This topic ressurection was inspired by FT's posting of his appearance as an extra in the B-flick "Pirrahana" (sp?)


I saw that movie in the theatre when I was a kid. In the beginning some mini-claymated dinosaur walks around a lab or something. I also remember some camp counselor getting chomped while floating on an intertube in a lake.

I was a PA and an extra for a horrible TV movie about Hurricane Andrew. Directed by none other than Marvin Chomsky also director of "Roots" mini series. I mainly worked in the office with the GM, accountants, and office staff. I did introduce Marv to Cuban Coffe when he could'nt get a regular espresso. He thanked me and never asked for espresso again.
I also drove Ted Wass of "Blossom" fame around town in a doorless Jeep, and without the Teamster drivers knowing(I didn't know at the time but I guess that was a big deal).


I threw a football to John Cusack while he was on a moped and he wiped out. I can't remember if Booger was there or not. They were in town for some film on a beach in the North East.

I have worn glasses since the 3rd grade.

I sat hrough an entire dinner back to back with President Clinton.

I played a gig on a helicopter pad of a huge yacht in the middle of Biscayne bay for Columbus Day Festivities.

My first job in the music industry was for a NYC PR firm...I was 17.

My first day, and first assignment was to deliver a package of press clippings to one of the firm's current featured artists....

No problem I thought....The stuff was to be delivered to Jayne County. When he/she opened the door, let's just say i was a little shocked....

After that day, I decided I might not have been ready for the music industry as of yet...I never went back.....

In case you dont know who she is....

from allmusic.com "Making his initial name as a prominent scenester during the heady days of the early-'70s New York punk club scene, Wayne County later gained additional renown as perhaps rock's most prominent transsexual performer, billing herself as Jayne County following her return to the U.S. from Berlin in 1980. " do a google search after that. pretty damn intriguing, now that I look back at it.. wish i would have gotten to know her.

in 1992, the day before election day, i went to a clinton rally in an airport hanger in st. louis. he shook our hands and when he came to me i took his hand, and not knowing exactly what to say, i shouted to him, "Baka Baka Bill" in my best 1970's porn movie guitar riff voice. he looked at me very stangely then moved on. little did i know how profound my comments would be...
