I’m not sure if this is suited for here or Cafe Society because it’s about television but I wanted to share that my segment from MTV’s Slient Library is now on their site at
I saw a posting on Craigs List and answered it. Yes I was paid for my appearance. No residuals but my hope is it goes viral and I get asked for future projects because I am memorable.
ZipperJJ thanks for that compliment. I just wish that one day I’ll be known as that fat guy who appears shirtless with no reaction that you see in many movies or TV shows.
When I mentioned feeling sorry for you, I was referring to the embarrassment. Being led into a room to have a girl kiss your belly while her friends laugh at her for it, etc.
But hey, I wish I had 300 bucks right now so more power to you.
Why would I be embarrassed about what happened? It was known up front by my what I’d be doing and the humor in it is amazingly over the top. Here I am in a situation that I would never encounter normally and I’m having fun.
A group of giggling girls each take a card from a stack of cards and turn them over. One girl, the loser, turns out to have a card with a skull and crossbones. Her challenge? She must make out with the bellybutton of what a narrator describes as “a large man” with a face painted on his chest, the large, red mouth painted over his belly (the OP). The girl gets on her knees before the OP and proceeds to kiss and lick his bellybutton. After a few seconds of this the OP leaves the room and the girls are given a cash reward.
Yes it did tickle when she was doing what she was doing but I internally distanced myself (if that makes sense) As soon as I was out the door and the segment was finished I did start howling with laughter.
I don’t know what the makeup-artist used to paint the face but she did an amazing job of it. It took me a little while in the shower there to get it all off.
The straight face part was simple
look at a point past the subject so you have something to concentrate on but looks like you are looking at the subject
Pretend this is not happening to you
Think unfunny thoughts
As far as below the belt there was nothing that popped up Really I was not turned on because just physical doesn’t do anything for me. I need a mental connection and there was nothing there.
