It's Not Every Day That... Ukuleles Are Played!

It's not every day that you see William H. Macy heading to the Shameless stage while playing a ukulele!

It's Not Every Day That... Draco Malfoy!

It's not every day that you get to see Tom Felton aka Harry Potter's nemesis, Draco Malfoy leaving a taping of Lopez Tonight.

It's Not Every Day That... The Muppets!!

It's not every day that you get to see The Muppets!

Well, technically, I didn't see The Muppets, but I did get to see how Midwest was all decked out for The Muppets movie to shoot a scene in. Very cool. I also happened to see Jason Segel and Amy Adams arrive to set via golf cart.

It's Not Every Day That... Hula Hooping!

It's not every day that you get to see Linda Hamilton hula hooping between scenes for an episode of CHUCK.

It's Not Every Day That... 3rd Taping of CONAN

It's not every day that you get to go to a live taping.

Conan O'Brien's got a new late night show, simply titled CONAN.

I was fortunate enough to go to the 3rd show. Guests included: Jon Hamm, Charlene Yi and musical guest: Fistfuls of Mercy.

It was the first talk show I've ever had the opportunity of going to and it certainly will not be the last. It was entertaining and a lot of fun!

It's Not Every Day That... Halloween or Christmas?

Nothing says celebrating Halloween better than having 50+ Santas walking around the Warner Brothers lot of a Christmas episode of The Mentalist. The episode titled "Jolly Red Elf" happened to shoot during the days before Halloween.

Sure, when you go to a movie studio lot, you expect to see this most random costumes: cowboy, Roman solider, astronaut. But do you really ever think, that maybe you'll round a corner and run into 50 or so men dressed in Santa suits. Though, not all of them were in full blown costumes. Some of them had the summer look. You know, big white beard, big belly, Christmas-y Hawaiian shirt with shorts and sandals. Yes, it was a sight that would definitely turn anyone's head. And yes, it was very entertaining.

It's Not Every Day That... Fireball Explosions

It's not every day that you get invited to watch special effects as they happen.

One of the coolest teams I've met while walking the lot, the SPFX team from CHUCK. They are always so proud of all the cool special effects they get to do every week. That sometimes they forget that they can be dangerous.

A friend and I got invited to watch CHUCK shoot a fireball explosion one evening. Let's just say it was pretty cool. And even from the require distance we were standing from the explosion we could still feel the heat.

King Cobras

I got to watch a little bit of filming of a CHUCK episode that took place in the Warner Brothers "Jungle." Guest star on the set: KING COBRA snakes. Let's just say, I kept my distance.

It's Not Every Day That... It's Underwear Friday??!!

You never know who or what you may run into while walking on the WB lot.

On Friday, while showing 2 friends/coworkers around, we happened to be by the Shameless stage when the show was wrapping for the night. I casually mentioned to my friends that if we stayed put for a bit, we might see the actors leaving the stage.

As we were standing there across from the stage, William H. Macy walked out clad only in a white undershirt and boxers. He stopped and looked directly at us. Then he says, "Just so you know, it's Underwear Friday." And then he continued onto his trailer.

Needless to say, my friends and I were utterly surprised. That was definitely something we will never forget.

It's HOT in Burbank!!

It was 107 degrees in Burbank today! One-OH-Seven!!! Seriously? Seriously?

It's freakin' September... I mean practically October already and it's HOT!

Halloween Horror Nights 2010

Oh, Halloween, how I love you...

I love scary movies, I love scaring people and I do sort of enjoy the strong intensity of being scared. I love the growing adrenaline that rushes through my body when I am sitting on the edge of my seat while watching a scary movie.

I grew up with 2 older brothers and a father that loved to scare me and my friends. So I am used to it. However, I was a little nervous about going to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios. I was tired from a long day at work, but I promised my 2 friends that I would go. So I did.

And the thing that I think got me through the night in one piece was the fact that I was so tired; just plain ol' exhausted that I was very aware of my surroundings. Very AWARE!! I loved the adrenaline that was pumping through my veins almost the entire time I was in the theme park. And I enjoyed myself. But I absolutely enjoyed the 'monsters' scaring the living daylights out of the individuals who dared to scream. I loved watching the 'actors' chasing after people carrying chainsaws. It was a fascinating experience, and perhaps I will go again. But I'd kind of like to go with someone who scares easily.

A Wonderful Way to be Welcomed Back to Work...

