I got robbed.
6 days of filming and they show the top of my head for half a second.
I'm way taller than Colin Farrel by the way, I'm crouching in that scene to keep Michael Mann from putting me in the back where I won't make the heroes look like the midgets they are.
Were there any deleted scenes on the dvd, I might be in some.
I didn't even realize it was out yet.

I filmed 3 days in Mansion, the club shown in the beginning of the movie. I was ALL OVER the place, so if they have more scenes in the club you might see me again.
I also filmed 3 days at the Miami Marina for a boat race scene that was completely cut from the movie, if they include that, you might see me there.

Recently watched Clerks again and then Clerks 2. My husband and son hated Clerks so they didn't watch Clerks 2 with us. My daughter and I enjoyed both.
Thank You For Smoking was better than I expected. It shows a great deal about effective debate and rhetoric.
I watched New Jack City a loooong time ago. Can't say it stayed imprinted in my brain though.
I don't know the other movies.

I was hoping someone would say this.
Every letter of this story is the gospel truth, on my mother's urn.
I first met Jamie on the Mansion set. He was a really lively guy, always making jokes and entertaining people. Totally different vibe than Colin, who seemed like a recluse and a bitter asshole. I tried talking to Jamie during a break at one point and he rolled his eyes at a production assistant who proceeded to yell at me for bothering the talent.
He didn't seem so bothered by all the female extras doting on him, but hey, that's certainly understandable.
So anyway, he left kind of a bad taste in my mouth, but I still think he's very talented and I'd be goddamned if I left without some proof of our interaction.
Fast forward about a week to the Miami Marina set.
I was paired up with a smoking Polish model with uncannily gorgeous legs to walk through a scene where drug dealers and undercover cops are discussing some business. During a break between sets another girl comes up to us to talk to the Polish girl, who had the most charming accent by the way and seemed to be quite taken by your Marquis.
The other girl said something like, "you realize that Jamie Foxx was trying to talk to you earlier right, do you know who that is, why didn't you talk to him?"
And she said "I don't care who he is, I'm Polish and he's no one in Poland."
In a sea of groupies, I was really impressed with this beacon of self respect. I would've been all over her if a fledgling R&B singer and a model hadn't promised me a threesome that night (that they never delivered on).
After that scene was finished, Jamie was sitting on a lawn chair next to his sister and a few members of the real life Haitian gang Zoe Pound, who were used in the movie.
He was signing autographs, so I decided to make my move. I walked over and asked him if he would leave my voicemail answering machine message so people would hear his voice when they got my voicemail. He said something along the lines of,
"What the hell is wrong with you, maybe if you were a girl, I ain't doing that shit for no dude."
I said, "Fuck it man, can I get a fucking autograph for my sister then?"
He agreed and I went to get something for him to sign. The only thing I could find was a cocktail napkin, so I handed it to him and sat behind him in a lawn chair while he scribbled on it.
Meanwhile, the Polish girl was walking by. Jamie yells out, "Hey legs! Come here, I want to talk to you."
She politely walks over and says, "yes?"
He motions for her to sit beside him, but she asks me if she can sit on my lap instead. I smile and agree. He looks kinda shocked for a second, but continues.
I'm recreating these conversations to the best of my ability. You don't forget something like this easily, but obviously not every word is going to be correct. Anyway it went something like this.
"Hey baby, you know you're really beautiful."
"Thanks."
"You have a lovely accent, where are you from?"
"Poland."
"Oh that's nice, how do you like it in America."
"I'm just here to make money, I miss my home."
"Well, there's a lot of money to be made here if you're smart baby, what do you do now?"
"I work at a Lexus dealership."
"You know, I just bought a Lamborghini (I saw it, it was fucking phat) but maybe I need a Lexus too, why don't you give me your card beautiful."
"I'm sorry, I don't have one with me, just go into any Lexus dealership and they should be able to help you."
She then proceeded to turn around and talk to me.
Jamie looked at me in a way that I'll never forget. It was a look I've seen many times before, but it had never been so satisfying and probably never will be again. He turned around quickly before I could enjoy it for too long, finished scribbling on my napkin and handed it to me.
I thanked him sweetly and gave him a big smile. I think he would've turned red if he wasn't so black.
Moment. Of. My. Life.
