Fighting crime, earning a check...

Sometimes, I get to do some really amazing things.

I remember being on the set of The Producers, and being part of the final shot of the day - the one that got me my little bit of screen time and working with Michael McKean.

I remember singing The National Anthem at a local minor league ball game, hearing my voice echo through the stands.

Then there are days when I do THIS:

Oh yeah. The glamorous life of an actor. Walking the streets of Philly dressed as Batman.

It’s all part of a big "scavenger hunt" game (for my part, they had to find Batman, and take a staged picture of him doing something a Superhero would never do because if it ended up in the tabloids, he’d be ruined).

A friend who works in the city made it a point to track me down, take this pic, and immediately post it on his Facebook.

What a pal…

At least I get paid for this. And considering it’s only about two hours work, the pay ain’t bad when you calculate it.

Yup. I’m a working actor. I’m not a star, but I’m getting paid to do what I love.

It’s a start…
