First off, I
didn’t have a license.
What you’re
looking at is the message I received on May 17th 2010. It was my 2nd
wedding anniversary. I went home and tried to find an episode of SOA to watch.
It wasn’t on Netflix streaming yet, it was barely legally online at all. I
found episode 201 on Amazon, bought it and gaped open mouthed at the screen as
Gemma got raped by Henry Rollins. (Spoiler Alert?)
This was the
beginning of my life with SAMCRO.
It’s been
fun to look back at this message and some of the others I got around this time.
I had absolutely no clue what was happening around me. I barely remember my
first day on set. Katey was the first person I met whom I recognized. She was
sitting in the makeup chair next to mine getting her cleavage scar applied. She
was kind and gracious. I was desperately trying not to look at her boobs and
get fired the first day.
That meeting
was an indication of what was to come. Every person I met, cast or crew,
producer or PA, made me feel at home. Each experience was more surreal than the
next, as these people at the top of their game each went out of their way to
make me feel welcome. This was how it was for my 3 years on the show. They are
all true professionals and I only wish I got to work with each of them more.
Getting
killed off a show is a weird thing. Everyone sees you survive the previous
season so they assume you’re still working well into the start of the new one.
I’m sure somewhere in my contract it says I ain’t allowed to say anything, so I
only informed my closest friends. At least they got to enjoy dropping inside
jokes about exploding heads every opportunity they got, as with losing any job-
especially the best one you’ve ever had- laughing helps. I’m just glad the
episode finally aired.
To the fans
of SOA: Thank you. I’ve had nothing but positive experiences encountering you
guys and I appreciate the kindness. Charming is a gnarly place this year,
buckle your seatbelts.
I hope you
enjoy the rest of my ride through this crazy business. There may be no more
Filthy, but I’ll find a way to get in your houses unannounced. In the meantime
you can find me on twitter, facebook or instagram. Hell, I may even have more
time to write on this blog.
Two weeks
after I got capped by that bastard Timmy Murphy I went to North Carolina and
filmed an episode of one of my favorite shows, Eastbound and Down. It’s in the
middle of their season and is fucking hilarious.
So watch it.
I sing.
It’s…….awful.
I was so sad to see you go! I liked your character...especially when you played the nervous newbie. Reminded me of my first day at college. I was so hoping we would get to see more of you on SOA. Will def be looking into your future endeavors! Love & Peace!
ReplyDeleteI just had to eat the biggest bowl of Cap'n Crunch! All the best for the future!
ReplyDeleteYou will find another show to be EPIC at... This is such a great show, and you just made it that much better!
ReplyDeleteAwesome and well said!
ReplyDeleteFarewell, dear Phil. May you have all the cereal you want in the afterlife.
ReplyDeleteGonna miss ya big guy, I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you got blasted on, brother. But it was a priceless look of surprise you pulled right before the moment it happened!
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely need to find that Eastbound and Down episode. That series is filmed down in my neck of the woods.
When I posted that 'they took my Filthy!' that was a direct reference to the pic y'all autographed for Mr. Rober' aka the DH at World of Wheels in Indy. Meeting with y'all during the S4 fan challenge party (and at the Perri Ink Cartel open!) and again at Indy was a great experience for me. You are every bit as gracious and giving as the 'stars' you met on your first day.
ReplyDeleteDo blog more often. I enjoy your rumbles. You have a way with the written word that entertains and delights. I have no doubt that you will continue to flourish in the weird world of actin'. You're a delight, and I'm proud to think of y'all as 'friend'. Purrs and whisker kisses from Lowecat. (aka Mrs. Lowe).
