FOR THE LOVE OF GOD...

For The Love Of God.... I am not really a priest and today is February 2nd not February 1st, you crazy blog site.


For the second time in only a few months, I was cast as a priest in a movie. Atleast 25 of the other 60 actors asked me if I was really a priest. Some of them saw me as a priest on Blonde Ambition and thought that I may be a real priest and that it would be easier just to get a real priest than an actor. NO!!! I am not a priest. Because of down time, I now know where to find the lyrics to the Byrds song Turn, Turn, Turn. (Ecclesiastes 3:1) It's an intersting read.
So anyway, I got cast as a priest in the Harold and Kumar sequel, probably gonna be called Harold and Kumar got to Amsterdam. Funny, funny stuff. We shot in a sound stage that was impossible to heat. The high temperature may have gotten up to 55 degrees. My body is sore all over from shivering for the past couple of days. Whew!!!
