I'm shocked, a man of your decorum being filmed unshaven and with
unkempt hair! (rubs behind ears and neck - I must get to the Barbers
tomorrow!). :)

A couple of months ago the hotel was approached by a film student at the
local college. He was scouting locations for his film project, and wanted
to use the hotel's restaurant for a couple of scenes. The innkeeper agreed
to let him shoot after hours, and gave me the job of taking care of the
arrangements. The film was going to be a silent comedy, the story of 2
brothers and their sibling rivalries. We set them up in one of the dining
rooms after hours, and they worked all night on the scene.
A few days later the saudent came back to the hotel and asked me if I would
take a small part in the film. One of the brothers was going to try to get
the other brother a job in the office he worked at, and I was to be the
boss. The gag was that when I meet the younger brother, we break out with a
silly handshake. The director had nothing scripted, so the younger brother
and I took 20 minutes, worked something out, and we did the scene. Took
about 3 hours of setting up, rehearsal and shooting. Screen time ended up
being maybe 30 seconds.

Is there no end to your talents? Nice one :)
PS. I have to confess I'm not a great silent movie comedy fan - but
Buster Keaton is ok