I went home for 10 days for a family wedding. I was away from the WB lot for 10 days. That's like an eternity. Well, technically not really, but when you love where you work, it can seem like forever.

And though, I hate to admit it, I was a little stressed about being away that long. I am such a NERD! It's kinda sad. But I love where I work; I don't want to miss out on anything really cool or exciting!! Is that such a bad thing? I think not.

And to my utter surprise, I felt like I was welcomed back to the lot with open arms. Actually, it was more along the lines of encircled arms. Okay, it was a hug. And not just any hug. It was a HUG from Zachary Levi. Hmmm, yeah, let's just say I was very happy to be back at work that day.

CHUCK just happened to be filming outdoors the week I got back to work. And they were filming in a parking lot at a "bunker" for an episode titled: CHUCK vs The Couch Lock.

And there I was, on my lunch just enjoying the fact that I am fortunate enough to get to sit on the sidelines and watch filming. I am content with that. I could do that all day long. I am content with just about any filming, but it is definitely a lot more fun, when I get to watch a show I actually like.

Okay, anyway, back to the story: I am standing on the side watching everything. The cameras. The crew. The background. The stand-ins. And the actors. And Zac sees me watching everything and just waves and says "Hi." And I was happy to reply. Then he has to go over and get a "mic" on for the shot and he is a little ways behind me. He starts to go back toward the bunker, but then stops and come back over to me and gives me a HUG! He was nice enough to come over and say "Hey, what are you doing over here?" and give me that HUG!

OMG!!!

I don't really remember very much after that point. My mind's a little foggy. But let me just say again, that I felt happy to be back at work.

The 'View' Outside...

So I am at the Costume Department on the Warner Brothers lot, paying for my dress alteration and the women in the department are all giddy about something.

I am there on my ten minute break, hoping that this little errand doesn't take too long and the women are talking about the 'view' outside. And here I am thinking, that the location of the department doesn't really have that great of a view of anything. Just the side of a hill from the windows. So when they tell me to go open the doors and look outside to see this 'view,' I am a little hesitant.

What do I see? Not what, but whom? Everyone is in a frenzy over Bradley Cooper. And I must say, once I saw the 'view,' I understood what all the fuss was about. Yes, Bradley Cooper, had just arrived from the airport (I think, as he had luggage) and was waiting to meet with someone to discuss an upcoming role. And yes, he did look good with the baseball cap on and the scruffy face.

So my little errand to the department ended up being the best part of my day.

Dress Alterations by Costume Designers

My little sister is getting married in September and I am a Bridesmaid in the wedding. My dress arrived and I needed to get it altered. So I wondered if I could possibly have it done at the Warner Brothers Costume shop, and found out that YES, yes I can. Though it did cost me more than I would have like; it is such a cool story to share with friends and family.

This is something that I thought could be a possibility, and then it became a reality. Such a interesting and fun experience.

The Mentalist, Episode 2 of Season 3

Tonight I got to stand right across from the action of an upcoming Season 3 episode of The Mentalist and it all happened because I've made friends with some of the crew members.

The episode is called Cackle-Bladder Blood. And in the scene, Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) is at a restaurant in Sacramento and he interrupts a conversation by Van Pelt (Amanda Righetti) and an elderly woman.

It was fascinating to watch and I can't wait until it airs to see the scene really come together.

INCEPTION: AMAZING!!!

I went to the Employee Screening of INCEPTION today on the Warner Brothers Lot.

Let me tell you, it was an amazing movie; definitely going to have to see it again.

Won't say anymore, don't want to spoil anything...

Go see it!

Zombies Meet Californication?!

Since I haven't seen that many episodes of Californication, I can't really tell you what the episode was about. But I thought it was mighty interesting to have Zombies on an episode of Californication that they were filming on the lot.

And I heard that the actors that were playing the Zombies were having fun with the tours and kind of chasing after them as they drove by. Plus David Duchovny was on the lot, and that's pretty cool to see Special Agent Fox Mulder.

Golf Carts

One of the most AWESOME Golf Carts I have ever seen on the lot...

Can you guess who this belongs to?

The "BAT-CART"

WB Perks: Employee Screening of True Blood Premiere

One of the many, many perks of working at the WB: getting to see stuff early!

Today was one of those days.

