During my years in Radio and TV, I had the opportunity to have little parts in several movies. Has anybody here ever been in one?

I had bit parts in:

Horror flick of the 60s, "Night of the Living Dead."
Paul Newman movie "Slap Shot" (I even tried out for a speaking part, but didn't get it.)
Sylvester Stallone movie "Fist"
The worst movie ever made "The Christmas Miracle" Starring Donald O'Connor and Morgana King. (Morgana who? She was Mrs Don Corleone in the God Father)

You've seen me in HBO's "The Corner", "The Wire", and NBC's "Homicide: Life on the Streets." You've seen my houseboat in "Ladder 49". Don't have the houseboat anymore.

I started out in television when I was 17, working at a local tv station as a camera man on the local
"Good Morning show" all before going to high school later in the morning, later graduated into editing
and video board, got to meet some very interesting people along the way, Nancy Culp, (Beverly Hillbilly's)
Olivia DeHavailand (Gone with The Wind) and several other lesser known character actors. One particularly
stands out as I got to know him very well over several weeks as I was in a travel log with him. Chill Wills,
John Wayne's side kick in many, many movies. he was no different in life as he was on screen, what a character
I would drive his motorhome for him and his wife after a shoot was over, usually late at night, he didn't like
driving at night. Wish I had stayed in the business but other things called.

[Donna]

I am sorry, I don't recognize you..I would certainly remember seeing you...LOL :bigthumbsup:
Now I can say I know another movie/TV star!!

[mackbeth]

Don't think I would categorize myself a movie star, just someone who worked with one.

[Donna]

Rballruss...I meant you ..LOL Sorry Mackbeth..LOL ;D

[mackbeth]

Shucks, five minutes of fame down the tube. ;D
