"The Good Guys"

Like I said the other day that I was playing CSI again on "The Good Guys" yesterday. We were on set which is always fun. Let me just let you in on a little something, the set designer did a awesome job. The police department is very cool and realistic. I wanted to also let you all know when I say I like working on set is cause I get to see some really cool stuff and trade secrets of how stuff is done (removable walls and other really cool things). Or just an example the CSI lab is upstairs (stairs that are right next to Jack and Dan's desks) so I get to walk right by Jack (Colin Hanks) and Dan (Bradley Whitford) but also get a workout. The stairs are not completely solid though and the railing on the right side is very lose, it goes up to a door but there is nothing on the other side. When I am on the top I can see the lights and everything that makes up the ceiling for the police station. Oh yeah by the way it is also 15 degrees hotter up there cause the lights. But I love it!!! So let's dig in for what happened on set. First off Jack and Dan were interrogating a suspect which is always fun to listen to. Bad cop, good cop you will have to what and see on the show to find out who. Then as I was waiting outside (beautiful day so holding was outside, also something was wrong with a/c) and I got to see Jenny Wade, she plays Liz Townsend, old girlfriend of Jack coming in for her scene. Then Diana Maria Riva, who plays Lt. Ruiz came on set and said hi to me and we ending up talking and I thanked her for following me on twitter. She is an incredible lady. She is so down to earth, she talked about her character and how she got to talk with some of the lady Lt. here in Dallas. Ok now back to the set, Lt. Ruiz was talking to Jack and Dan and man it was great, what a powerful woman!! That was a fun scene first off I started upstairs, came down picked up paper from desk near main actors then went to other side of station, picked up file, looked at some papers, headed back towards Jack, Dan, and Lt. Ruiz, picked up another paper, went by interrogation room, dropped off papers and file, counted to 5 and then headed upstairs. Ok let me remind you it was very hot in there and I am wearing a t-shirt long sleeve uniform with not cargo pants but kinda like them with combat boots. After they would yell cut I would have to run back down stairs get file and put everything back and head but up the stairs. It was crazy but very fun!! We had like 15 different takes. Jack (Colin) was being hilarious after the first couple he was showing us how background does, very very funny, ROFL. Then as he was getting ready to start scene again he was like doing some warm up stuff and jumping around being silly and making Lt. Ruiz (Diana) laugh. So that was very fun. Later we had another scene where they were shooting from the break room were Jack and Dan were at and Lt. Ruiz was looking for them. Go get them girl, that is all I can say, hehe. Another cool thing about that day was I got to see what a very cool person Diana is. She even walked Bradley's and Jenny's dogs and every time she would stop and chat with me. Just talking with her and seeing he act is something to behold. I hope to pick up more tidbits from and incredible actress and awesome lady. Didn't get home until real late so that is why I am blogging about it today. Today has been a recovery day, I did look for new projects and still no new ones. So like I always say we will see what tomorrow brings.
