I loved those sequences. Were you doing the camera work. Seems like I remember you saying you did camera work on some movies.

I think it was titled Sylvester and may have been changed to And There Off
Darryl, "And They're Off" was a different show. I was the dailies projectionist on that one, in 1982. It was never released.

Incidentally, I did appear in that picture, but since it never saw the light of day, I didn't figure it was worth mentioning earlier.

Sylvester was released in 1985.

I've never been in a movie, but funny enough, I found someone that has. Gotta love the IMDB. Tom Procyk in a spoof of "Clerks"? Clarks 2002

I have a pretty generic name. It's not as generic as Mike Smith (that's our neon guy where I work). But I typed my name into IMDB and came up with these results:

(some snippage applied)
Names (Exact Matches) (Displaying 2 Results)
1. Robert G. Henderson (Sound Department, True Romance (1993))
aka "Bob Henderson"
aka "Robert Henderson"
aka "Robert George Henderson"
2. Bob Henderson (Art Department, "Charlie's Angels" (1976))
Names (Approx Matches) (Displaying 18 Results)
1. Rob Henderson (Special Effects, Splinter (2005/I))
2. Robert S. Henderson (Special Effects, The Rock (1996))
aka "Robert Henderson"
3. Robert Henderson-Bland (Actor, From the Manger to the Cross (1912))
4. Robert Henderson (I) (Actor, Superman (1978))
6. Robert W. Henderson (Art Director, "House, M.D." (2004)))
8. Robert Henderson (II) (Production Designer, "Baywatch" (1989))
10. Robert Henderson (III) (Actor, The Worm Eaters (1977))
11. Robert Henderson (V) (Miscellaneous Crew, Midnight Temptations 2 (1997))

A little more Googling popped up these two items:
ROBERT HENDERSON Died June 10, 2002
Mr. Henderson was given a technical achievement Oscar in 1942 for his development of lighting equipment used in the movies. He gave up his film career to work on the Manhattan Project. He worked at the Los Alamos until laboratory 1974.

One of the most remarkable ones (and maybe this should be included on IMDB) is the original James Bond, Sean Connery, credits an American fellow named Robert Henderson with convincing him to get into acting. Now that one's pretty cool.

I've not been in anything terribly exciting, but....

There is a reasonable chance that I'll be in the background in one or more crowd scenes in the upcoming chick-flick "Fever Pitch." I happened to be attending one of the Red Sox games last September when they were filming it.

Also, my name is in the credits of the restored version of the longest-running film in the world (the Colonial Williamsburg film--now shown 19 times daily in 70mm).

A couple of TV stations in Providence have videotaped me threading projectors during the RI Film Festival...no idea if any of that footage made it to air, though.

Wolff-
Tomb Raider 2? I can see why you wanted to get through the course so fast. The quicker you got it over with, the less you'd have to look at the ugly Playstation graphics and then you could turn on a great game like X-Men vs Street Fighter for the Saturn!

Also, why wasn't the letter to Gamefan listed in the pop-ups? Michael Beard should have narrated the video. I can hear it now... "Wolff King Morrow.... versuusss..... Tomb Raider 2 (each word ending on and upnote)"

Heh, well at the time my computer sucked and I only had Playstation to record from. Now though I can TV-out from my new PC and set TR2 all the way up to 1024x768 (max tv-out mode). But I do remember when PS graphics blew me away...

Oh, and Capcom versus SNK 2 is my preferred 2D fighter. My team of Blanka, Haomaru, and Ken kick noob ass. Then I'll save my victories to memory card and force you to watch the replay while I point out my superior skilz.

Had a very small part in a low-budget flick (that I doubt anyone has seen) called "Dead Giveaway."

Do TV shows count?

If so, I've been an extra in a few things, including episodes of "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" and "Profiler." Been on the news a couple of times and also in LOTS of student films.

When I worked for UA, the manager of my theater was in an episode of Seinfeld (the one where a kid hears Jerry cuss and repeats it).

I have been a extra in a few films, most notably Gettysburg, wehre I died for both sides.

Also I was a participant in the first days taping ever of the original Double Dare, when it was filmed in the PBS studios in Philadelphia. I forget if I was the first taping or the 2nd, but our day was unique because if you remember the tank? everyone after us had the flag velcroed to the side, but that first day it was on a boom over the water and you had to jump out to grab it.

Both my team and the other one from my school won that day. GO NPMS!! (That's Nether Providence Middle School)

I have no plans on being an actress by any stretch of the imagination but..

Many of you have been extra's in movies. Do you just go on the set and say "hey, put me somewhere" or do you have to audition to be an extra.
