Stargate Universe "Visitation" - Part Two

Let's see, where did I left off? Oh yes, I was running away from the actors, ha!! Ha!!

August, 19th, 2010 was the day the famous Herbert Summerfeld joined us on set, what a treat! Herbert is an extremely nice guy, a real professional, always a gentleman, and according to the girls, he is not too bad to look at either.

While we were sitting around the tent talking about B.A.G., I mentioned that lots of people on Gateworld were asking about my real name. At that time I was not on Gateworld, because I was still trying to get a grip on the whole B.A.G. thing. Herbert said he was on Gateworld and he would be happy to announce my real name to the world. I was apprehensive at first, but gave into all the positive comments from all the background performers in the peanut gallery. Therefore, I have to credit my emergence on Gateworld to Herbert Summerfeld, my friend and the best dam background performer/actor in the world. Thanks Herb, from your humble servant!!!!!!

Don't all actors just hate editing sometimes? Most of the time, editing just means cutting out scenes, or in my case, my scenes!!!! I bet anyone $20.00 that it is possible to make two more episodes from the film that is on the editing room floor, any takers?

There was one whole scene that was cut from "Visitation", and dammit, Dr. Lisa Park was holding my hand. The scene was in the infirmary, where we the "Faith survivors" were all being cared for before we hit the body BAGs. Ha!! Ha!! Sorry, I just had to slipped that one in, I am bad.

There were lots of cast and background running around trying to help us, but there were nothing they can do except to make us as comfortable as possible. Some were under sheets dead already, some dying on their beds, and I was the only one still sitting on the side of my bed with a blanket over my shoulders. I was shaking like a tree, holding the blanket close to my chest, and trying to look miserable. Dr. Lisa Park came over and took my temperature, while Lt. Tamara Johansen whispered to Colonel Young that there is nothing more she can do for us.

I am sorry, but I have to stop writing for now. I just found out that SGU got axed!! There are no words to describe my feelings at this moment, so I will continue in Part Three.

Stargate Universe "Visitation" - Part One

Wow, the wait is over and like a penned up fart, I can finally let the big one go. I can finally talk about "Visitation"!!!

Tuesday, November, 23rd, 2010, Stargate Universe - "Visitation", the most anticipated episode in the world was aired on Syfy. O.k., maybe the world did not hold their breath waiting, but most SF fans were on the edge of their seats waiting. Well, maybe not most SF fans, but just some crazy, diehard Stargate fans and B.A.G. fans were, ha!! Ha!!

Ever since August, 12th, 2010, I have been dying to talk about my appearance and my questionable demise on "Visitation". Now, I can without restrain, and just let it rip!!

I was asked to be on "Visitation" back in late July, 2010, and was told filming will begin early August. Information were vague, 4 to 5 days, in the studio and maybe one day back on location. Obviously, I said yes, because I would be on my favorite show and why would I turn down 5 days of work. It was late July that I found out the dates were on August 12th, 13th, 16th, 19th and 21st, which didn't sit very well with me. I've told my agent a long time ago that I won't be in town from the 21st of August for five days, so what to do? I was told they still want me and they are going to decide what to do depends how the shooting goes.

Well, August 12th onward were like a dream to me, because after finding out about B.A.G., I was on cloud nine. All the background performers were talking to me about B.A.G. and making all these funny B.A.G. jokes.  I can't stop smiling and didn't know how to deal with people when they came up to talk to me.

We were having lunch and when I was walking behind the actor's table, Patrick Gilmore turned around and talked to me.

He said "Hi, I am sorry, what's your name?"
I said "Bill", while we shook hands.
He then asked me "Do you know you have lots of fans?"
I answered "These fans are so funny, I am just having a lot of fun with it."
Alaina Huffman, Ming Na, and David Blue all laughed and Mr. Gilmore said "That is great, good luck to you." I replied "Thank you!", and left quickly, because I am sure my face was red, and I just don't know how to react to people paying attention to me.

Here ends Part One, because I have to go to bed, so until Part Two!!!

International BAG Week

Hello, I am back!!! I have been very busy, so cut me some slack!!

