View Full Version : Be a Star, a Hero, and put soaring on the screen

There is a unit shooting adventure sports in the LA Area. It is the usual
kayaking, mountaineering, rock climbing stuff, of course. They are
requesting pictures and resumes. They want these people to have strong
acting skills...say your lines without sounding like a robot or staring at
the camera or eating all the catered food.

What if there was a youngish, fit, ruggedly attractive male (sorry women.
going for a demographic, not political correctness) that we could float
before their eyes as a whole NEW set of visuals. It is a BIG outfit. It will
be BIG.

I would volunteer myself but I have NO hair, yellow teeth, red eyes, and
skin that looks like an old wallet. I also just broke a collar bone, 4 ribs,
tore a hamstring and busted my thumb. Otherwise, I am perfect!

The time is critical but if a pilot can be found, the sailplane will be
easy. I would be happy to handle the media stuff to make them notice.

Oh yeah. The guy gets paid...pretty well, too.

Once again (and this is going to be tough):

YOUNG
FIT
ATTRACTIVE
CAPABLE OF SPEAKING LIKE REGULAR PEOPLE WITH A CAMERA ON HIM.

THIS IS A VERY LONG SHOT. But those are the ones you jump up and down about
the most.

Come on. THINK.

Their definition of young, or ours?

L.A.? Garret Willat. Sean Franke. Kenny Baker. Garrett Calhoun...?
(sorry, from this distance, it all seemingly collapses into "L.A.").
Maybe it's easier to teach Vin diesel to soar or something, or is this a
hint that the Gubernator should be tapped?

Mike Westbrook. fits the bill.

Gary Boggs

I think Garret Willis is our best bet.

Don't know him. If you do, put him in touch.

He seems to have "The Right Stuff"

Which reminds me of a joke.

Do you all know what they call the semen of the astronauts???

The "White Stuff"

Ugh.

Don't worry, Gary. I was just outside with my sextant checking the sunrise.
You have only about 19 days to go before you sacrifice the goat and pull
your glider out of the trailer and regain your sanity.

We're able to soar pretty much year round up here in Hood River, I was up
for 5 hours last Saturday! Thursday is looking like a good wave day. It
makes it hard to get any work done!
