So all of a sudden it was, "well Ted the director says......." My response was very quick! "Tell the director when he has done as many Hollywood movie production and promotion work as I have, then maybe I'll let him film along side while I'm shooting!" It kind of put things in a slightly different perspective. "And if he'd like a Hollywood reference I'll give him John Travolta's phone number and he can call him!" :) Guess who shot while the TV commercial was being shot! :) Man it's great when you can stick it to some of these two bit TV directors when they think the world bows to their every whim! :) Gets easier after the first 40 years! :) ted
