So there’s this new movie out “thumbsucker” that’s playing, and I was paging through a copy of “Interview” and recognized the director’s face instantly. “Mike Mills”. He was the guy who directed the GAP commercials I was in back in the year 2000. So it’s really funny cause that means I actually worked with a famous director before. But it’s sad in a way because I remember so many of the kids who were in those went on to be big, and here I am and it’s like well… when am I going to get mine? The director was a nice guy though. In them we had to sing this song “You can make it if you try”(i still sing it sometimes randomly), and then they would drop thousands of balloons from the ceiling at the end. And the crew would have to pick up all the balloons and put them back up there after every single take! And we did it for like 8 hours and a bagillion takes! And then there was a second commercial where I had to dance in front of all these black ladies cause they were the ones to decide where to place people, and I was sooo nervous. So then for a whole day we had to dance to the the song “Move on Up” by Curtis Mayfield. And for some reason when I think of that song it reminds me of Ryan Philippe singing in the car in “54″, and that’s really bad, but shit like that just gets engrained in your mind and what can you do?. It was so hot and everyone was really sweaty by the end. These commercials were filmed during the SAG commercial actor strike of 2000, and they never aired. I still have my universal studios parking pass. Hollywood eats its young, but hey good for him.
