy Quaid and Mary Beth Hurt. I don't think he's ever done any other acting whatsoever.

    A friend of mine was an extra in The Patriot. She got to dress in period clothes and all that. She's in a crowd scene, only visible for a split second and only if you know right where to look... but she thought it was cool as hell

    I've never had a role in anything, but I've been in the right places at the right time before.

    I was in the first episode of a show called George & Leo with Bob Newhart and Judd Hirsch (the guy from Taxi and Independance Day.) I rode my bike by their store as it came back from commercial.

    I was also in a made for tv movie directed by Kevin Bacon. (I've never seen it, I just had to check IMDB to find out it is called Losing Chase.) I was in the background during a car chase scene.

    I've been on the news before. Walking down a random street in a snowstorm, looking for a place to smoke a joint, there was a random camera crew that interviewed a couple of my friends about the storm and we all got on the news. It was incredibly random.

    I also knew some people that had minor parts in Jaws.

    I was in a play with the lady that plays the neighbor on the hit TV show, "Reba". Also friends with the woman who played Ross's ex-wife's girlfriend on Friends (and she's been in a bunch of movies and plays). Her name is Jessica Hecht, and is uber cool.
