The HEFNER MOVIE
My roommate Phil Schwartzetti and I were on the phone for 2 hours last night, to try to get a job from the "Mojo Extras Agency".

We got a job all right! We were told to show up at a mansion in Sun Valley at 5:30 AM to work on " The Hefner Principal ".

We quickly found out the subject of the new film: the life of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, starring Tom Hanks.

Needless to say, I was at my car, ready to go, by 4 AM the next day!
They specifically told us NOT to bring any camera!

So, I quickly took this picture of my roommate Phil as soon as we got on the set.

As usual, Phil refused to change, or drop his hat. So they told him he couldn't be used in the film... But I think he had fun anyway. Not with these girls though. We found out they were union snobs.

Union Extras make a lot more money than us, nonunion guys. And they are snobs. So we don't really hang out with any of them.

That's a picture I now I was NOT supposed to take!

Tom Hanks in full make up, rehearsing one of the last scene in the film.

"The Hefner Principal" is one of the biggest Disney production of the year. And I think everybody is going to wonder if Tom Hanks can look like Hugh Hefner.

At the end of the day, I found Phil still hanging out with some of the $90 a day snob union extras, hired to be the Playmates.

But Phil quickly became irritated when he realized that some of the girls wanted him to take his hat off. You just don't do that. Even I know better.

To make a long story short, 2 of the girls ended up in the ER, and Phil was banned from the set, again.

That's a picture of a rare moment, when Mr.Hanks was taking a break.

You can tell he's not working because he doesn't wear the "Hefner Wig". He's a very nice guy but refused to sign my "Joe versus the Volcano" laser disc.

Right after this, a guy from Disney saw my camera. So I had to leave the set in a hurry.

The "Mojo Agency" told me there was no work for me tomorrow, when I called them up tonight...
