I technically have. I wasn't hired for it though.

Ah, the beauty of a non-closed set.
WaltG123 != WaltG123. & WaltG123,

There's a difference between blue text & a URL, ****. Those who can't read will be added to my ignore list.

Awww, how cute. Someone who thinks that people will be dumb enough to believe that they're me, despite the blatant period & completely different post numbers.

And, of course, the obvious fact that if, if it were me, I would've edited the post, not replied to it. Not to mention it's not necessarily true that "nobody but her will know why she signed it twice" & I'm smart enough to know that.

Not to mention the grammatical mistakes.

But, please, carry on. You can help me find more people to add to my ignore list. I don't need to be bothered reading posts by users that are stupid enough to believe that these 2 accounts are the same. I appreciate the help in weeding out the ****. So thank you. :D

I just remembered that the biggest thing about it was getting to attend the premier here in town. Casper Van Dien and Denise Richards were there. Maybe Dina Meyer and Michael Ironside too. Not sure.

And during the filming some of the crew were complaining about being out here stuck in a small town (50,000) and wanting to get out of here. They were at the airport bitching and one of them said something about having a bomb. This was pre-9/11 but they still took things like that seriously. Shut down the whole flight and brought in a bomb sniffing dog from Cheyenne. Of course no bomb but they did bust a guy who was smuggling some fireworks back.

I was an extra in some commercials with famous Swedish actors, 2 Swedish police movies with Mikael Persbrant who is a really big name here, and even replaced one of the leading roles for additional scenes (driving around, walking into a restaurant, etc etc) in a TV sitcom that was very popular at the time. (Hint for you Swedes here - the actor/comedian I replaced is now married to the leader of one of our biggest political parties....)
