Please Watch My Emmy Winning Movie, The Pez Outlaw on Amazon Prime, Peacock, Sling & Pluto. 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Best actor at SXSW.
Last Night I rewatched The Movie Chaplin, about the Silent Film Icon Charlie Chaplin.
When I was a very young man in my mid to late 20s, I was very Facinated with Film History. Chaplin, The Marx Brothers, Keaton, Harold Lloyd, Larel & Hardy and yes the 3 Stooges.
I loved reading about there Life Stories. This facination spilled over into the studios & the people who ran them.
The transition from Silent Movies to Talkies. How most Silent film mega stars could not make the transition to Talkies. Which took my studies into Vaudville, where the studios went in 1929 for talent that could repopulate the industry.
I had no Idea in my 20s that one day at age 69 I would be asked to play myself in a Movie about Little Ole Me. Then to be shocked outa my skin when I won Best Actor at the SXSW Film Festival. South By SouthWest is one of the top 3 Film Festivals in The USA.
You dream about a lot of things as a young person, then Life Happens. Yet you find your way to your passion.
That my later life became a story worth telling is quite the impossible dream, but to star in a movie about it is unheard of in my little brain.
How do you live with such a thing?
#1. You never watch the movie, so you do not internalize the experience.
#2. It helps to be schizophrenic. You then can seperate that person from yourself. Allowing you to work for & talk about him in a detached manner. So when you talk about him winning a Best actor award, it's about him, not you.
My Role or Job is to Get The Pez Outlaw Character across the Finnish Line. It would appear that this is my job for the rest of my Life.
It could be worse you know. What if I didn't have a story worth Telling. Yee Gads, That would be horrible.
Personally I think of myself as a story teller & if you will let me, a Writer.
