THS: The Production Assistant

A blog where you can experience the ins and outs of the film biz in NYC through the eyes of someone starting from the bottom up (with a few celebrity sighting puzzles along the way).

I shook his hand

This will probably the one time that I actually name names and tell you about someone I ran into while on set.

Last night, while working at an alarmingly inefficient pace, one of the actors told me to watch out for a friend of hers/his who would be stopping by. I'm like, sure, no problem. Once he tells me the name of the friend, I basically glue myself to the corner where the actor's camper is so I don't miss the "friend." No one else was around when the actor said this, so I had to contain my excitement. That containment lasted for about two seconds as I called a friend to a different radio channel and told them who was about to arive. (Needless to say, my "friend" came over immediately at the prospect of meeting the actors' "friend.")

In about five minutes, this tiny tiny man walks across the street with a big smile on his face. I extend my hand, say hello, introduce myself, and show him to the camper.

Seriously, Danny DeVito is a SMALL guy. Wow. Super nice and funny. But wow.

And oh yeah, Brett Ratner (Director of Rush Hour, X-Men 2) was there with some ridiculously beautiful girl. I wasn't as excited about that.