On my lunch, I was fortunate enough to be one of few that got to walk over to the screening rooms on the WB lot and watch the TRUE BLOOD Season 3 premiere before it actually aired. It was a little weird to watch this type of show with co-workers but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

And after the screening, we had the opportunity to listen to Brian Buckner (writer/producer), Alexander Woo (writer/producer) and Audrey Fisher (Costume Designer) talk about the show.

And lucky me, I found one of the hidden cards and won the first and second season of True Blood on Blu-ray. Guess I'll have to get a blu-ray player now.

Flamethrower?!!!

Just another day on the WB lot...

FLAMETHROWER being tested by professionals on Hennsey Street on the Warner Brothers lot.

Lunch turned into a fiery occasion.

True Blood Ultimate Truebie Event, Burbank

I don't know if you can tell from previous posts, but I've become a bit of a True Blood fan.

And when I found out that there was going to be a special True Blood Event for fans before the beginning of Season 3, well, I had to see if I could go. I found out about the event via Facebook and I believe the HBO website.

Now that I am living in Southern CA, these things are easier to come by and easier to get to. So I got off of work in time and headed over to the Burbank AMC where the event took place on Tuesday, June 1.

WHAT HAPPENED??

Well, after arriving earlier than necessary (I WAITED IN LINE FOR 3 HOURS!!!). We were let into the theater; where we sat for another 30 minutes. Then we got a refresher of Season 2, followed by the Season 2 finale. It was fun to watch the finale with fellow fans and to see it on the big screen at the movie theater made the experience better as well. However, there were some technical difficulties during the video, which supposedly was being broadcast to us live.

Then after the video we got to watch a Sneak Peek at Season 3 and finally a live Q & A with the cast and Alan Ball (with Michael Ausiello of EW asking the questions). This video would later be available to everyone. The Q & A was fun and entertaining. Definitely loved it!

After the screening, as we were exiting the theater, we were all present with a SWAG bag and a Season 3 poster.

Included in the SWAG bag: a bottle of Tru Blood, Season 2 soundtrack, the first 3 Sookie Stackhouse books and nine mini posters, as well as the bag itself.

True Blood, Season 3, Episode 9

Briefly watched a scene from True Blood Episode 9 "Everything is Broken" being filmed in the Jungle tonight...

The scene involved Ryan Kwanten aka Jason Stackhouse and newcomer Lindsey Pulsipher as Crystal. They were in front of Merlotte's Bar and Grill with Crystal in a truck that speeds off and Jason stares after her.

Also recognizable on set: Nelsan Ellis (Lafayette), Rutina Wesley (Tara), James Frain (Franklin) and Gregory Sporleder (Calvin Norris).

And of course, the numerous background extras and crew members.

UDF...

The Untitled Dan Fogelman Project began production on the WB lot this week...

It's a romantic comedy about a father in marital crisis trying to get back into the dating game. It stars Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling and Marisa Tomei.

I'm very excited that there is a movie on the lot, now that most of the WB shows are on hiatus.

While hanging out with a friend (who is also a crew member on the film), I spotted Steve Carell arriving to set via van. He seemed so nice, he held the door of the van open so that everyone could pile out. Then he held open the door to the stage so that everyone could file in. Very nice indeed!

Back-up Plan, Bonfire Birthday Beach Bash & Baby Shower

It was a weekend full of "B's"...

Went with my friend, Mute to see The Back-up Plan after work on Friday. It was a must-see on both our lists, because the movie filmed on the WB lot for a full 2 weeks. It was fun to see Henn/Tenn Streets all decorated for a film. It was also FREE to see the movie, since we had both garnered up free passes for working so hard at work.

Then Saturday came along and I was invited to a Bonfire Birthday Beach Bash at Dockweiler Beach. It was fun and cold by the time the sun set. It was a beautiful sunset (see photo above) But it was pretty cool to sit on the beach and watch the planes from LAX take off. Sure, it was loud, but it was an experience.

And the end the weekend, I went to a co-worker's Baby Shower. That was a lot of fun. We played some games (I won 2) and we had lunch and cake and just had fun hanging out as a group.

Russell Brand Run-In

Random day...

I am at work and a couple of people are freaking out because Russell Brand is on the lot. And I'm thinking I know his name and I think I know what he looks like, but I don't really care. I heard that he was riding a bicycle around the lot or he was driving a golf cart (don't remember which).