Just to share with everybody, the view counter for the "Save Balding Asian Guy" thread on Gateworld has passed 41,000 viewed, yippee!!!! There are 84 pages and 1,672 replies about little old me, how about that for being just an extra?

This week, B.A.G. will make his return appearance on "Stargate Universe" in episode 9, "Visitation". Please tune in on "Syfy", Tues. Nov. 23rd if you are in the U.S., or on "Space" , Fri. Nov. 26th if you are in Canada.

Mattsilver on the thread "Save Balding Asian Guy" has declare this week "International BAG Week"!! So please spread the word and join Mattsilver and I for "IBW", and for the love of god, watch "Stargate Universe" every week, especially this week. "SGU" and BAG need all the support that we can get, so tune in and watch the best show on TV right now.

For "International BAG Week", I had 50 baseball caps made, so they are very limited. If anybody is interested, let me know on this Blog or on Gateworld, and I will tell you more about it.

I also got my new handmade leather BAG of Wonder, so to celebrate, I made a short presentation for the occasion. I spend the last two days making it, so enjoy!!

On the road with B.A.G. - part one

B.A.G. reporting from Seattle Washington! I am here at the "Best of the Northwest Art Show" checking out some of the best arts and crafts that northwest United States has to offer. Over 200 exceptional artists presenting jewelry, designer clothing, painting, metal, glass and look at what we have here, wine tasting from 25 local boutique wineries. Wow, forget about the arts and crafts, let me at the wine tasting, ha!! Ha!!

I never understood wine tasting, because tasting and drinking are the same to me. I was at a wine tasting once with three of my friends and it turned out to be a party. Two of my buddies were really concentrating on the information and the techniques given by the host, but my friend Keith and I had different ideas. I am not going to go into details about how to taste wine, but I can tell you that Keith and I didn't sip. Each of us had eight glasses of wine and we were supposed to sip wine, sip water, and sip the next glass of wine. Keith and I didn't like wasting the wine, so we (slowly) downed the wine in sequence, and then proceed to down what was left over by our buddies. Keith and I both had 16 glasses of wine each and we didn't waste one drop of wine, ha!! Ha!! The glasses were not full, but we sure had a really good night. We didn't drive, because we all walked back to our hotel, or in our case, Keith and I kind of crawled.

All I am going to say about wine is, nobody can tell you how a wine is suppose to taste, because taste is very subjective. I might like the taste of glass number one, but you might think it is too fruity, so is glass number one good or bad? There is no right or wrong, or good or bad, because everybody have different taste. My conclusion, if it taste good to you, drink it!!

Sorry about the side track, let's get back to the show. The first thing I liked was being inside, thank god!! Most shows that I have been to are outside, so a show inside a warm dry building gets a gold star from me already. Without lengthy description of all 200 plus artist's works, I am happy to say that I will be back next year. I enjoyed every second of the show and these artists are so talented!!

One side note, although I enjoyed and appreciated what I saw, I don't understand who the hell would buy some of these stuff. I guess art is just like wine, very subjective!! I can tell, all these artists are very talented and they really love their work, but passion do not put money on the table. Why would I buy a painting that looks like what my six years old can draw? Why would I buy a ring that looks like an ugly piece of rock? Oh, it is a piece of ugly rock!! I guess that is why there are so many starving artists in the world. Yes, it is amazing what all of these artists can do, but some art sales and some just looks artistic.

Some of you might ask, where are the pictures? Well, I forgot the stupid camera, what can I say? I need a spanking, that is what I need, ha!! Ha!! Sorry, no pictures!! You people just have to go next year and check it out yourself.

Here ends part one of my excursion to the big land across the border, see you next time.

                                 My daughter, the artist!!!!             

Lazy, but not Dead!

Let's see what kind of excuses can I come up with for not posting for the past five days? The dog ate my draft. That's no good, I don't have a dog. Daylight savings screwed up my posting schedule. That's no good neither, it is only one hour. I worked on "Life Unexpected", ah no, that is only one day!!

I had BAGminton Sat. night, went to my cousin's birthday party Sun. night, BAGminton on Tues. night, drove my daughter to public speaking, Math tutorial, picked up my daughter from school everyday, Saxophone lesson, Japanese lesson, got my haircut, went to the gym twice, went to the bank 3 times, picked up my pay checks, lunch with one of my favorite fans "Krisz" from "GateWorld", wrote on Facebook, wrote on GateWorld, reply to e-mails, cut my toenails and fingernails, watched some TV, dinner with family, and I slept.

