So the film that six people came out to watch in 2004, “First Daughter” just came out on Dvd last Tuesday. And as I was looking to review my scene to possibly put on my demo reel, I was surprised to discover how simple it was to locate.
Because there it was: Scene 10, entitled “Freedom of Speech”. Cool! I’ve never been a Dvd Chapter card before (excluding lead roles in films). Anyway, it’s at Blockbuster to rent if you want to check it out for as long as you want with their new “No more late fees” policy (which is pretty misleading–it’s really a 7-day extention because if you don’t return it by then,they charge you the price of the movie).
I’m glad I finally have a, albeit tiny, role in a family film to show my daughter when’s she’s like 7 years old (it’s the only non PG-13/Rated R film I’ve done to date).
When doing “Smilodon“, I was surprised to learn that Robert Carradine had yet to show his 12-yr old son his film, “Revenge of the Nerds” — just because it was such a huge part of 80′s pop culture (I mean, his character invented the whole “white tape around the middle of the eyeglasses” thing!). But then again, it is Rated-R so I guess it does make sense that his son hasn’t seen it yet.
I think when I pop in ”First Daughter“ for our daughter, I won’t tell her daddy’s got a small part in it and then see what her reaction is when Chapter 10 rolls along. Ah, yes… already planning on how I can mess with my kid’s head before she’s even born.
I’m in the process of compiling/editing my new demo reel with new footage and will then post the main site’s Quicktime link and explain how the choices were made for each scene sometime later this month.

*thumbs up*
referring to your previous post…DON’T CRY PARRYYYY! haha. that was definetely I had to do a double take at.
I saw First Daughter on a plane flight on Continental last week. I was just half-watching the movie when suddenly I blurted out, “Hey, that’s Parry Shen! I read his xanga site!”
sweet! :]
interestingly, First Daughter is also playing on American Airlines to London!
congrats on the DVD and i did watch it in theaters. your daughter… i feel sorry for her already.. haha just kidding!
famous or not… we love ya, parry!! luv the last post!!
i am one of the six people who paid good money to watch it.
Parents can be soooo cruel. The way they play with their children’s minds is…. abominable! ^^

Congrates Parry, that movie only just came out in the cinema in the uk.
=]. First Daughter is all checked out at the Hollywood Video that I work at. It’s been going in out like crazy and tehre’s always someone who ask us if we have one in which we almost never. XD
I think it’s great that people are discussing you on the messageboards.
I think they are just jealous of you. I’m sure anyone thinks they can be an actor and do better and whatnot. You don’t need to be hearing it from them. There will always be people who criticize. Negativity is only negative if you choose to listen to it.
my friend was in this movie.. she was an extra. but got camera time. haha. i swear she has like 20 dvd’s on hand, just to share with people.
i wonder if people in porn mess with their kids they way you will.
i love you Parry Shen
Do you Read these comments?
My girlfriend and I watch Asia Street Comedy just for you we count how many scenes you are in
O MAN WEN U ACCEPTED THOSE AWARDS AND FAKE CRIED I WAS DYING
its really not that simple. OASU [orlando asian students union], we just got together and formed maybe…3 months ago, and 1/2 the schools including mine, are new and in our 1st year with our asian clubs etc, therefore most of us are in the negatives when it comes to funds… =(
!!!!!!!!! YOU ROCK
Buried Alive was the best reality Tv Show haha
have you and your wife decided what to name your daughter??
I saw that movie when it came out in theatres with my 3 friends because you said you were in it. Katie Holmes, homes… whatever… she wasn’t that bad in it. Good job Parry.
I was also one of the 6 people who saw the movie in 2004. I even bought the dvd last week. (I’m a huge fan of Marc Blucas — so I had to have the commentary.) But I did kind of squee! when I saw you on the screen. **smooches**
