UGH...
I just awoke from a semi-comatose state after a fourteen-hour stretch on the wire team of the Ben Stiller movie "A Night at the Museum 2". NATM has quite a sizable budget and a large crew of performers, so I got to work with a lot of people whom I had not seen since before my surgery in 2007.
During the past month I've been lucky enough to be picking up a little work here and a little work there, but this job made me feel like I was officially back in the game, and it felt pretty damn good. One of the wire gags required me to jump off a ladder a couple of dozen times from about six feet up, and although my knee is aching a little it held up beautifully under the strain. Many thanks go out to Dr. Thomas Lu of Richmond, BC for his masterful work, as well as to Colin Decker, Dean Choe, JJ Makaro, Dustin Brooks, Darryl Quon and anybody else who had a hand in my being brought in yesterday.
I also bagged a couple of stunt days for next week on the same show, playing a member of Attila the Hun's army, so for now, the streak continues!