No, none of my excuses are valid, so my conclusion is, I am just too dam LAZY!! If I really wanted to write, I would have found the time. I will try harder next time, and I would like to thank my sibling for kicking me in the butt for not posting for five days. It is so refreshing to be told that I should take my fingers out of my nose and start posting by my sibling, because words of love are so much stronger than a kick to the nuts.

I had a really good Monday on "Life Unexpected", and the show even used my car, yippee!! Hey, they paid me $35, better than nothing!! I was outside all day, and it was so sunny that at one point, I was sweating. I have to thank my weather shaman "Krisz" from GateWorld for doing her magic, because without her diverting the rain and hail to Maple Ridge, I would have been wet and cold.

I actually had lunch with Krisz on Tues. and I was so happy to finally meet her. We talked about shows that we liked, about StarCon in June, and we just had a fantastic time. I took her to a Chinese restaurant, hopefully she liked it, because if she didn't, she sure ate a lot, ha!! Ha!! She was a good sport, she ate everything I put in front of her, and she even had a doggie bag after the meal!! I like a woman that is not afraid of trying something new, maybe that is why she like "Stargate Universe". I look forward to having lunch with her next time, and it will be Vietnamese food, ha!! Ha!! Thanks Krisz, for having lunch with me, until next time!!

                           Don't I look good on Andromeda?

Standing room only!!!!!!!!!!!

So far, Tuesday on "Hiccups", was the shortest gig I ever worked on in my movie business life.  Two hours and forty-five minutes!! I started at eleven and I finished at one forty-five, thank god I got paid for eight hours. Most of the time was traveling and waiting around,all in all, I think I worked on set for about 10 minutes!! There were six background performers and the scene was so short, they didn't even have time to set up the crafty table. The two actors got out of the van, sat beside us on fold out chairs for five minutes, on set for half an hour, and we were done, ha!! Ha!! I was supposed to be a laundromat owner, but the laundromat was so small, there wasn't any room for both the actors and me. Therefore, between the actors or me being in the laundromat, guess who got kicked out onto the street? I knew I shouldn't have wore my red underwear on Tuesday!! Dam you "RED UNDIES", I should have gone commando!!!

I saw Brent Butt, but I was too professional to talk to him while I was working, so I didn't get the chance to let him know I am a Butt too. We could be related!! Hey, who knows, back then, our ancestors might have been tight, really tight.

It was lunch when the six of us were wrapped, and I think it was my "RED UNDIES" fault again, we were not fed!! How much money does it cost to feed six background performers? I bet the left overs after everybody else ate would be more than enough to feed the six of us, but the decision was to let us go. Oh well, too bad, so sad!!

Short day, what am I suppose to do with myself? I went home and ate instant noodle, and that is the life of a poor background performer. I was being a lazy bum, so after my healthy lunch, I sat and watched two DVD that I received from my mom. Once in a while, my mom sends me a care package from Hong Kong, and this time there were DVDs.

"Kung-Fu Master" is the story of a Shaolin Monk's revenge after the burning of the Shaolin Temple. I think they missed burning the "Kung-Fu Master" DVD when they burned Shaolin Temple to the ground. There was no story, just action for 95 minutes!! I love action, but the action was not very good at all!! The dialogue was so bad, it was better when I turned the mute on. I give "Kung-Fu Master" a big fat 2 BAGs out of 10, because the cast and stunt men deserve 2 BAGs for all the stunts they did.

"Ong Bak 3" is the final chapter of the character Tien's life, and his final duel with his arch rival. Boring!!! Long boring stretches with periods of senseless fighting!!! I don't have anything to say, because it was just bad!! I give "Ong Bak 3", 2 BAGs out of 10, because the elephants deserve 2 BAGs for all their hard work.

These two DVDs should be burn after watching!! I have two more DVDs to watch, and I am kind of nervous about wasting another four hours of my life. Oh well, these movies will only make me appreciate good movies so much more, so bring it on!!


