Or for some people, 15 seconds of fame
So I was reading one of MMFs odd threads and decided to start one myself. So what are everybody's 15 minutes of fame? Is it being interviewed on Global? Contestant on Kid Street? Or something bigger like starring in a movie?
What is your claim to fame? I guess I'll start. I've had my picture on page 2 of the Calgary Sun decked out in my Flames gear accompanied by an article about the green hard hat.
I was on Much on Demand when I was in TO. You can see me in the background wearing my "Hangin' in the Dome, Chillin' with Jarome" shirt flexing my "muscles". I didn't know the show was actually live. I had a phone call from a buddy I haven't talked to in months during commercial break. He asked me where I was. I told him I was at MOD, and he was like "I knew I saw you on TV!!"
I attended a taping of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. They had a skit where they chose people from the audience. I wasn't chosen but you could see me clear as day since the guy in front of me and the guy behind me got picked. Oh, and I shook Jay's hand
I was in an article in the Calgary Sun about youth gambling. No pic this time, but half the article was about me
And finally, I was an extra in the Hiedi Fleiss movie "Call Me". There is a scene of my arm, the back of my head, and you can see me in the background of another scene. But my favourite is when the director went to the group of extras to pick one out of 25 people for a solo scene. I got to hand a cell phone to a rocker. The scene was about seven seconds. Although it was not a speaking role, they dubbed some old man's voice saying to the rocker "Its for you".
I'm sure we're going to get a wide range from absolutely no 15 minutes of fame, to something huge like a lead role in a Brad Pitt movie
