A few years ago in Scotland I snapped this pic because I’d never heard of fly-tipping.
I been schooled since then and now know it’s illegal dumping, which apparently is a big problem in Britain, as demonstrated by the second photo.

So some mention must be made of ‘Lost’ ending. I’m sorry to say good-bye to Ethan, to the job, to the other actors, to the show, etc., etc. But I suppose these photos can offer a final reason more eloquently — or persuasively — than I can. I took them while shooting the “Jack, meet Ethan” episode for the short-lived ‘Lost’ web series after season 4 (?)..
San Francisco Treat
For those who lost sleep last night worrying about my emcee’ing the Epidemic Film Festival awards show, you may now rest your tired eyes. It went off without a hitch. The event was a blast and the students’ work was terrific.
As today is my birthday, I declare it a day of fun and rest for the nation. I will spend it roaming over San Francisco in absolutely gorgeous weather.
For no reason other than I took them, I’ve decided to include some photos from the last couple days in the City by the Bay.
The first two are of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade Memorial, and the second two from the Cable Car Museum.
Sadly, I couldn’t get a good shot from my window of the revolutionary rally (complete with red t-shirts) in Union Square, although I heard random cries of “pelosi!,” “not gonna take it!,” and “san francisco treat!”
And they’re off
Because I cannot make it back to this year’s Kentucky Derby — but selflessly insisted that they go ahead and run it without me — I got my spring racing fix a few days ago at the Santa Anita Derby.
It’s about 30 minutes northwest of downtown L.A., nestled up against the mountains. I’m never, ever asked for my betting method, but if I were, the answer would be, of course, “Don’t ask.”
However, because you didn’t ask, I’ll tell you. Step 1: Look at the sights and sip your drink. Step 2: Realize they’re nearly at the gate and betting’s almost closed. Step 3: Rush to the betting windows. [Bonus: Spill your drink en route.] Step 4: Bet on the first number that comes into your head. Step 5: Return to your seat, look at the sights, and sip your drink.
Some photos for your viewing pleasure..
Moving Mountains . . . of Clothes
A few days ago some other actors and I took part in a photo shoot for a popular magazine. The issue will probably be out in the next month or so. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you the magazine or why we were shot, but I thought some of you might be interested in what’s required for a magazine to pull off something like this.
Other than very helpful people to shepherd us around, mostly what’s needed is lots and lots of clothing choices to make us look less like bums (quoi? pas moi!) and more like presentable humans allowed to dine in public restaurants.
So here are a few photos I took of the studio we prepped in (the actual shooting was in another studio). The make-up tables are over in the right corner of course, and just out of sight to the left was a table of food, as there’s little worse than a hungry, grumpy actor (quoi?…)