After watching these DVDs, I have to workout my frustration with my Muay Thai instructor!!!


   

Halloween 2010

I remember when I was 11 years old living in Richmond, B.C., attending William Bridge Elementary School. I know it was a long time ago, but I do remember somethings in my old age.

It was Halloween night, I was thin like a Popsicle stick, walking door to door, getting free candies from total strangers. I do not remember being cold, but I remember holding hands with my brother and my sister, saying the secret pass word for free candies, "Trick or Treat!!!". Looking behind me and feeling safe and secure with my grandparents keeping a watch on us.

Pretty much fresh off the boat, "Halloween" is completely new to us, but the lure of candies, and dressing up as a fairy was better than sitting at home watching TV. My English was pretty bad, so I did not understand what was on TV anyways. Oh, dressing up as a fairy was my sister, not me!! Not, there is anything wrong with that, ha!! Ha!!

The streets were alive with kids in costumes, and parents were herding their kids from one house to another. There was an atmosphere of family, excitement, joy and fun in the air.

At the end of the night, my BAG was so full, that I needed help to carry it all back home. My only decision when I got home, was which candies do I want to eat and which ones should I trade with my friends.

My grandparents are gone now, so I just like to give them a shout for old time sake, "Stop hiding my candies, I know how many were in my BAG!!". Obviously, I said it in Chinese, because my grandparents don't speak English very well, nor do I at that time. Their English got better over the years, and eventually their Chinglish got pretty good. Hey, I am Chinese, so I can make fun of my own race and my grandparents!! Ha!! Ha!! I love them and I miss them very much!!

Now, let's press the forward button to Halloween 2010!!

Five groups of kids rang my doorbell, FIVE!!!! Either people are not having kids or my house is just too dam scary. I guess back in my day, there is nothing better to do on Halloween except watching TV, so everybody was out in the neighborhood Trick or Treating.

Nowadays, Halloween's competition is much stiffer!! Hundreds of TV channels, Pay TV, Nintendo, PS3, Xbox, Iphone, computers, Facebook, Twitter, Trick or Treating in malls, and much, much more that I can't even imagine.

Back then, I do not remember my parents worrying about, child molesters, candy safety, neighborhood safety, the cold weather, and most of all, other kids. The only thing we worried about was cavities!!!

These days, kids are so precious, that Trick or Treating in a mall is the safest place to be. Now, the costumes are more important than the spirit of Halloween!! People are paying big bucks for costumes and going to parties to show off their costumes are the main focus these days.

 Far less people are venturing out into the cold, dark streets, therefore, sooner or later, we will all stay in and virtual Trick or Treat each other!!

 I am in costumes most of the time, so just about everyday is Halloween to me!!



 Last week, I worked two long nights on "This Means War" and it was great!! Well, it was great, because I saw some eye popping stunts, not great, because I didn't get to see Tom Hardy, Chris Pine or Reese Witherspoon.

I was working on 2nd unit and it was all stunts, exploding cars, car stunts, stunt man hitting a car, and base jumping off a building!! Wow, now I know why stunt man gets pay so much!!

The first night was cold, so thank god for my long johns and thermal underwear. Second night was not as cold, and most of the time, I was playing cards, ha!! Ha!! Some of the stunts don't need background performers, because we are too important to be hit by cars, ha!! Ha!!

Had a great time, but I hope I will have a chance to see the main actors up close when I work next.

 Here are some actors up close!!

 



         

Psych - edelic

I worked on "Psych" this past Mon., and thank god it is over!! It was a good long day, but the weather was miserable!! Started at 6AM and finished around 9PM, and it was raining the whole time. I had my long johns on, and 2 pairs of socks under my layers of clothing, but both my socks were soaked through, because it was so wet. My long johns  and my jeans were both soaked up to my knees, and my jacket was completely soaked too. Thank god, they let us used our umbrellas, or I would be sick again!! For the whole day I turned on the BAG power full blast to ward off the Cold and Wet monstrosity, and B.A.G. was at peace with the warmth within our body. Too bad, BILL is freezing his BUTT off and wet like a drowning duck, ha!! Ha!! Enough about my bodily suffering, because my spirit was bright and cheerful, and I am happy to be healthy and alive.

