Crocodile Dundee II

June 19th, 2011 · No Comments

How did I ever end up in a movie? I don’t even watch movies.

However — I was appearing, yet again, in Bill Irwin’s show The Regard of Flight, and casting agents noticed me. I auditioned for a movie called Three Men and a Baby (as one of the three men, not as the baby). I didn’t get that part, but was eventually assigned a small part in Crocodile Dundee II. I emerged from a toilet stall during a tense moment, retreated, and then emerged again to say “He’s gone.”

I have no idea if the movie was nice, since I never got around to watching it.

The curious thing is that friends and family (especially family) saw the fact that I delivered one line in a movie as much more important and interesting than anything else I did. For me, it was just a lark, a chance to earn a few bucks. My fellow citizens often mystify me.
