Have you ever been in a movie?

[Steve Carlton]

I was an extra in The Wild McCullochs (1975), directed by Max Baer Jr (Jethro). The pay was minimal, but the lunch was great. I was one of 8-10 in a hayride, but it was darkened so you can’t see who anybody is. My film career ended after that.

No but my grandpa was an extra on a few shows (don't recall which). He got a kick out of doing those and that man was truly a character. I miss him.

I was in the crowd in the concert scene of Rock & Roll High School filmed in 1979.

I took a film class in college. I made a movie and appeared in another student's movie.

My truck was in "A Painted House." (Hallmark movie of John Grisham's book).

I haven't but a magazine I published years ago was in The Truman Show. Best screenshot I could take.

No, but I've been in a few plays, including three musicals. My favorites were Twelve Angry Men, Oliver!, and The Addams Family.

I was. Full length feature film. So was my 911.

I was in it because of the car. In the movie it belonged to a hottie who had to jump in it and zoom off down the winding driveway of a super cool minimalist modern mansion with a three-story waterfall in the living room.

My part totally consisted of my hand stamping the hottie’s hand for admission into a bar. Very crucial part of the plot, too. I gotta say I did my part great. Hit my mark (no mark) said my lines (no lines). I also held a spotlight for a scene so that I got two credits at the end.

Out of the 17 people who saw the movie, nobody recognized me. Michael Moore was at the world premiere! Free popcorn!

Only private ones.

Not me but my son has. He played the roll of a Turkish boy soldier in the movie "The Water Diviner". Directed by & staring Russel Crowe.

Getting ready for his part.



Screen grab from the movie. He's on the extreme left next to the lad wearing the white/red turban.
(FWIW: The guys with the rifles had to have a license to be able to handle firearms on set)

I was filmed in some scenes shot many times over for a 'reel' to be pitched to Netflix. I seriously doubt anything will come of it. The show, if it came to be, would be along the lines of "American Pickers." However, where AP left off is where this show begins — who buys this stuff and why?

The featured item for the reel (precursor to a pilot) involved a mid 1800's Texas or OK farm table 12 feet long with a lot of character being old growth wide plank pine. Nice and thick too, you don't buy this kind of lumber these days. Put together with square pegs in the tenons.

I was the "Roger" to what Wayne Carini did flipping cars. The old man that can fix anything. Well, I guess I am the old fart that can fix anything and make it look like it wasn't touched. Even in "Chasing Classic Cars." they didn't show anything about the end buyer. There can be more human interest if you follow the story a little further. This show would do that.

The buyer was a decorator that prefers to be called a designer that was going to use this in a Palos Verdes Peninsula (CA) home of sizable scale. It would have to be to accomodate a 12' table. I waxed this thing with a floor buffer!

I think the show had potential but the director wasn't that bright, IMO. If you follow the trail (literally the money) on some antique items the story can be interesting. Think of Tabs, the man of wealth and taste, telling all WRT great finds, what they represent, and what became of them. Enter interesting people of all walks of life stage left.

IDT this director had the vision. Had I done this, I would have brought out a little history of Western farm furniture, how it was used and why it got worn the way it did (think butcher blocks) and then the purchase, sale, and repurpose of the piece.

One dealer I work for regularly picks TX, OK and NE (and anywhere else a lead may take him) and buys anything Americana. He has college pennants, coboy hats, blankets and fabrics, and of course, lots of old pine furniture. Anything having to do with an old road house, signage, architectural elements, wall hangers like gold leaf mirrors (real stuff, not repros), gaming tables, you name it, they fight over it to get it to CA.

I would have thought that the pine furniture ship had sailed, but with all this barn door for an interior door fad going on, this stuff is selling like hotcakes. Reclaimed wood dealers are prospering.

Why all of this phenomena is going on is a subject for another thread.

That is so cool. In my opinion, his best.

I was commuting to Memphis in 2001 when the book came out...I stayed at the BOQ in Millington three weeks a month. Flew home, RT $135, every weekend except when I had a meeting on Monday I could not miss.

After reading the book, I retraced a lot of the narrative and places from the novel on those weekends I was in Millington and mpt back on the farm.

Very eye opening.

I will re-watch soonest.

To the OP: I don' think so.

I was the Male lead in a late 90s low-budget horror-comedy named, 4 Cheerleaders of the Apocalypse. I was also tasked by the Producer/Director/Writer to sell it into the Korean market, where it had an odd bit of limited success.

This recent review sums it up beautifully...

Are you the first guy that appears in the movie?