Onto something more cheerful!! One bright spot on "Psych" was seeing and working with my friend Leo Li Chiang!! All die hard fans should know him as the tattooed pilot on "Battlestar Galactica"!! We caught up on old times and he gave me advice on being the best B.A.G. ever, ha!! Ha!! I like to thank him for keeping me awake during those long hours on set and blocking most of the rain with his gigantic body.   

When we were in the tent, Leo sat on my right hand side and the lovely Michele, who I have known for years sat on my left. Michele is one of my best friend that I've met on set, and we had worked on "Dead Like Me", both "Fantastic 4" movies, and a whole lot more. Michele also kept me happy and warm, so I like to send her a big hug from B.A.G.!!!

BAGlellujah!!! I will be working on "This Means War" for the next three nights, it is going to be cold, but B.A.G. will be ready!! Mostly Asian in the scene, so I will see lots of my friends, yippee!! Hopefully I will see Chris Pine, Tom Hardy, and Reese Witherspoon, so wish me luck on set!! I hate night shoots, because it just turns my whole life around, but for my daughter's new laptop, B.A.G. will work nights!! I will let you guys know if anything interesting happened on set, maybe they will need a body double to kiss Reese Witherspoon, ha!! Ha!!

                            Hey, is that B.A.G. on "Psych"??

Justin Beaver

I am sick, I have a headache, I have a stuffy nose, and my whole body ached all over!! Basically, I am not in a very good mood!! I am sleeping a lot, and I have been walking around in the same t-shirt and same track pants for the past two days!! Watching TV, reading, and writing is my pastime, which I can't complain about, because that is what I usually love to do anyways.

What I can complain about is being imprisoned in my own house!! I need to go out to see my friends, I need BAGminton, I need to window shop, I need to drive my car, I need to work, I need to go to the gym, and I need lunch with live people, not with stuff animals!!

Oh, did I just wrote eating with stuff animals? Well, I do have two stuffy friends, you got a problem with that????? One is called "Poopee",  the other one is called "Hutchew", and they are my friends when my wife and daughter are too busy to be with me. Hey, I don't have any animals or plants, so stuffy animals it is! At least I don't have to clean up after them, or water them! I think everybody should have a friend, either it is a rock, a paper clip, or a shoe, because we all need a friend to share our shit with.

I am reading "The Reality Dysfunction - Part 1: Emergence" by Peter F. Hamilton,

and "Nightchild", 3rd book in the "Chronicles of the Raven" by James Barclay.

While I was sick, my daughter left me alone to see the Justin Beaver concert!! I am not making fun of his name, because for the longest time,  I thought that was his name. I heard his songs, his name on the radio, but I always thought his name was Justin Beaver!! Until one day when my daughter said to me "Dad, his name is Bieber not Beaver!! You are such a dumb, dumb!!".

Now that I know his name, I still don't understand his popularity. He is cute looking now, but just wait till he is older!! His voice is cute now, just wait till his voice really changes!!  I guess that is why they are called teen idol, because when they grow up, most of them just disappear. Have you guys listened to his lyrics? He talks about love, I want to be with you forever, You are the only girl for me, I better stop, because I am getting nauseated.

What do a 14 years old boy know about love? Why would a 14 years old boy want to be with the same girl forever? Why would my daughter or any other girl be his only girl at 14? At 14, I just lust for girls, I don't even know how to spell the work love. At 14, I want to be with every girl that moved, and why would I want to be with the same girl forever? At 14, every girl is my only girl, because at 14, I have no long term memories.


Oh well, we are all crazy when we were young!! Just as long as we grow out of it and grow up to be a grumpy old BAG like me, than life is good, really good, ha!! Ha!!

Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2

Two long days on "Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2", yipee!!!!!! What can I tell you guys about the show? Nothing!!! I am not suppose to say anything, because I am a professional! I mean, if somebody offers me a million dollars, I might consider indirectly leaking out a few details, but I am still waiting for that day.

Mainly, I read for the whole two days!! I finished "Bloodsucking Fiends" by Christopher Moore on the first day, and I finished the second half of "The Ice limit" by Preston & Child on the second day.

