Had to laugh at the premise of that one. If they came to Texas, it'd be no escape. In fact, the black man would be grabbed and enslaved unless he had definite proof of having been freed and maybe not even then!

They were filmed around here. I was an extra on one, the 3rd I think - there were a bunch of Henrys or pseudo-Henrys among the long-arms. The bad guys are robbing something (bank? gambling house?) in town (actually part of Heritage Park in Calgary) and the locals got wind and set up an ambush. I'm wearing a brown suit, pop out from behind a bush, and let fly with a brass-framed .36 Remington (!!!). As they edited the version I saw, my face was always obscured by something, but I hit one of the outlaws. Everything else I did in it was too far from the camera or on the cutting room floor.

Regards,

Well Joel, that makes you a pseudo-celebrity! Every time I've been involved in some event that was taped for use, I've been just off camera to the left, right or sideways...though one time by left hand got in the shot since I was the only guy with a bayonet and they needed to have it in the foreground as a Mexican soldier's eye view of San Jacinto. "See the hand? That's moi!!"...didn't even get my 15 minutes!!! :rotf:

Hey, Wes. I thought I recognized that hand! :grin: Actually, I know that situation fairly well. For a while, I was doing a moderate amount of background work and I think I was recognizable once, maybe twice, in Lonesome Dove, the Outlaw Years and maybe in one place in In Cold Blood. Ah, well, it was an interesting hobby while I had the flexibility in time to do it.