Anyway, I go for a walk on my lunch like I always do. And today, I happen to be wearing one of my "Goonies" tee shirts that always gets people's attention. That movie is a classic and I happen to own 3 different shirts that say "The Goonies" on them. But this one red shirt always gets comments.

So I walking down past Stage 8, and I see these 2 guys standing in the middle of the road and I thinking to myself, I think that is Russell Brand. And as I start to walk pass them, the guy with the beard, says Hey. I say Hello back. And ask them how they are doing. They were both good. The responded back and asked me if I was okay. I told them to have a nice day as I passed by them.

When I got back to work, I Googled 'Russell Brand.' And sure enough, I learn that I just had a mini conversation with Russell Brand and one of his friends.

A 'Daredevil' moves his Production Company to the Lot

Exciting Lot News... Ben Affleck moves his production company to the WB lot.

Red Letter Motel

Today on my lunch, I hung outside a "motel," at least it was a motel for an upcoming episode (#22) of The Mentalist. Normally the building is the home of production offices. But today, Simon Baker, Amanda Righetti and Leslie Hope were all outside filming scenes for the episode called "Red Letter."

Unsuccessful attempts...

Today, I had planned on going to the pilot episode of a new show called, "Sh*t My Dad Says." It stars William Shatner as the dad. It is based on a Twitter account of the same name.

A coworker invited me and we were very excited. We met at the studio. Unfortunately for us, everyone in the world wanted to watch it as well, as it was a Sunday and nothing films on Sundays. So we were unsuccessful in our attempt to actually score seats.

Instead of driving straight home, we opted to walk the Warner Bros. Lot on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. I took Moff* on a tour of the Warner Bros. Lot. We hung out, walked around, took some pics. We had fun, so it wasn't a complete waste of time to go all the way into town on a Sunday.

To our surprise, there actually was one other show filming on the lot on this Sunday. A new pilot from David E Kelley tentatively called "Kindreds" starring Kathy Bates. And we saw her leaving set as we talked to security. That was pretty cool.

By the time we finally left the lot, "Sh*t My Dad Says" had finished filming too, and I saw William Shatner leaving the studio in his car.

All in all, I suppose it turned into a rather good day.

Week in Review: 3/15 to 3/21

This week was the last week that CHUCK was filming on our lot :(

I worked a lot of overtime this week. And I had 2 days off (I either had to use these special holidays or I would lose them). I was very sad that the company was forcing me to take time off during a very busy week of the year. But somehow, I managed to make my way over to the lot on those 2 days.

Monday 3/15:

To start off the week, I watched Dark Blue film some scenes on Hennessy Street, Logan Marshall-Greene was in the scenes.

I saw Zachary Levi as well as some of the BUY MORE background extras.

I saw Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco from The Big Bang Theory hanging outside their stage.

And randomly saw Skeet Ulrich and character actor Brad Rowe.

Tuesday 3/16:

Watched Dark Blue run traffic on Hennessy Street and saw the director of the first episode of the 2nd Season: Jeffrey Hunt.

Wednesday 3/17 (St. Patty's Day):

I had a very nice conversation with Zachary Levi when I ran into him on my lunch. I also saw Dark Blue prep and The Mentalist prep and some of the actors from The Big Bang Theory.

Thursday 3/18:

My required day off... I didn't do a whole lot during the day except get ready for my Mom's visit.

I got a text in the evening asking if I was still at work, which I wasn't... but quickly dressed and drove over so that I could join Mute, on an expedition onto the lot, in hopes of seeing the CHUCK cast on their last day of filming for the 3rd Season on the WB lot. And we were successful in our expedition, we ran into the boys of the show: Zac, Adam, Ryan and Josh. Short, quick chats all around. Unfortunately for us, I had to head to the airport to pick up my mom for her quick trip to visit me for the weekend.

Friday 3/19:

With my mom in tow, we went back to the WB lot on Friday, we had lunch at the commissary, enjoying the sun, the food and the general atmosphere of the WB lot. I gave her my own special tour and then we headed to Santa Monica to enjoy the sun some more and the beach. We ended our night with dinner at Bubba Gump's on the Santa Monica Pier.

Saturday 3/20:

Took my mom to Universal Studios for her very 1st time. We enjoyed the park for about 7 hours. Went on rides, enjoyed a couple of shows. We had fun. We went shopping and to end the night we went to see The Bounty Hunter. (it was an okay film)

Sunday 3/21:

To end the week, my mom ran errands with me. We sort of enjoyed breakfast at Souplantation. I didn't really care for it much. And then I had to drive her back to the airport. She caught an earlier flight.

