Fast & furious 2009

 I play a street racer in the upcoming fast & furious 2009. I am in several cars throughout the movie. I am hoping they don't cut my yellow car out during the editing of the movie. I am also in a green Hummer, and a Porsche Gt in different scenes. Hopefully they don't cut my scenes out!! I had a blast during the filming of the movie.

                               On the set at fast & furious 4 with star Paul Walker. Paul was happy after I took him drifting during a scene break to the local 7-11. He was a pretty cool guy. Know his cars and has a bunch of them. I saw the red bike on a couple of sets.

This particular set was on a golf shooting range in Los Angeles. Here's Paul Walker driving some golf balls in between sets. The funniest part about the scene was after they yelled quiet on the set, some drunk who was across the street in some park started playing the trumpet. The microphones and boom mikes were picking up the sound. Everybody started laughing. I was cracking up. The set producers sent somebody to give the bum 50 bucks to stop playing.

 On set during the race scene where Vin pulls a massive wheelie in the primered chevelle. I play a street racer at the races. Later on I play a bystander behind the cars at the race where Vin pulls that massive wheelie on the chevelle. It was a real wheelie, not computer generated. I was there. I saw it!

                         It was cold in La. Since alot of it was night filming, set starts right when the sun goes down and stops when the sun comes in. We got paid for overtime. At 4:30 am it was freaking freezing. I was wearing a yellow race shirt. It was to bright for the scene, so they gave me a black jacket. They didn't want to distract attention from the race.

                                 Vin is driving this chevelle during the movie as well as a few other cars. I saw several versions of this car on the set.

Fast & Furious Girls. These poor girls were freezing. They handed out blankets in between sets to them.

All these girls were extras. Its funny because every single one was thinking she was going to become the next big actress or Lindsey Lohan. Half of them will end up dancing on the pole within 3 years.

 On the set of the fast & furious with some of the actors/car owners. I'm the guy on the very left in the yellow shirt.  I had a blast playing an racer in the movie. The set was located on a golf driving range in koreatown Los Angeles. I was stoked when I found a bar/restaurant on the set. To say I had a buzz was an understatement.

More Behind the scenes at the upcoming fast & furious part 4. This is at the spanish night club scene.  There is a party going on in the parking lot. People are dancing and having a good time. Justin Lin (producer) put 3 girls in my car to open the scene. I almost pimped slapped one of the bimbos for trying to step on my interior with her heels on. Wtf was she thinking?? Heels off ladies. Respect the cars!  That scene was shown in the superbowl commercial. We also filmed inside the nightclub the night before. Other scenes that were shot that week were the bmw ghost riding accident set, and Vin's arrival at the club. I did not see Paul Walker  that night.

                                          Vin and Justin discussing what to do with my car during the scene. They decided to put the doors up and put three girls into the car. Justin originally wanted the girls to stand up on my hood, but since it was fiberglass, I told him it would crack.

I asked Vin during the desert shoot  how the rogaine was working out for his hair, and he just started cracking up.

                  Thats MTV's Pimp my Ride host MadMike and some hookers.

                               Paul Sr was pissed when my bike took best overall against his. Sr is pretty cool. I am a fan of his show OCC choppers. Sr has a vacation home in Hawaii next to my parents.

Hey Paul, I just got Norm's front facia, and was wondering about the center IC screen. Did you receive one with your front facia, or did you do that mod yourself?
