With Dick Van Dyke on the set of Diagnosis Murder. Not only a legendary performer, but one heck of a nice guy. With Dennis Franz shooting NYPD Blue. Fresh out of college and doing children's theater in Virginia. That's me on the left. Recognize the girl next to me? It's Academy Award™ winning actress Kathy Bates. She played a duck. In an episode of 'Love & Curses', my character, Skip Seville, is transformed into a hideous 'Ratman' as punishment by a vengeful witch. Below is a series of shots showing the makeup artist's work. Uncolored latex pieces are applied to the ears and to the upper lip (to anchor the whiskers). Finished first stage transformation, with color blending and whiskers. Whole head latex mask showing final stage transformation is glued in place. The finished final stage transformation, complete with teeth and paws. Scary, huh? Shooting a circus themed Chrysler spot. I had had two wisdom teeth extracted the day before and I was totally whacked on percodan. Until I got the pictures back, I thought I'd hallucinated the seal. Being fitted in a bunny suit for a Jack In the Box spot. As JIB's spokesperson I shot over 80 TV commercials dressed as everything from a Tyrolian mountain climber to a giant chicken.

In Atlanta, shooting spots for Big Star Markets, with actor, Roger Nolan. Using a 'news report' format, we shot something like 20 spots over three days. Can anyone blame us for getting a little punchy? TO SEE THE 'BIG STAR' OUTTAKES, CLICK HERE. With the great Dick Orkin, at his RADIO RANCH recording studios. It's been my honor to play straight man for Dick in many, many funny radio spots produced at the Radio Ranch. CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO A RADIO SPOT WITH DICK AND DAN..
