Ashamed to admit it, but I worked on the set of "The First Kid" 😱

Was in a few of the crowd shots too...
 
My step-dad used to live next door to the boyfriend of one of the twins in Snatch (Yeah, dad, we know!)


Confused

Agreed! Also, I must mention that, coincidentally, I just saw Tobey Migure. Damn he's short.
 
The Game - I was a medic in the final scene after he crashes through the ceiling. I went to the location right after work, in my real uniform, and they gave me the movie uniform and a room at the hotel. I changed into their uniform and left mine in the room, came back ~10 hours later to find my real uniform was taken by the wardrobe people and sent to the cleaners. (they thought it was theirs)

Cowboy Up - Worked the final scene, when they were doing the bullriding. I was on duty as a real medic, my partner got a pile of crud kicked onto his nice white uniform shirt by the bull, lmao. Never saw the final movie, don't know if they show us standing over there or not. (we were just behind the arena gate, at the MGM)

That stupid tarzan movie with brendon fraiser - When he is swinging from the Bay Bridge, that's me and my partner in the ambulance. (once again, working for real in case something went wrong)
 
I was in the Robert Redford movie The Candidate.
The scene where he's walking through a crowd of people shaking hands was filmed at the Alameda County fairgrounds.
My dad is holding me (I'm about 6 months old) and Robert Redford calls me a cute baby.

My 5 year old loves that movie. He's seen it at least 500 times 🙂
 
i auditioned to be an extra in K-19. Too tall though to be an authentic Russian submariner. Apparently russian subs are made for people under 5'9". I guess so they could make everything else smaller.
 
My parents house was used as a set for Prefontaine which was a trip. They closed off the street to my house so I had to check in with a cop when I wanted to go back home (only took 2 days). Also, one day I went into the garage to see if it was safe to leave because they were filming in my front yard. The director just shot off with, "who the hell are you?" and I responded with "I'm the guy that lives here!" He apologized and asked my to wait a few minutes. My sister got to be an extra and have Ed O'Neil hit on her. I was sadly overlooked.

A funny side note, my family was good friends with Prefontaine's real life best friend (he used to babysit me). He was a consultant on the movie and we were all surprised that they had used our house. Also, they turned our house competely retro, shag carpet everywhere.

$270 for the night, pretty good. Problem is, when I watched the movie almost a year later I already knew the ending. 🙁

Do you own that movie? Does anyone?

There's this line, I think, that goes "if it wasn't for the D-sack, you wouldn't even BE here". I need confirmation.
 
When I was in high school long, long ago they filmed a movie there. I was an extra in a dance that they shot. I don't even remember what the movie was called.