And for dinner, I went to Olive Garden with my roomies... Ah, that's the best!

The Past 2 Weeks: 2/15/10 to 2/26/10

2/25/10: Justin Hartley comes into the Tour Store and specifically asks for me... where am I? On my freakin' lunch break in the breakroom. Missed meeting him by like 30 seconds.

2/24/10: My heart skips a beat when I realize that Justin Hartley aka The Green Arrow from the CW's SMALLVILLE walks into the tour store. I have seriously been crushing on this guy for a few years now. And he finally walks in the door, and I am completely and utterly speechless...

Also, visited the Warner Brothers Ranch for the first time, pretty cool, need to visit during the daytime.

2/23/10: Saw Taylor Lautner aka Team Jacob while on my lunch.

2/19/10: Hung out on the lot after work and watched (well, heard some scenes being filmed of Episode 5 of season 3 of TRUE BLOOD. Scene involved black panthers. BEAUTIFUL cats... The part of the panther is played by brother & sister panthers. Saw Ryan Kwanten and Sam Trammell.

Also saw a scene involving "Jeffster" at the Buy More being filmed for an episode of CHUCK.
Saw Kathryn Morris, Johnny Messner from Cold Case. And Simon Baker and Tim Kang of THE MENTALIST.

2/18/10: Saw Sam Trammell aka Sam Merlotte in between takes of an upcoming episode of TRUE BLOOD

Sam Merlotte and the panthers

There be Panthers and Sam Merlotte in these here woods...

This past week, I got to experience my second go-round of True Blood filming in the jungle on the WB lot. Again, with the friendship I have with Stan, I was allowed access to filming and got to see the beautiful black panthers.

2 black panthers: a brother & sister. The male weighed in at approximately 125 lbs and the female at 95 lbs.

The first night (Thursday) of filming, my friend Oregano joined me and we hung out with Stan again. We met more crew members (all very nice). And while we were standing near the craft service table, very deep in conversation, Oregano and I lost our train of thought because Sam Trammell aka Sam Merlotte walked up to get some food. We just stood there looking appalled at each other, completely stunned silent. Just mouthing ums, and ahs.

The second night (Friday), my friend Mute joined me. And that was the night it rained. Luckily I bought a nice Golf Umbrella for us to stand under. We talked to Stan and he informed us that the panthers were there. Another crew member invited us down towards Merlotte's for a look at the panthers. They were set up in cages under a light post near the bar.

We stood under production equipment while we tried to watch them film a scene with the male panther. We could not see very much, as they were in the bushes. We could hear the animal trainer clapping and talking to the panther to try and encourage him to move to his mark.

The panthers were such beautiful creatures. I wish I had an opportunity to take a photo of them.

We were fortunate enough to watch some scenes of episode 5 of Season 3 being filmed this time around.

Kitties and Tigers, OH MY!

Last week, I visited 'Switzerland' on my lunch, this week: The African Congo.

I walked over to the "Jungle," on my lunch because CHUCK was filming over there and I ran into one of my security guard friends, who offered to give me a quick tour of the 'Congo.' There were tents set up every where. The outdoor set looked really cool, I believe they even had a fog machine.

The security guard took me back down a dirt road and showed me the 'Kitten House' in the Jungle. There is a small house in the back corner of the jungle for all those Cagney Cats that hang around the WB lot to keep the rodent population under control. There were a few kittens hanging outside the small building, playing with each other. I almost got one to come over to me, but he was too scared.

After my walk through the Congo, I made my way back to reality and onto the main lot. I walked over by Stage 4 (one of the CHUCK stages) because I heard there were still Tigers on the lot. And to my surprise, they were loading up one of the tigers into the back of its very own trailer.

See photo above.

The Golden Globes 2010

Now I haven't seen all of the movies nor do I watch all the television shows that were nominated for the 2010 Golden Globe Awards, but like most I do have my favorites and I wished that they had won.


Right before the show started I went through the list of nominees and I made my list of my "projected winners," like I normally do for every Award Show I watch.

I really hate to admit this because I am a huge Movie fanatic, but I have not seen any of the films that were nominated for Best Motion Picture Drama. I know, it's very wrong, because this is the industry that I want to work in. And I should have done my homework and gone out and seen all the movies that were nominated. But frankly, I can't afford it. But I know that AVATAR has won Best Drama, I will definitely go out and see it. I hear the cinematography is amazing but the story is, eh.


