in another futile attempt to brighten the mood of this list a little, I thought I'd share another 'brush with celebrity' story. This isn't my story, it belongs to a friend of mine who moved to LA a few years ago to find work in the entertainment industry. I left his name off, but other than that this is his message to me. Enjoy, Tyler
I booked work as a background extra on a show called "Bob Patterson" (it's the show starring Jason Alexander (from Seinfeld) that will be on TV this fall). I arrive on the set and am told that I in the scene I'm in I'll be standing in a elevator with John Tesh. I have to go to the elevator to learn how the trap door/escape hatch works (so we can get in and out of the elevator without the audience seeing us), and meet up with John Tesh and another extra. John Tesh introduces himself to us as "John", he is a very nice, personable guy. As we are learning to work the door, we are told that we have to know this so that we can let Bo Derek out of the elevator, so we can get onto it. Bo Derek! We open the door and Bo Derek steps out as we step in. At this point I realize just how surreal this moment is. By the way, Bo Derek is just SOOO beautiful, that it's amazing. Not the jiggle girl from "10", but a really beautiful woman and only slightly shorter than me. She was also very nice. So to recap, my job for two days was to stand backstage with John Tesh, open a door, let Bo Derek out and then stand in the elevator with John Tesh and then I'm done. What an incredibly difficult and complex job, eh? Oh yeah and I had to eat a ton of free catered food. Oh boy, I could get used to this. Is Hollywood great, or what?!
