I promise that when I'm famous, I'll still talk to you all.....

Well, at least I'll still blog.

I may very well be too important to actually talk to any of you, but at least you'll all be able to say 'you know, I knew him when he was nothing.'

You may wonder at the source of this soon to be new-found fame, and you are right to. I shall end the suspense, however with the following anecdote:

Some years ago, mostly at my sister's behest, I registered with Nevada Casting. As you might imagine, they get contacted and contracted to solicit extras as well as persons with speaking parts in movies filmed in and around Northern Nevada.

Yesterday, I received the following message from the abovementioned place of business:

Please read the attached document.



The dates that extras are needed are set for March 18, 19, 20, 2007, these dates could change. Extras are being paid for this film, $60.00 for 8 hours. Start looking for 70’s clothes. . .

Below is said attachment...

Toni Suttie announced that Taylor Hackford, Marty Katz, and Nancy Klopper have officially asked Integrity Casting to work alongside them on their new Capital Films project “Love Ranch”. Due to be released in 2009, “Love Ranch” is a drama centered on a married couple who opened the first legal brothel in Nevada.


Based on real events, “Love Ranch” stars Joe Pesci (“Lethal Weapon”, “Casino”, “Goodfellas”) and academy award winner Helen Mirren (“Teaching Mrs.Tingle”, “Calendar Girls”, “The Queen”). Taylor Hackford, known for producing and directing the blockbuster hit “Ray” will direct “Love Ranch” and also act as producer alongside Marty Katz (“Reindeer Games”).


Integrity Casting has asked Nevada Casting to assist in finding talent for numerous roles, including supporting and speaking roles as well as background players. Integrity and Nevada Casting have also been asked to provide vehicles from 1955 to 1976 for this period piece. Filming in Northern Nevada is scheduled to occur in March, 2008.


If you are interested in working as an Extra on this film you will need to come in to our office located at 100 Washington St. #100 and update your paperwork and bring in 3 pictures of yourself, preferably ¾ shots.

You all know how to do that, right?

How you may ask, is this going to make me famous? Well, let me clear up the confusion. Some of you new readers may not know that I am, in fact, a long-haired hippie type. My hair is currently almost down to my ass. Now, couple that with a headbandanna, a pair of John Lennon spectacles, some bell bottom jeans, and a vest/tye dye shirt combo, and I'm the quintessential '70's dude.

See what's going to happen is this: I'm going to go up there, of course. I'm going to be cast as an extra. I'll end up meeting Joe Pesci, and we'll get along famously. He'll invite me to the premiere, where I'll hobnob with all the bigwigs, they'll see me in the movie, and my star will be launched.

I'm sorry to leave you all behind, but there's only so much fame to go around.

Carne del diablo,

T.
