Journal woodsrunner's Journal: My Bacon Quotient
I used up about three seconds of my fame working as a stunt driver for a tv show Lady Blue http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089455/ They needed some bike racers for a scene in which Det. Katy Mahoney (Lady Blue), supposedly the female version of Dirty Harry, is having a conversation with her fat boss, played by Danny Aiello, who is busy getting a hotdog from a street vendor. She looks up and sees the bad guy and runs across the street to nab him. By the time her dumb male boss figures out what is going on and tries to follow her the traffic is heavy and he gets hit by a biker (me). Well he wasn't supposed to get hit, but they made us redo the fucking scene so many times I figured I'd throw a little excitement into the mix.
Since then, I have maybe used about another 15 seconds. I am hoping to stretch it out I guess.
Although 3 sounds like a low number, I can't think of many people who are also a 3, except for Bill Gates and neither of us are technically in the database. Even unknown Canadian actors like Patrick McKenna (who rocks) is a 2. It probably would be a fun game to try and figure out the actor with the highest BQ.
So I rank a "3" with Bill Gates, who paid Jon Heder, Napoleon Dynomite, to be in a microsoft inhouse movie with him. So in a way, it may not be cool to be a three, but at least I got paid and not the other way around.