"Bloodsucking Fiends" is a humorous vampire love story that I have to read for my book club this month, and over all, it was a pretty good read. My first time reading "Christopher Moore" and what stands out for me, was his humor. Although, I prefer to read Fantasy and SF, I have to say the book was very entertaining. I never liked the whole Vampire theme that is so popular nowadays, because that sucking and daylight thing is kind of boring and old to me. Mr. Moore's take on vampire is different, so I gave the book a chance, and it turned out to be some what enjoyable. One thing I do not like about Mr. Moore is his way of writing off topic just to get something he thinks is funny on paper. He is on topic, and suddenly he is talking about a game show on TV. The bit was funny, but what the hell does it got to do with the story? Will I read Mr. Moore again? Maybe not! I did liked the book, so I am giving "Bloodsucking Fiends" a 7 BAG out of 10!!!

"The Ice Limit" is about some people going after a meteorite and bad things starts to happen. Here are some reviews of the book; "An ultra action-packed adventure that will thrill with its nonstop action." Midwest Book Review, "When it comes to nail-biting, two-in-the-morning, page-turning thrillers, nobody delivers the goods like these guys." Nelson DeMille. Nonstop action my ass!! Please tell me where the nail-biting parts are? Nothing happens for the first 250 pages, and the book is only 491 pages!!! Page-turning thriller? I guess you have to turn the pages very fast to get to the exciting parts. I am all about content baby, nothing but content, so don't give me stuffing that bulk up the page count, I need content!! The book did pick up the pace for the 2nd half, but it is not the fighting, chasing, killing kind of pace that I like, It is the things are happening and we have to end the book pace. There were some suspense at the end, but what happened to the first 250 pages? I hate books or movies that build up a story to a climax and then end it with an open-ended question. Will I read Preston & Child again? Maybe! The book was o.k., so I am giving "The Ice Limit" a 6 BAG out of 10!!!

   
There were 400 extras on the first day, and that is what we call a "Cattle Call" in the film business world. Then on the second day, the number of extras were reduced to 150, because they were only filming close ups. As a professional background performer, it is my job to hide in a big scene like this, because if I am seen or what the film industry call "Featured", they won't use me again. Can you imagine seeing me in five different scenes in the same movie? Ha! Ha! So, that is what I did for two days, hiding!! I was sitting in the back or to the side, hiding my face and my balding head as much as possible.

I was expecting a BAG lunch, but they actually feed everybody a hot meal!! The crafty table was pretty good too, so a thumbs up for the food on "Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2"!!!!!

I do not talk much, so it is easy for me to keep my mouth shut on set. For some people, that is another story!! When there are 400 people, even whispering is very loud, so we were told continually to keep quiet. Some people just could not shut up!! On one hand, there are the loud obnoxious young kids that thinks whatever they say are funny, and on the other hand, older people that thinks "shut up" doesn't apply to them. Oh well, it is not my job to keep the cattle quiet, so I better get back to my book.

Day Off

                                    What movie am I in???



Working on "Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2" tomorrow, yipee!!!!! Tell you all about it after work!!!

The Art of Giving Thanks

It's Thanksgiving, what should I write about?? Well, it got to be something happy, definitely I am not going to write about turkeys!!

I think I am going to talk about the Art of Giving Thanks. At most Thanksgiving table, people are giving thanks to God for the food that is on the table, and for the food they are about to receive.  That is good, because at least they are thanking somebody, before they tear into that defenseless turkey.

I always thought the farmers, the grocers, the butchers, the cashiers, the gas attendants, the police, ...... and most of all mom and dad should get some credit for the food being on the table, don't you?? I know God created food for us, but there are a lot of middlemen in between creation and the table. Who pay for the food? Who drove the food home? Who cleaned, cut, chopped, peeled, .... and cooked the food? Who set the table and served the food?

Therefore, next time any thanks are given, a small thanks to all the middlemen, like mom and dad would be nice.

For you kids out there, or maybe some adults!! Giving thanks or simply saying "thank you" is not enough. Just saying "thank you" without feelings behind the words, is like giving a tie to your dad as a birthday present every year. Both the "thank you " and the tie are meaningless, because if it is not from the heart, it is only a gesture. Doing, saying, and giving with meaning, feeling and heart is the true Art of Giving Thanks!!

