On December 20, I wrote about a commercial shoot I had done for the 4 propositions on the February 5 California ballot support Indian Gaming Compacts that had been negotiated by the Governor. As chance would have it, that was the 2nd commercial I had done for the Compacts. I first wrote about this last April and included a copy of the 1st commercial.
For me, there was a major difference in this commercial: I had a two-word line "Senior Citizens" about half-way through. If you watch the following carefully, you will see The Ancient One's 2-seconds of fame. It started running last Thursday and will continue ad nauseum up until the February 5 primary election.
I have even gotten a few calls and e-mails from friends and family around the state who wondered if that was me. Yes, it was. That was my last non-union gig before I got my SAG card. Now on to bigger and better things! I may yet get discovered!

Very nice Leon, it was really nice to 'hear your 2 seconds' of fame. These little jaunts are so wonderful when you actually get screened. :)
Well done my friend. :)
How nicely you did that! It makes me want to go vote in the California referendum.
It also reminded me I should post (or at least blog about) my twins' political commercial debut. They played kids stuck in traffic on the way to a family water park outing, in support of a Fairfax County (VA) supervisor. G-Twin, who fancies herself the next Hannah Montana, was devastated to discover that her role had been reduced to one second of pseudo-excited jumping up and down, while unassuming B-Twin's goggle-bedecked face was featured throughout...even the final voice-over was his: "Are we there yet? I'm getting hungry."
Thanks Eric! They have been running the commercial so much, I really wish I was getting residuals. . .but no such luck. But I have gotten phone calls and e-mails from friends around the state who have seen it.
Good to hear from you Kalynne. Is your husband now in Michigan working for the son of my former Governor?:-)
