A Royal Pain that was a Royal Gain for me!


And finally, more than just my BALDSPOT is shown on National TV!

Thursday nights "Royal Pains" on USA Network (episode 01x02 - There Will Be Food) got me some actual face time! Check it out!




I'm about 9:20 into the episode (and hopefully I've gotten this to cue up at just about the right point). If the embedded video doesn't show, then go here: http://www.hulu.com/watch/77330/royal-pains-there-will-be-food?c=556:590

Spent the day on Thursday filming various background scenes for various episodes of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" (which, based on the fact that it was raining on Thursday, proves that the title is a misnomer). I might be seen in one of the scenes here too, as I happened to be placed in a perfect spot, depending on which camera angle they use.

The director that day was none other than Mr. Wonder Years himself: Fred Savage. He looks just the same, even with a scruffy beard. Nice guy. We filmed in a Dave & Buster's in Philly, and I got paid to play games in the arcade for about 4 hours (THEY paid for the credits on the machines, and I got to keep the tickets, almost 1,400 credits worth - which should allow me to redeem them for a micro-plush "Stewie" doll or something like that). All in all, not a bad day. Especially since it paid more than some of my NY gigs!

Next week, my Mini and I get to work on another ep of Royal Pains! More on that next week...
