Well done Stephon. Well done! I saw that commercial today. We need more dirt bikers in that business. I sincerely hope you do well. Keep the updates coming.

Sweet! Any gig is a good one as long as it pays the bills, right?

Tight...light blue slacks. They switch me to those, on set, after spending 4 hours at a wardrobe fitting several days prior on a Saturday. Saturday equals double pay and no complaints from me!

Hey Jonjon714, I grew up in Virginia Beach!

It was filmed at LAX. We had a little area to ourselves that was closed to the public. We still had to go through TSA though. It was kinda funny to see how people looked at us as we entered the area with crew and equipment...I guess they thought we were "important".

And yes, everyone else in the shot, outside of the 5 principal actors, is background/extra.

I've always been of the opinion that most any job is a good job! Besides, you must be doing something right. I mean to have an intern and all....Wink

Congrats!

You ever watch "Dirty Jobs"? I've had a few of those jobs on that show but there are a few that I just can't imagine calling a "good job". Smile

Hey Spydee,

There was sand in those coffee cups. I couldn't remember myself, but I knew they weren't empty. I had to text that "Smooth Intern Larry" to ask him.

Those guys, Regis & Friday, are SO factory! I'm working out of a box van trying to get off privateer island.

I could fill-in for Will Hahn for the rest of the West Coast rounds. I'm sorta fast...

Ahh, nothing beats a hit of sand coffee in the morning!



Seriously though that's cool as hell (the ad, not the sand coffee). Seemed like the camera loved you more than anyone else, ha! What's your next instalment going to be?