I like to give thanks to Korean, Chinese, and Japanese cooperation on the set of, "The L Word", and I mean it from the bottom of my heart!!





 Happy Thanksgiving!!! 

No turkey for me please!!!!!!!!!

It is that time of the year again, "Thanksgiving"!! It is when my seasonal recurring nightmare starts!!
When I was 13 years old, my whole family went to San Francisco for five days, and guess what, it was "Thanksgiving" weekend. I am Chinese, new to Canada, so my family don't really celebrate "Thanksgiving". I guess my family's friends do, because for the next five days, I was fed turkey from morning till night. That was when my nightmares started, ha!! Ha!!
I never understood white meat, and I will never understand white meat!! It is so dry!! Maybe if I soak it in gravy for half an hour, it might be soft enough to swallow. Dark meat is o.k., but turkey is really not one of my top 2000 food that I have to eat before I die choices.
My family do celebrate "Thanksgiving" now, just like any other meal that we have, we give thanks for the food on our table, just no turkey.

My day on the set of "Endgame" was full of excitement!! There were semiautomatics going off, car flying over a ramp and flipping over, and the car exploding with 5 feet high flames. It is their third episode, and they must have a hack of a budget for all the stunts they are doing.

When I was on set, I received three calls from friends telling me they saw me on the preview for next week "Fringe", so go check it out!! I think the preview is called "Speech from Walter"!!

Here is a happy "Thanksgiving" picture for everyone, ha!! Ha!! What show am I on?

                                     "Mom, I got the turkeys!!" 

  Happy "Thanksgiving", and no turkey for me please!!!!!     

Day Off

Tomorrow I am working on a new TV series call "Endgame", so I have to go to bed now. Call time is 6:42AM, so I have to get up at 5AM!! Good night and good day to everyone, and here is a picture just for Elephant girl.

Plastic heaven

I went to bed around 6AM this morning, because I just couldn't stop myself from starting this Blog. Therefore it was no surprise that I open my eyes a little pass 11:30.
Crawl out of bed, wrote some more on "Save balding Asian guy", "Facebook", "Twitter", and "Bag of Wonder", which is what i do these days. I started "Twitter" two days ago, and I don't like it!! "Twitter" doesn't give me a chance to write more than two sentences, and who are all those people?? Why do I want to tell them I am going to take a dump? Why do i care what they do?
Oh well, I guess I am just too old for "Twitter", because now a days, it seems kids text and write in a different language. Most of the time there are not enough letters in my daughter's text to make up even one word!! Soon, kids will petition for the alphabet to be shorten from 26 letters to 15, because we apparently don't use the other 11 letters.
Time flies when you are having a good time, because when I look up at the clock, it was 2:30!!! I had to eat and go pick up my daughter from school.
Walked across the street to the big M for a bite, but changed my mind and went to the Donair place instead.


"Beef please"
"For here or to go?"
"Here, please."
"$6.89, thank you"
"Oh, I don't need a plastic BAG! Let's save a plastic tree!"
"We use about one thousand BAGs a day, we don't care!!"
"I care!!!!!!"

I am no saint, I am no environmentalist, but I care!! If all the people that eat in don't take a BAG, wouldn't that help the world? I was not going to stand there and argue with him over a BAG, but I insisted on not taking the BAG!! I did my good deed of the day, and plastic heaven have to wait 5 more second for the next BAG.

Introduction

I am a background performer on "Stargate Universe", my character's name is "Dr. Vince Kwan" and my nickname is B.A.G. or the "Balding Asian Guy". After 12 years in the film business, I got my break back in August, 2010, when on Gateworld a Stargate fan website, a thread got started to "Save Balding Asian Guy". Nobody knew my name back then, because I was only a background performer! Due to this campaign, I became the first background performer in the history of the Stargate franchise to be given a character on the show. Thus, Dr. Vince Kwan was born!!! On Sept. 4th, 2010, Joseph Mallozzi, the producer of "Stargate Universe", had little old me on his Blog for a Q&A, and B.A.G. was immortalize. Google "Stargate balding Asian guy" to find out more about me, because you want to, you need to, and you have to!!!
