SANCTUARY AND EA
While exhausting, the day on "Sanctuary" went great, which was pretty much a given seeing as I was doing most of my work with the ridiculously talented Don Lew. I have been suspecting for years that that little bastard is the reincarnation of Bruce Lee, and during our fight scene he did nothing to disabuse me of that notion. One of the very best in the business, for sure.
It was cool to bump into series producer/star and former Stargate SG-1 cast member Amanda Tapping as well, who is one of the nicest, friendliest people on the damn planet. In fact, the whole crew was a blast to work with and if I ever get another offer to perform on that show, I won't have to be asked twice. Top marks to the FX team for their masterful prosthetic work (their work on the gigantic John DeSantis was particularly disturbing) and to actors Byron Lawson and Robin Dunne for their well-above-average physical skills and work ethic (especially Robin, who spent the day labouring within a horribly cumbersome full-body prosthetic outfit that was essentially a mobile sauna).
Many thanks to stunt coordinator Marshall Virtue for generously sending the work my way, and best wishes for a quick recovery to stuntman Paul Wu, who suffered a severe knee injury during shooting on Wednesday.
Next week it's one final night on Sanctuary, this time on the pull team, then three days at Electronic Arts before hitting the much-anticipated Def Con 5 Talent Agency anniversary party over the weekend.
