Long Day on Set as a Long Coat

*Sorry folks!  I’ve had to take down the photos due to a request by the producers.  I hope to be able to repost them after the miniseries has been aired on the Sci Fi Channel.

Sorry for neglecting with my daily posts, but I have been very busy with work. Particularly working on the show “Tin Man” where I play an evil Long Coat (bad guy soldier). We were filming waaaay out in Mission, BC (had no cell phone reception) and my call time was a very early 5:42am. Didn’t even bother sleeping since I was out with Stephen and Karen earlier in the evening at Saltlik.

Got wrapped out at 9:30pm (yup, 16 hour day) and had to drive back to Vancouver, normally takes about an hour/hour and half for the drive one way but luckily traffic was sparse and my average speed was 140 km/h so I made good time ;)

Totally exhausted from the long day but, despite a very uncomfortable costume (was hot and the metal torso armor pinched my traps and biceps), had a great time and the cast was a pleasure to work with. I was also happy to find out I was specially selected to play one (of 4) of Zero’s (main bad guy) personal guard and entourage. Ironic too that Zero is played by Callum Keith Rennie, better known as Leoben of Battlestar Galactica. Looks like I’ll be getting lots of work on this show. Gotta be up for work on Tin Man in a few hours so time to hit the sack, just wanted to give you guys an update.

Good job. It’s gotta be hard to get filmed and look alive on no sleep though.

Are you wearing a dress? ;) That is really cool and it sounds like you are having a good time with it and have a good role as well. Do you get to kick some ass in this role?

It’s a robe, not a dress or man-skirt, lol. Then I have a real metal chest/back plate, damn heavy. Then I have a jacket over it. Real leather too! They seem to have a huge budget for a 6 hour mini-series.
