[Edited to lower expectations]
I've been debating sharing this story for weeks and weeks (and weeks) and wasn't sure where to put it, but this seemed like as good a place as any.
If any of you live in a comcast-serviced market you may have seen a commercial in which small business owners sing the praises of comcast internet service. One of those people is a guy who owns a record store. Playing that person is me. That's not the interesting part.
I was talking to the director as we were waiting for them to light, etc, talking about music and where we were from. He says he's from North Carolina, lived (lives?) in Chapel Hill, and he says,
"Yea, I'm good friends with Mac-" and before he can even say McCaughan I totally spazz and blurt out "DO YOU KNOW JON WURSTER?
" He says he does and then I start foaming at the mouth and talking about the best show and does he know Tom (he does) etc. Then he says, "You know, it's funny, I actually wanted Jon to do the part you're doing in this, but it didn't work out."
So the point of the story is if you see this commercial, now you know that it was almost JW doing that part, but you can at least take comfort in the fact that an FOT filled the slot.
