-Several Months ago I was contacted by Charity Buckbee from DIRTY SWEATER PRODUCTIONS asking if I wanted to play the role of the lead rustler Rico in her new short film (or was that a music video initially?) “Rustler’s Promenade.” She really wanted me for the role and while there was some hurdles to overcome to getting me to do it, we managed to overcome there and I found myself in the Albany area at 8:00 AM on Saturday October 23, 2021. It’s been awhile since I’ve done some traveling outside of Syracuse for filming so the first thing that hit me was, while getting onto the thruway, was that all the toll booths were gone. It was really strange…

-I didn’t have to do any acting till after lunch so I just settled back and hung out. Talked with some familiar faces, as well as some new ones. Very impressed with the costuming and production on this set. Food was good too. I think I was on the road overall longer than I was filming (HA!). It was a lot of fun and I had a great time. Currently, I can’t do much filming for several reasons, but hopefully I will be able to do more with acting, as well as other creative pursuits, in the future. By the way, contrary to the pic, none of the cigars I had were lit so no smoking for me 🙂 Thanks to all the cast / crew for this for making things very easy to do plus extra thanks to Charity and Kyle Kleege for having me onboard. It’s most appreciated. Be on the lookout for this as well as “The Messy Boys” where I make a surprise cameo; betcha won’t be able to see me in it – but I’m there! 🙂
