Archie ArchieGoodbye Moonmen
WWZ wrapped last night. The director made a moving speech and I managed to shake his hand, then regretted it almost immediately when I remembered he had directed Quantum of Solace.

Regardless, I had an insane amount of fun working on this, and I can't wait to see the finished product. Getting more working days and more money than I expected was nice too, as well as finding footage on youtube of me pushing Brad Pitt.

Now begins the oddly compelling task of finding myself in press photos...

He's getting his on-screen family out of the crashed silver volvo on the right. I come from the top of frame at around 00:05, then I push past him at 00:09.
This was one of the wide-shots. In the close-up takes, my starting position was about a foot behind him, and my action was actually shouldering past him.

Also quite interesting: every 14-hour day of filming was equivalent to about 20 seconds of actual edited movie.

I can't wait to see this film. I'm eager to see why Archie is running like a hero while the rest of the people seem to be scared as shit :)).

So will you be in the credits Archie or is your role not that notable?

I could see you in there as "Guy that pushes Brad Pitt".

"he had directed Quantum of Solace."

I'm watching this JUST because of Archie.

I won't be in the credits. I'm just a featured extra, which is only a marginal step up from a regular extra.
Don't really care about that, though. The thrill of being in it at all is enough :).

Oh, and this is what we did when we weren't filming WWZ:

Edit:
Turns out I probably will be in the credits, actually, but definitely not under "cast".
I'll be in one of the massive walls of text towards the end :P

To be fair to Foster, Quantum of Solace was reasonably well directed. The scriptwriters are the ones who pooched it. But I say reasonably because of those shaky cam fight scenes.

I laughed at the guy in front of Archie in the second shot. Priceless expression.

Here we are in TWHL, witnessing Archie's rise to stardom. We can say we knew him from the beginning.

I know the pediatrician for Brad Pitt's kids. She's such a loser.
