Hello Roboheads:

Has anybody seen the new Harrison Ford movie "Firewall" http://firewallmovie.warnerbros.com/? Looks like it comes out in a few days - maybe it is impossible to have seen it yet.

There are supposed to be a couple of Toddler robots which we provided to them for this movie.

    Jon gets his latter this year in "The Night of the White Pants".· I don't know the release date yet, the movie is in "post production".

    So you weren't just "happy to be there" (I know...very bad, but I just couldn't help myself...)

    I was thrilled, and at the same time wanted to keep my friends at Parallax close to me. The management and my colleagues at Parallax have been very supportive of my acting aspirations and I am sincerely appreciate of that. And now that I'm in "Hollywood" (okay, Burbank -- but right up the street from Warner Brothers studio) I expect there will be more opportunities for my friends to see me in movies and on TV.

    On another note, now that I'm here I've been calling of special FX shops and showing them how some Parallax products can help them with what they do. It's fun to be able to work both sides of the camera.

    I did not get that part -- they brought in another [noparse][[/noparse]very good] actor from LA (chubbier, more good-ol'-boy than me -- because of my look I went for "slick" southern lawyer). Funny, now that I'm in LA my agent is working with a casting director in Austin hoping (since she knows me from Texas) she might let me put myself on tape for a project she's involved in now. That will be ironic: move to LA just to go back to Texas for an acting job....

    It is true that Jon is a 'body double' for Harrison Ford?· After all, he is 63 years old.

    No, I have not doubled Harrison Ford; I did double JFK for a couple shows on Discovery Channel and one for Japanese TV.

    I can hardly recognize it is you. Still you have something of the same pensive quality of Harrison Ford in your Parallax photo. Never made it into movies by studied architecture along side Sidney Luft's son. He seemed to be related to 50% of Hollywood.

    I should have been more clear: the BASIC Stamp was in my jacket pocket near my heart.
