Today I worked on the set of Sex & The City, Episodes 13 and 14 of their final season.
I'm not too sure about which scenes were for which episode, but in one scene, I wore a gray jacket and jeans, and walk around and am seated in various angles on Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall. In another scene, I round the corner where Cynthia Nixon and David Eigenberg sit, my being strapped into a large black backpack and in some takes, walking my bike. I'm wearing a brown cardigan with a yellow shirt underneath and jeans.
During my lunch break, I went to Tipton & Maglione for a go-see for Arbor Mist. The print job, as I understand it, would be for a grocery store cut-out.

This evening I taped ABC's Hope & Faith, starring Kelly Ripa, Faith Ford, and Ted McGinley. Clint Black is the guest star for the episode, entitled "Hope & Faith Get Randy" (#H107).
I should be pretty easy to pick out, in the line-dance scene toward the end. I'm in the third line of people, wearing a brown plaid shirt, and (intentionally) doing the dance poorly. Toward the close of the scene, I'm behind Kelly Ripa and Faith Ford as Clint Black gets thrown off the mechanical bull. (Spoiler!)

This evening I worked on the film Loverboy, directed by Kevin Bacon. I had a scene with Kyra Sedgwick--a woman who just had sex with a college student, I'm trying to listen through the door when she swings it open and walks through a couple of guys and me.
