Well, it’s January 8th, and I’ve already
completed my New Year’s Resolution: Appear in a car commercial. I honestly don’t
know what else I can accomplish this year. Exercise? Passé. Learn the piano?
There’s only one Elton John/Billie Joel/Chris Martin/Piano Guys/Dude that
played piano for 1990’s band The Origin. What would be the point? No, I’ll just
be content with my colossal acting career.
The back story: This is a commercial for Hinckley
Automotive. Our writer/director friend Daryn asked us to be in it, and it was a
truly entertaining experience. Loved it.
This commercial really belongs to our new friend, Trenton.
But I like to think Katie and I brought something to the table. For example,
Katie's expression when Trenton turns and asks how he can help her? Oh, man. She’s
a genius.
As for me? I have one line. Barely. That’s me saying, “Hi.
How can I help y--?” and then I get punched out. That may look like nothing.
But do you know how many times I had to take a fall? Like, one bajillion times.
(Or maybe it was just 20.)
It was a fun-filled afternoon of filming. And they brought
in lunch from Panda Express. You guys, it was totally awesome. And I’m proud of my
friend, Daryn.
