I woke up this morning and happened to turn on the TV next to the computer. It was still on TBS from watching last nights playoff games. Airing early this morning: Major League: Back to the Minors.

I played an umpire for twelve days on this film, and you can see me on both first and third. I guess I can look forward to another check with nothing to the left of the decimal point.

UPDATE: If you’re watching right now, I’m the 3rd base ump. (Yes, the fat one.)

If you have Cinemax you can catch yours truly in about three minutes (Cinemax West). You see, I was one of the umpires in Major League: Back to the Minors.

And you thought you didn’t know anyone famous.

Addendum: Shooting this film was a ton of fun. Among those I had the chance to meet, several stand out —
Jensen Daggett was every bit as pleasant to talk to as she is to look at.
Former Dodgers catcher (and nephew of Chuck Yeager) Steve Yeager had some great baseball stories to tell, and he loved to tell them.
Dennis Haysbert was fun and classy. Uh, Dennis. . . I know they killed you off on 24 last season, but if you can pull any strings. . .
Scott Bakula gets my vote for the star most likely to say, “hey, let’s grab a beer.” I had two or three brief conversations with him, and he seemed to be genuinely interested in what others had to say. On one occasion I was in the lunch tent with him and his wife. He was very interested in the area and just great to talk with.
