Sam and Ty asked to meet me for breakfast. They are producing a documentary on an aspect of development of the city and wanted background information. Couple of enthusiastic and nice young men.
I was surprised to learn that I was in the script they had roughed out and offered to play myself. “I’ve done TV, so I’m not afraid of a camera.”
They looked at each other. “Uh, we had Sam in mind to play you. We’re low budget.” Nice guy, but nowhere near handsome enough.
“What budget? I play me every day for free anyway. Are you saying that Sam can play me better than I can play me?”
“Well, it was over twenty years ago. No offense.”
None taken. “I’d wear a wig. Makeup.”
“That only goes so far.” Okay, now we’re bordering on offense.
It’s a little weird being told you’re not the best person to portray you.
