My past comes back to haunt me, Part II

[serai]

.

I just found out from honeyandvinegar that Cracker, the Robert Pastorelli series that Your Humble Narrator worked background on, is out on DVD. The whole series. So of course I ran straight to eBay.

Now, from my memory, I never got any real shots, so any obsessive watching I do will probably be for naught, except for fuzzy me in the back of the office and shots of the back of my head, etc. But you know, it was a really cool series which was never given a real chance, so I'll be glad to watch it regardless. (And you never know - I might have gotten in there somewhere!)

Pastorelli, who starred in the Robbie Coltrane role, was a great guy. Funny, fairly friendly, and surprisingly sexy in person. We spoke a couple of times - work related - and I found him pretty approachable. What's he been up to lately?

Plus there's Josh Hartnett as a young pup. Total unknown at the time. Gets tied to a bed with tape over his mouth in one episode. That'll be fun too.

Sadly, Pastorelli died in 2004 of a heroin overdose. That makes me sad, as I always enjoyed him, in this, and on Murphy Brown.

I know! I remember hearing about it and being very taken aback. He seemed like he'd be a really cool guy to hang with

I remember he used to call me "the dancing girl", because I used to dance on my toes to keep my energy up between takes. Damn.

And he was so funny in Dances with Wolves...
