Ah, Mark's post reminded me of another thing!
My dad! My dad's retired, and he and his buddy Murray have become EXTRAS on productions in and around NYC. He's been recognized on the street even a few times (he did a commercial wherein he played a person in a wheelchair, and he was stopped on the street by people who were in shock that he was "walking now"!).
Anyway, my dad and Murray got on the new A&E show "100 Centre Street," where they got to play -- to their delight, a couple of black-clad orthodox Jewish rabbis (my dad has always had fantasies of being a rabbi!). So my dad is wearing this beard and hat make up, and the director of that episode SIDNEY LUMET comes up to him and angrily demands that my dad follow him down this hall -- my dad is telling me this and doesn't even know who SIDNEY LUMET is! -- and Sidney takes my dad to the makeup trailor and stands there while the makeup people fix my dad's makeup before walking him back to the set.
My dad, hanging with Sidney Lumet while dressed as a rabbi.
Also, my dad is in the motorcycle chase scene, right next to Mel Gibson, when the guys drop out of the helicopter on Columbus Circle in CONSPIRACY THEORY. Filmed on location at 3am -- and my dad's bedtime is like 8.
So many fun stories!
