Finally.... A TRUE New York Actor

It's finally happened! I shot my first episode of Law and Order! For years it seemed to me that I was the only New York actor that hadn't appeared in an episode of Law and Order. I mean, it's been on TV for over 17 years now! Many of my friends have had that credit on their resumes for years. I was beginning to feel like a loser! But miraculously, I received a call last Thursday to tape an episode on Friday and Tomorrow and my schedule happened to be free! Granted, it's just background extra work, but hey... work is work. My first day of taping was grueling... not for the hard work in front of the camera, but for the 8 hours of sitting around and waiting! I got there at 12 Noon and didn't start filming until 8:30 PM! We taped for about 2 hours and then it was a wrap for the day. Usually extra work can be rather boring... you're just filling in the scene. But for this scene, it involved a little bit of excitement for us. I'm not going to spoil the ending, but the episode is called "Called Home" and involves a Dr. Kevorkian type doctor at the witness stand. It's a "Killer" of a scene!