I was rooting for DEXTER to win Best Dramatic TV Series... I feel as though Mad Men should wait a year before they win again. Didn't they win last year? I know, I know... I'm complaining and yet I have never sat down and watched that TV Show. But this year's DEXTER was phenomenal. It as my favorite season by far.

I am so excited that the show did get some wins:
YAY!!!! For DEXTER's stars: Michael C. Hall and John Lithgow...

I am excited that The Hangover won for Best Motion Picture Musical or Comedy!

And so the True Blood Season begins... filming :)

TRUE BLOOD has been filming the 3rd Season for awhile now. I think they started filming their 3rd season at the end of November, though if I heard correctly, they went ON LOCATION to Louisiana to get some real Southern shots for Bon Temps.

On Tuesday, January 12, 2010 I was very fortunate in that I got to watch some of these exterior shots being filmed.

On my lunch, I did a quick lap around the lot, (I didn't want to seem too eager to go over to where they were filming). It's kind of hard to just walk by and look into the jungle when there are all these big production trucks around. As I was passing by I thought I heard a familiar voice, so I went around some of the portable buildings and found my new friend, Stan. And I am so thankful, that I had the courage to do that.

I knew someone working on the production. YAY!!! I was standing there enjoying this fact when I heard TRUE BLOOD filming. I could hear Sookie Stackhouse screaming. And moments later, I watched Anna Paquin walk right past me in her full Sookie Stackhouse costume, complete with the white Merlotte's tee shirt and apron. OH MY GOD!!! That moment was exhilarating to be that close to yet another Academy-Award winner. She seemed nice and she's kind of short.

I headed back to work not too long after that to let my TRUE BLOOD friends know, that we had an "in" for later on that night, after work. We were all very excited. I contacted a friend from upstairs and she had told me that she had gotten to watch Anna Paquin and Sam Trammell (Sam Merlotte) do a scene while she was on a break.

When my friend, Nirv got off work and was ready to go, we had 2 more TRUE BLOOD fans who joined us on this adventure: Rock* and Oregano* (both female fans). I wasn't sure that 4 of us would be allowed to watch filming. I was a little worried that too many of us would cause the crew to be apprehensive with letting us hang out.

When I found Stan, I introduced him to my friends, and then asked us if we wanted to see some production. He lead the way down the beaten path to the 'parking lot of Merlotte's.' It was very cool to see the set all dressed up, complete with neon lights and signs in the window. Stan introduced us to a PA named Sunny. Sunny was a very nice guy and he showed us where we could stand without being in the way or in the shot. Oh, the four of us were giddy with excitement.

We got to watch a scene involving Tara and some drunks that came stumbling out of the bar. We watched them do this scene a dozen or so times. We watched the actors as they went to and from the set. We watched the crew as they set up the shots, as they set up the lights, as they made sure everything was in order for filming. I believe these were scenes for Episode 2 of Season 3. So not only did I get to hear TRUE BLOOD filming but I got to watch it film.

Nirv and Rock eventually left due to other engagements, so that left me and Oregano to endure the cold and soak up the production.

Oregano and I got to say hi to Ryan Kwanten aka Jason Stackhouse, all bundled up in a big black jacket (no he wasn't shirtless, or naked. At least, not that we could tell).

Eventually I had to head home, but I love every minute of being there (even if I was cold).

I was very fortunate to see quite a bit of the cast including:

Anna Paquin-- Sookie Stackhouse
Rutina Wesley-- Tara Thorton
Ryan Kwanten-- Jason Stackhouse
Chris Bauer-- Andy Bellefleur
James Frain-- Franklin Mott
Brad Carter-- Drunk bar patron
Andy Mackenzie-- Drunk bar patron


Sadly, Stephen Moyer nor Alexander Skarsgard were not in any of the scenes.

*Again names have been changed to protect the fangbangers :)

Christian Slater's The Forgotten

The Forgotten, a new TV show with Christian Slater, is filming a very intense scene with an 'El Train' derailment into a semi on New York Street on the WB backlot. There is real fire and there are real firefighters on hand just in case something goes wrong.

It was very cool to see this scene being set up over a couple of days. It was cool to see how the all the pieces were put together for this one scene.
