You're starring in...

There is no way that I'm going to let this one go.
Jad heard me when I called into a radio show. She is a voice coach in Hollywood and said that I had a perfect Detroit accent. ( okay that was a little bit of a let down because I am very proud of my Chicago diction.)

Anyway the job was to teach Al Pacino how to act.

She sent me the script and made me swear that I would never tell anybody because Martin Scorsese is sue happy. So I was tight-lipped about this.

She recorded me speaking the script but she was also coaching me on the emotions behind the words. She would conjure up the scene where I was saying things angry, or frightened, or a stone cold killer. I really felt like I was acting in the movie.

Anyway I got to say the greatest Mafia line ever when the hit was put on Jimmy Hoffa.

"Hey Frank, I heard you paint houses."
 
I'd kinda like to play the role of a grizzled, washed up nior detective. Something like Bruce Willis in Sin City. Not an unstoppable action hero or suave and sophisticated ladies man; a bum and a loser who's screwed up moral compass has him doing bad things for good reasons. His life is a mess but he still has at least one good fight left in him. And he gets to do those really cool Nior voiceovers:

People aren't born here. They're forged out of broken bones and blood money. Fortunes are lost and found on a daily basis, and if you're not one of the lucky finders, you're probably dead. That's not to say there's no justice here, it's just hard to reach sometimes. Under the layers of crime and corruption that stretch between the gutter and the glamour. It was another grey autumn. The leaves were changing from go-green to caution-yellow. Soon they'd be danger-red, then dead-brown.
 
the only reason I ever worked in bars and nightclubs was because of that movie....lol
It's one of my "guilty pleasure" movies. It's in no way a cinematic masterpiece, but on a lazy Friday night its the best thing on all of streaming and cable. I've also been known to work phrases like "Pain don't hurt" and "Be nice, until its time to not be nice" into casual conversations.
 
I will pass on the acting gig and have a travel and lifestyle show like a female Anthony Bourdain. This way I can travel the world and have exotic experiences and someone else pays for it. It would be worth having to eat a few snails or drink some off-colored concoctions.
 
travel the world
There is a lady who traveled and told us about where she went. Samantha _________. I thought that she had a good gig.

This is a good travel show, both Mrs Duke and I enjoy Samantha.

Me too lol. I also love to throw in, "I don't have time to bleed and Dug in like an Alabama tick" from Predator.
