hey Jeff i think your thinking of Scott Jones he played the director in that opening seq of Silver Screen i was the idiot in the Peter Pan/Robin Hood Green Tights (i guess that is worse, huh?) remember when the swing hit me in the head and cut my head open and I had to be rushed to the hospital? oh ...

right down San Thomas Expressway
about 5-6 miles
would take me right to the employee parking lot!
