    Jack Black Saved my life!

    I had the pleasure of meeting Jack Black while working as an extra “Sodom Guard” on the set of “The Year One” here in Louisiana. He is truly a character, keeping about two hundred of us extras entertained between takes, he was very approachable, so I gave him a copy of my independent documentary “Eyes In The Dark: The Sasquatch Experience” that I had smuggled in under my costume armour. He perked up immediately and started asking questions about it, after a brief discussion about my adventures in no-budget film making, he remarked, “I can’t wait to check it out, cause you know I’m into Sasquatch and the Yeh-Teh! How incredibly supportive he was!

    The Sad Stuff

    I started making the documentary in 2005, that’s when I discovered I had a serious health issue, I was temporarily disabled while on chemotherapy, and couldn’t do much but watch videos and surf the net. It was while surfing the net that I discovered that comedian Jack Black was a huge fan of the elusive creatures collectively known as Sasquatch. I asked my wife to bring me Jack Black movies to watch, and they were hilarious! He always seems to work in some reference to Sasquatch, which I found interesting.

    Meanwhile, the chemotherapy was brutal, I spent many hours planning the end of my life in a way that would be the least painful for my wife and children. It was thoughts of them, and the distraction of the next ridiculous round of laughter I could gain from Jack Black comedies, that moved my mind away from that train of thought.

    Jack Black’s comedy allowed me to escape the horror that was my real life and laugh for a while, when I really, truly needed to laugh.

    I vowed to myself that I would survive the chemotherapy and the cancer, finish my little no-budget documentary film, and mail a copy to Jack Black. And I did just that. Months later I was in remission, strong as an ox and finishing the film project.

    The only problem was I couldn’t find Jack’s mailing address, at least not one I could verify as real. So the final part of my self imposed mission was at a standstill.

    Then, call it good fortune, fate, or what have you. I heard Jack Black would be shooting a movie in town, my wife actually thought she spotted him at the local Target. I was pumped, but still didn’t know how to contact him. Then a casting company called me from an application I had put in right after my recovery for an entirely different Jessica Simpson film. They needed extras for The Year One. It was Jack Black’s movie! I said yes and scrambled to get time off from my job as a telephone lineman.

    I finally accomplished my mission just weeks ago when I met Jack. But I never got a chance to tell him the whole story. We were shooting a movie and it was time to get back to work. He doesn’t even know how his comedy saved my life.
