What would be a pretty cool together-family thing to do? Picnic? Feh. Together travel? Yerrg! Back wax? Hmmm…<\/p>\n

No! How about appearing with your dad as extras on your brother’s TV show “This Is Wonderland”? A while back Mike swung it so we could play DAs in a couple scenes. We got up early, made our way to the studios and started the day of hurry up and wait. We got onto the set at 9am (ish) and was told that we were only doing two scenes so nothing tough. Close to 11 hours later we were done. They must have filmed those two scenes from 7 different angles for 5 pages of dialogue. <\/p>\n

Regardless, the Assistant Director made sure that Dad and I were doing something<\/i> while the camera was rolling. We swapped files for the first scene and debated over a point in a folder in the second. Dad’s a natural! At 73, he took some acting lessons and its really pumped up his confidence.<\/p>\n

Here are some pics of that event:<\/p>\n

Mugging for the only camera they’d let us mug at.<\/p>\n

I didnt get her name, but she was electric in the scene. Her “son” played off her nicely. <\/p>\n

I am not sure when this will air, I will keep you posted.<\/p>\n

If you’ve read my past blog entries you know that I find extra work really boring yet incredibly mystical when the celebs act\/move\/sneeze on or around you. This day was no different. Thanks Mike for a fantastic day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
