Theme-Based Low-Carb Links: Leatherheads

Appearing as an extra in "Leatherheads" was awesome!

Okay, I know, this category of links is not exactly "low-carb," but I have written quite extensively about my experience being on the set of the upcoming Hollywood blockbuster film "Leatherheads" starring and produced by superstar George Clooney and co-starring Renee Zellweger and "The Office" star John Krasinski.


Working with George Clooney up close and personal

I don't think I'll ever forget what it was like to be on the set of a Hollywood movie. As glamorous as you think it might be, though, it isn't what you think. There's a WHOLE lotta down time and you start to feel like cattle (go here, move there, let's do that scene one more time after doing it 100 times already). MOO!


I was an extra for four days in three cities

Even still, the payoff was when "Leatherheads" hit theaters on April 4, 2008. The pay wasn't much, but I would have done it for nothing! Who knows what could happen from here if my former fat boy mug makes it on the silver screen!


Yep, that's Jimmy Moore playing a hotel doorman

I was in the scene with Clooney driving up on his 1920's-styled motorcycle in front of the Emerson hotel about 15 minutes into the movie. You won't be able to miss me because I'm the tall doorman in the blue uniform you see me wearing above who gives his character an incredulous look. We did that scene so many times, there's no way to miss it! :)
