http://www.deadline.com/2011/08/cinemaxs-transporter-showrunners-exit/ Well, hmmm. Didn't realize we'd be dropping an official press release this quickly. I just assumed, one month from now, I'd start posting pics of Akemi and me back in Vancouver enjoying dinner at Refuel and have you connect the dots. Guess this means I'm going to have to put that blog entry of…
August 15, 2011: Bento Breakfast Binder-Style! Co-workers! A Familiar Guest Star! The Maximus Update!
Akemi occasionally sends me off to work with some pretty amazing breakfasts - tasty and artistically elaborate bento creations that are, apparently, all the rage back in Japan. I've posted pics of these edible masterpieces in recent months... Well, not to be outdone, Carl's wife, Karen, sent him off with his own bento box creation…
August 12, 2011: Work! A surprise guest! And more Maximus!
Despite the fact that I was only on set three days this week, I'm more exhausted today than I have been all year. Yep, one of those weeks. Expect to have a lot more of these between now and the end of November... Today, we were paid a visit by surprise guest... A usually voracious…
August 10, 2011: Back on set!
Back on set today - even though my episode (#102 - 12 Hours) wrapped two days ago. I've been standing in for Paul who has been busy prepping episodes #104-105 (The Switch and Harvest), overseeing the final two outstanding days on the pilot. Yes, it's true! So much awesomeness it couldn't be contained in one…
August 9, 2011: Snow Monkeys Return! Back on Set!
Even though I'm on the other side of the country, my Snow Monkeys will be making another bid for Fantasy Football supremacy. This season, they square off against the likes of The New Old Spice Guys, Van Isle Vultures, I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, and Ivon Bartok's The Running Dead (among others). The League,…
August 3, 2011: Transporter – Episode #2 – 12 Hours – Day 5!
Although we started an hour later this morning, I had to add an hour to my travel time so it was a wash: no extra sleep for me. 5:20 a.m. wake-up, walk the dogs, wash up, then out the door at 6:30 a.m. By the time I rolled into The Devil's Punch Bowl at Stoney…
August 2, 2011: The Transporter – Episode #2 – 12 Hours – Day #4! Thanks from me and Maximus!
Back at it again today, this time in Stouffville for a visit to Geneva and a very unique home plus a healthy dose of action compliments of Fight Choreographer Cyril Raffaelli (pictured above, calling YOU out). The day was a scorcher! It was a hot, long day and, as a thank you to my terrific…
July 29, 2011: The Transporter – Episode #2 – 12 Hours – Day #3!
We were back at TIFF today for the third day of production on episode #102: 12 Hours. The usual cast of characters were in attendance... Eventually, we head down to the parking garage for the final sequence of the night... The weekend is upon us and, finally, I can relax. Just as soon as I…
July 28, 2011: The Transporter – Episode #2 – 12 Hours – Day Two!
Let's kick off today's entry with a (sort of) pic of Tara Yelland - actress, entertainer, stupendous stand-in, and princess (For real!)... We started the morning with the reception area so that we could shoot out Francois Berleand who heads back to France today. Another great Tarconi scene. Apparently, before leaving, Francois let it be…
