    I was an extra in a deleted scene of narcos season 2, filmed in bogota but depicted to be a Dunkin’ Donuts in Miami

    We were arresting Wayne Knight (Newman from Seinfeld) who was playing a lawyer for a narco

    I didn’t know which episode it was going to be on, so when the season came out I fastforwarded through the whole season scene by scene looking for the scene but never found it lmao. I was so disappointed lol, I told all my friends I was gonna be on Netflix lmao

    I did accidentally look into the camera once, and we were four lousy looking fbi agents lol. Still got paid tho


    Edit: my souvenir is a pair of socks they made me wear to not show any brands.

    Yah it was back in the 90’s. My dad invited me to dinner for him before he gave a lecture at Civic Auditorium or Kellar Auditorium or whatever it was called back then. He seemed like a nice person although it was odd hearing him talk through his voice synthesizer.

    I once was a co-worker with someone who either knew @KingSpeed , or was from the same town and knew of him.

    This was like 15 years ago, and to be honest I have no idea what her name was anymore or if it was her married name or not.

    I want to say Sayler? Salyer?

    Probably would be in her mid to late 40s now.

    I've spoke to Jackie Chan on the phone three times while I was in the fan club back in the mid-late 90s, and met him once briefly at a book signing. I got Ellen Degeneres' autograph outside of the Schnitzer after a show in the early 90's. When visiting New York in 2000 I saw J-Lo and Puff Daddy at the Virgin record store in Times Square, and saw Erykah Badu outside of a hip hop show in Brooklyn. My friend chatted with her and she was really nice.

    Just met Rex Chapman at the LA airport on our way to Phoenix. Chatted for a bit. Good dude. He said he was impressed I recognized him. I don’t think a hoop junkie who is my age wouldn’t know who he was. Unless it’s like people on here who only watch the Blazers. Was rocking a Wrexham FC jersey too!

    They were definitely the most entertaining. I think those mid 70s teams were great weren’t they.

    Dan Majerle..Shawn Marion...Barbosa...Barkley...Kevin Johnson...Tom Chambers...Steve Nash...there were some greats in the Chapman era.....Maurice Lucas and Danny Ainge played there before I paid much attention to them back in the day. Rex Chapman was sort of a JJ Redick or Jamal Crawford or Peja Stoyakovic type sharpshooter.

    Not quite a brush but the father of a lawyer who represented me in a discrimination suit officiated at Maurice Lucas' wedding.
