HOO-AH!
The day we found out about “Tru Calling”‘s fate, Eric, Lizzy and I went down to the hotel bar for some drinks since it was going to be our last week together. After about an hour and a few drinks later, who sits down next to us but, Al “Freakin’” Pacino! Turns out he’s staying at the hotel with Rene Russo and Matthew McConaughey shooting “Two for the Money“. Anyway, we’re all trying to be cool and non-intrusive when Lizzy begins slowly eating peanuts from a bowl with a mischievous glint in her eye.
LIZZY: How much would you give me to flick a peanut at him?
ERIC/PARRY: WHAT ?!?
LIZZY: It’d be such a great story!
She notices the terror-stricken look upon on our faces.
LIZZY (dejected) : Fine. At least let’s send him over a drink then.
We look over and observe that he’s drinking from a pot of tea.
LIZZY: Ooo. I know, let’s send him a ‘Shirley Temple’ (popular beverage of choice among 12-year old girls consisting of 7-Up and Cherry Juice).
To which we then decided that now would be a good time to head off to the next watering hole and avoid looking like a bunch of pathetic actors who just had their show cancelled.

Al Pacino rocks! I saw him in Soho and he was sooo coool and laid and back…and hot! But I didn’t interrupt his day either. Best to let people enjoy their freedom.
al pacino and i had the same haircut back when he was in his early 20s and when i was 17. he went on to stardom and acclaim, i just write every once in a while on my xanga.
So if I ever see you Parry in a bar somewhere, you’ll understand if I flick a peanut at you?
hah.
Anyway, sorry to hear your show got cancelled. Whatevs.org went off on a rant about it recently.
ahhh!!! i love scarface!!!
that in itself is a great story
I still think flicking a peanut at him would have made a great story to tell. Looks like you still had fun despite earlier dissapointment. Way to roll…
I want to meet Al Pacino. Did you get his autograph?
WOW ! That’s dope ! If I get to meet you again, I’ll send you over a Shirley Temple ! LOL
aww.
omg! u saw him and didn’t say anything! that’s nuts! i would have! i mean even if he is the greatest star… i’d be freaked but i’d do something… maybe the peanut idea wasn’t so bad….haha
HOOAH!!! Heh heh heh… that’s one of the MOST popular words in the United States Army.
sorry about the show, bro.
my love for shirley temples does nothing to damage my masculinity! i don’t know man, he looks pretty hungry for peanuts in that picture
i woulda shouted “FREDO” and fallen to the ground
over-the-top?
“aww, NUTS.”
Awww..that’s too bad. I was going by the waterfront the other day downtown near the SeaBus terminal and they were shooting Tru Calling; I thought about you!
I would just like to notify you that i too can say the alphabet backwards in less than five seconds. with the little ditty at the end to, you know the ‘now i know my abc’s.’ hehehe. -kelly
Nice xanga I loved BLT I just got done watching it and happen to stumble across your xanga ha coincidence. Sorry about your show being canceled hopefully it will open you up to do something bigger/better. Well I wish you the best in your career and I see you are doing a campus tour you should think about coming to Wayne state I could help organize your vist with Fil sci or one of the other minority undergrad organization on campus.
Wow. Lizzy’s got guts.
Sorry that happened to you parry, Don’t worry, Your talent will land you another cool job. Best of luck to you.

Hey, Perry.
Tru Calling was canceled? Howcome?!?!?! >.<
I bet it’s because of all those damned reality shows that they like to make.
TV is supposed to be about escaping from reality, not immersing yourself in it.
*sigh*
Well, talk to you later.

Hey Parry…it’s been awhile. I’m sure there will be more opportunities!!!
