Your brushes with fame.....
It's neat hearing stories about how people became almost famous, or had brushes with celebrities....
The closest I came was being one of the last few kids considered to play baby Clark Kent in 1978 Superman. It went to Calgarian Aaron Smolinski. I don't recall any of it as I was 3 at the time, but at least I could have claimed I had a full frontal nude scene in a Hollywood blockbuster. This is all according to my mother.
I was an extra soldier in the film Legends of the Fall. I actually got a really awesome death scene and was supposed to dive on the ground next to a 'mortar' but over did it, stubbed my rifle in the ground, bagged myself with it, while busting the plastic bayonette off. I was writhing in sack pain ruining the entire scene. It made the director mad and I got sent way to the back as and had to be a medic. During a break, I said "Hey." to Brad Pitt. He said "Hey." back.
