About thirty
of us were called to work not knowing what to expect. We were told to bring a red & white outfit. We were
dressed & any part of are body that was not covered in clothing was painted. We shot at an indoor golfing range
& with special effects made up the Canadian flag.

I played a
POD person for most of the first season. I was experiment gone wrong in a laboratory of an evil scientist. I was
basically a prop, whenever they filmed a scene on that set I was called out. I had to lie in a coffin like structure
which when lit felt much like a tanning bed, every once & a while they would ask me to twitch. One time I got so
comfortable I fell asleep. I thought I would get fired but the director loved the shoot & we moved on. To
keep my contract I had to refrain from tanning & keep completely hair free from the waist up.

I played a
solider being briefed by actor Tom Skerritt. I was armed with an empty but very real machine gun. Shortly after
they cut one scene the gun wrangler came running over & started fiddling with my gun. Afterwards I asked what was
wrong he told me that I had it on fully automatic when it should have been on safety.

I was lucky
enough to play a town citizen in this movie. Continuity gigs are the best it means good money coming in on a regular
basis. It was a great chance to form relationships with both the cast & crew of this film. The bad part was
that this movie was filmed in the middle of winter. The town of Niagara On The Lake was used to shoot the exteriors & most of the interiors where shot
in Toronto. Needless to say I spent a lot of time outside.
In the picture above they used potato flakes to make snow as real snow did not show up well on film. When the weather
was warmer & we had to run around the real snow would mix the potato flakes & are feet helped stir it into the biggest
batch of mashed potatoes I have ever seen.
