"The Good Guys"

Yesterday was filming on "The Good Guys". We were in the police station which is always fun (CSI lab upstairs, LOL). It was a really cool day, it was the first day shooting of episode 10 called "Vacations". It was cool cause I got to see all of the cast Colin Hanks (Jack), Bradley Whitford (Dan), Diana Maria Riva (Lt. Ruiz), and Jenny Wade (Liz). The wanted to do all of the police station scenes so it was a long day. Lt. Ruiz was up first doing some conversation on the phone scenes. It was very cool to see how they do those kinds of scenes. The writer Aaron Ginsburg did an awesome job with this episode. It is super funny and has some new characters. I got to see one that was let's just put it this way HUGE!! He was 7 ft. tall and really muscular!! WOW!! That is what all the women were saying!! Then it was time for Jack and Dan to be in Lt. Ruiz office as usual!! Those guys are always up to something, lol. Then they leave her office which means time for me to find my usual spot on the CSI stairs. I was having a blast everyone was in awesome moods and being their usual funny selves. I also got to talk to the crew guy, Streets, that Colin actually said is like Mario from the Mario Brothers game. Colin even has video on his twitter account of Streets dressed up and doing the Mario moves to the Nintendo music. Freaking funny!! I told Streets that was really cool of him to do that and he was like "this crew likes to have a good time". That is so the truth!! After lunch we were doing a scene and from one angle I would cross after a Hodgins (detective from show) would leave after talking to Jack and Dan. But this actually ends up being a really long scene with two different parts after Jack, Dan, and Hodgins split Jack and Dan meet up with Liz where Dan leaves Jack and Liz to talk. So this was a really cool scene to shoot. It not only had several different angles and takes but I got to do a suicide cross in front of the camera (being operated by my buddy Kenji, who I told not to run me over). It was a lot of fun, and I didn't end up getting run over!! During one of the takes though the director asked Bradley "to come quicker" and Bradley had the most funny expression and was like "I can do that". And standing like right next to him and he was kinda looking in my direction me and the wardrobe lady started to blush and bust up!!! And Colin being right there had to point it out that I was blushing, I was like "it was her" and I pointed to where the wardrobe lady was standing (what I didn't know was she was gone) and Colin said "who you talking about no one is there". Let me tell you I then turned a deeper red and I was getting really hot!! And I had to breathe cause we had to shoot the scene. FUN DAY!!! After that long scene we had one more scene were I was walking up behind Lt. Ruiz as she was making a phone call and walking around in the precinct. It was a 12 hour day which is not to bad but very fun. Also got to pet the infamous puppy of Brad's, she was just begging to be pet. Brad came up as I was petting her and we talked a little before he said to his puppy "you stay her" so he could go change for his scene. He is so nice, also heard from one of the stand-ins on set that Dan Stark is a ladies man on the show!! Looking forward to the next time I am on the show and I will be giving a much details with out giving to much, just enough!!!
