I wrote in my local newspaper for a while, and even made the front page of an other. (long time ago in a small town but it's something)
What role did you have in that movie, Lemurmania? That is awesome!
"And one should bear in mind that there is nothing more difficult to execute, nor more dubious of success, nor more dangerous to administer than to introduce a new order to things; for he who introduces it has all those who profit from the old order as his enemies; and he has only lukewarm allies in all those who might profit from the new. This lukewarmness partly stems from fear of their adversaries, who have the law on their side, and partly from the skepticism of men, who do not truly believe in new things unless they have personal experience in them."
~ Niccolo Machiavelli
Makkyo, uh, I was officially billed as "Guy With Coke Can." Now that's the star treatment, baby. Um, I was the guy soliciting money for Ferris. His sister runs into me, gets angry, and then kicks my can. I yell after her.
And that's it. Not a whole lot to get excited about. There are only two cool things that came out of it:
(1) I was called on the wrong day for costuming, so I was in when the main actors were being dressed. Matthew Broderick mistook me for the guy playing the other lead and walked over, saying, "Hi, I'm Matthew, I play Ferris." To which I said, "Hi, I'm Brendan, I play Guy With Coke Can." He frowned, turned, and marched away. I had a good laugh. What, didn't he recognize the inherent power and glory of Guy With Coke Can?
(2) The director started letting me make up my own lines after about twenty takes. (Jennifer Grey couldn't hit her mark, so we did take ... and take ... and take ... and take ...) Some of my made-up dialogue actually made it into the film, which was nice.
And that's it. I have no more Ferris trivia. I did one day's work and got one day's pay.
I've been writing in our regional newspapers for eight years now. I once posted a fictitious interview with our provincial premiere. Oh boy did it hit the fan. (Mind you, when you write that the premiere spends Christmas morning watching Triumph Of The Will with his family, some people get upset.)
Another regional newspaper printed a half page article about me, calling me a terrorist and all sorts of dirty nasty things. Obviously I pushed a button that people didn't want pushed.
I've had a few mentions on CBC radio (they called me "salty" and a "loose cannon") and in the Montreal Gazette.
I love every minute of it.
