Memoirs of a Movie Stand-in 017

In this episode, I'll tell you about the production of episode 112 of Promised Land in late November 1996. This was a "socially relevant episode" about a "very important topic." But, above that, it was a chance to see Russell Greene behaving so tough it made me wonder if Chuck Norris could even withstand him!

Highlights of working on this episode included working with Stuart Margolin as director and John Finn as a guest.

Memoirs of a Movie Stand-in 016

In this podcast, I'll talk about working on the Christmas episode of Promised Land in November 1996. We did a lot of the work at the Gallivan Center in Salt Lake City. And I have my own behind-the-scenes photos from the episode at this web page here.

Memoirs of a Movie Stand-in 015

I'm still talking about my work in the Fall of 1996. I worked on Episode 110 of Promised Land, which was called "King of the Road." Also in this podcast, I mentioned a restaurant called La Caille, which should be familiar to fans of Touched by an Angel and Promised Land. It was used several times for episodes of Touched by an Angel. And I quickly mentioned something called the Taft Hartley Act. Here's a link to something about how it applies to the Screen Actors' Guild.

Memoirs of a Movie Stand-in 014

Happy New Year! We kick off the new year with a few stories from the Fall of 1996. I worked on Episode 109 of Promised Land, which was part two of a "crossover" episode. The story began on Touched by an Angel on a Sunday night and then the follow-up was broadcast on a Tuesday night on our show. The special guest star was Delta Burke, who worked hard on both episodes. But it's still kind of interesting to note that she did the episodes out of order. In other words, she did part 2 before she did part 1.
