Strictly Background (2007)

As Dewey Cox (Reilly) sings Walk Hard to record producer (Higgins), I am the first of three "sound engineers" to pop into the doorway to hear the song better.

Visibility factor: 4 stars out of 5


My Name Is Earl
Season 3 (2008)

(Even though I didn't work any Season Three episodes, it's still one of the top best written comedies on television...)


Ghost Whisperer
Season Two (2006)

In episode 2.5 A Grave Matter, I am actor David Paymer's photo double; best seen in the rain after he's hit by lightning, and two bi-location bits, one at the cabin and another in an alley.

Visibility factor: 3 stars out of 5


Ghost Whisperer
Season One (2005)


Ghost Whisperer
Season Three (2007)


Accepted (2006)

During the surprise Parents Day event, I am one of the parents. Amusingly (I'm 5'7"), I was matched up with a wife who was about 5', with a son well over 6'...
Visibility factor: 5 stars out of 5


Garfield: The Movie (2004)

I am the milkman at the opening of the film.

Along Came Polly (2004)

With four other men, for the Jesus Christ Superstar sequence, I had a fitting and a rehearsal for the scene. We spent the next four days "working" on this film by waiting in holding and not seeing a camera. The last day they brought us up for an entirely different bit, in which I'm not visible. In the finished film the Jesus Christ Superstar sequence was almost completely eliminated, though in the "lobby," my then black and white headshot is clearly visible on the bulletin board.

Visibility factor: 0.5 stars out of 5


Matchstick Men (2003)

I worked a few days on this excellently written film: I loved the finished product. Originally as the girl is entering the laundrymat, she follows Nicolas Cage's instructions of scoping out those inside.
I was filmed with her passing behind me and my glancing at her. She eventually finds Beth Page as her best mark.
In the finished film, there is a jarring edit of the girl seemingly teleporting from Cage's car to instantly going after Beth Grant.
I still loved the film, and highly recommend it (and I later learned the two writer brothers are first cousins to one of my best friends).

Stealing Harvard (2002)

I worked a day on this film as a character one step below full drag; as one in a flashback montage of numerous "Mr. Wrongs" for Megan Mullally's character marries one right after another. It would have been screamingly funny, but the sequence is not in the film, nor are there any deleted scenes on the DVD. I add it here as it was still relatively funny, and I am a fan both of Jason Lee and the very sweet Megan Mullally.

Visibility factor: 0 stars out of 5


Pearl Harbor (2001)

I am the patient in the dentists chair as the dentist takes the cryptic call from the Japanese spy.

Visibility factor: 5 stars out of 5


The Man Who Wasn't There (2001)

While not in the finished film, on the DVD I have my own deleted scene: Alpine Rope Toss.
I was on set for several days before they got to me, but the top of my head was shaved every day, and a hair appliance added for the specific hair-cut.
[Clip used in Strictly Background.]

Visibility factor: 4 stars out of 5


Dude, Where's My Car? (2000)

I worked quite a number of days on this film, quite visible therein, as one of the Zoltan cultists, first seen driving up alongside Ashton Kutcher.
On the DVD, director Danny Lennier ("albeit" calling me "a nut"), comments on having found my webpage about my experiences on the film, although he neglects to mention my name or how/where to find the page... (Ashton or Scott suddenly realizes what Danny is saying and adds, "Oh that's th'guy...?")

Stanley's Gig (2000)

This little known indie film airs a lot on various cable channels. William Sanderson rushes by me with the empty wheelchair; wearing a green polo shirt and my badger cap, I glance back at him.

Visibility factor: 4 stars out of 5


The Animal (2001)

I worked a couple of days on this feature, though more visible on the DVD, and even then Don't Blind.

Visibility factor: 0.5 stars out of 5


O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)

A night shoot at Warner Bros. backlot, as Baby-face Nelson is paraded down the street at night, followed by a torch wielding mob, I am far right of the screen (within the mob I am actually dead center, so an entire half of the mob are offscreen).

Visibility factor: 2 stars out of 5


X-Files episode 6.08: Rain King (1999)

I am "all over" the Kansas high school reunion scene.
At first I was matched up with a younger woman, with whom we did some business as the DJs booth explodes (standing behind me with me as a human shield, the girl literally grabs me big time).
This girl "got tired," and could not be found, and I had been talking with someone closer to my age, so she and I partnered up. Between takes, one of the ADs or PAs came up to my dance partner and I and said they (in Video Village) all thought we were "a cute couple." Somehow, and utterly unintentional, for one take I put on my jacket, my having no memory of having done so. I thought I'd placed it at the back of a chair as one would do at a reunion. Turns out for one camera shot, I put it on (maybe coming back from lunch or so). As it was, while dancing, in one shot my jacket suddenly appears on me, then vanishes again for the rest of the scene.

Visibility factor: 5 stars out of 5


Inherit the Wind (1999)

In the town council scene at the beginning, I am the mayor's aide, bringing in the newspaper, the scene for which I got my first SAG voucher, despite the irony that the day before my agent notified me I was booked/Taft Hartley'd into a national SAG commercial (rendering me SAG eligible).
I am also visible throughout the trial scenes: we worked about four weeks on this awesome project.
Despite this being George C. Scott's final role before his death, and one of Jack Lemmon's best performances, this title still has not been released on DVD and is still only available on VHS.

Visibility factor: 5 stars out of 5


The Tic Code (1999)

The last feature on which I worked in New York (and the last one in which I am bearded), I am in the jazz club watching Gregory Hines play the saxophone.

Visibility factor: 4 stars out of 5


Illuminata (1998)

Outside the theatre as Christopher Walken arrives, I am at the top of the steps (bearded). I react as a few peanuts hurled at Walken hit me as well.
Inside, as the announcement is made regarding halting the performance but that the new play would be performed the following night, I am somewhat visible not only with the camera right in my face, but seated next to my mother (we happened to be placed that way in the audience balcony). She is also visible outside Walken's coach, highly amused as the women verbally accosts Walken.

Visibility factor: 4 stars out of 5


In & Out (1997)

Still bearded, I am one of the parents in the climactic graduation scene, with some very good coverage of me.
[Clip used in Strictly Background.]

Visibility factor: 5 stars out of 5


I'm Not Rappaport (1996)

Bearded, I play a Russian immigrant worker, voting in the 1907 Ladies Garment District Union for a stike. While near the back of the auditorium, as we each rise to "take the old Hebrew oath," the camera passes me slowly.
