How one guy got drunk and ended up in a Seth Rogen movie
October 10, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
I regularly troll Digg for fun movie stuff, and sometimes I get lucky, as I did today with this story. Apparently, a guy named Paz got drunk, acted like an idiot, and ended up in a Seth Rogen movie. Those are his words, not mine.
Personally, I think he’s a genius! The movie turned out to “The Green Hornet,” which hits theaters Dec. 22, 2010. Here’s Seth Rogen and Cameron Diaz filming a scene:
And here’s an excerpt from Paz’s experience:
Seth has been observing my slowly developing epiphany, chuckling. I don’t blame him. I must look like a total dumbass.
“ROLL SOUND….AND… ACTION!!”
You’ve got to be kidding. That happened way too fast – I didn’t even have a chance to move.
Somehow, the little bald guy completely missed me. And I am now in a movie.
I quickly look down at my Blackberry and frantically begin checking non-existent e-mails. I am invisible. I am invisible.
A wide-lens Panavision camera swings down 10 feet in front of my head and a movie scene unfolds. I’m watching it all like its on TV…
Seth Rogen walks purposefully past me and the blondes chatter with exaggerated gestures as a stretch Hummer pulls up in the courtyard. A valet opens the door…
“…AND CUT!!”
The scene is over. Seth ambles back to his mark. I am frozen in time.
“Dude,” he says to me on his way back. “If they don’t catch you in post, you should totally sue.”
I am Jack’s speechless larynx.
I cock my head back as if to say, “Yes. I am a moron.”
If you see ‘Green Hornet’ next summer and happen to notice an out-of-place jackass in a blue blazer with a valet ticket, let me know.
Read the full transcript of this ultra-fun experience here. Thanks, Paz, for a great story! I’ll be looking for you in the movie, and will live vicariously through you until I accidentally end up in my own Seth Rogen movie.
