A Letter To Hugh Jackman

Dear Hugh Jackman,
I see we still are at this impasse... I want you to follow me on Twitter, and you still haven't followed me on Twitter. I'm not sure what more I have to do. It's not like I'm gonna go single white female on you... right away. I mean, I understand you are a very important man, singing and dancing and clawing your way through life, but Hugh, what's a man without friends. Friends who will let you star in their web series musical and not even make you audition. Trust me, I wouldn't do that for anyone, just ask Patrick Duffy. No Hugh, when I look at you I see a guy who's got his shit together, a guy I could have a drink with, a guy my girlfriend would push me off a cliff for, but most importantly I see a guy who needs to follow me on Twitter. Just think about how much fun we could have.... and no, you can't meet my girlfriend. Till next time, your pal,

Changes... Sketches... Chachi Arcola...

So, for those 3 of you who actually go to my website, (www.jlpfilms.com) I'm sure you've noticed that the site basically looks like crap right now. I want to apologize to you for that, but I am in the middle of having the site re-modeled. Once completed, I will let you all know, so you can give me feedback on it. So please, bear with me.


In the mean time, let’s talk shop. I had the privilege of working with In Rare Form again last week. We shot a new sketch video based on their improv comedy, so look for that to hit the inter webs later this week. Once again, I continue to be amazed at how awesome those guys can be. Hopefully, you should see more collaboration with those guys real soon.

You want more celebrity sightings, you got'em. I was having breakfast at Bob's Big Boy in Burbank, when Heather looks up and says, "There's Scott Baio." I turned and sure enough, there he was... and no, he didn't ask me for any Raspberry syrup. He was with his family and true to my code of conduct; I don't bother actors that are out and about unless they are named Patrick Duffy. This is actually the second know actor I've seen at Bob's. A few months back, I ran into Mathew Lillard there as well. Of course Bob's is just across from Warner Brothers and right down from NBC, so I imagine if I went there more often, I would see a lot of different folks.

Anyway, that's all I got for now. Keep an eye out for iConnect from In Rare Form; it should be coming to the Youtubes very soon.

Patrick Duffy, IHOP, and Raspberry Syrup

So I’m sitting at the IHOP at 2 in the morning, when I look up and who do I see walking toward me… Patrick flippin Duffy. That’s right kids, Bobby Ewing. So, I’m eating my Country Fried Steak and Eggs, and he walks up and he’s like, “Can I use your raspberry syrup, mines all out.” So I’m sitting here thinking to myself, "This is Patrick Duffy, this is the only man who could ever stand up to J.R." This is the man who had to suffer through being married to Suzanne Somers for 6 seasons. So he asks me for my syrup so naturally I’m like, “Hell no Patrick Duffy, get your own damn syrup, this is mine.” He looks at me, and he’s like, “Seriously?” and I was like, “Yeah, seriously. Now get on back to your table, I’m trying to eat here.”

What can I say, that was so satisfying. Every so often he would look over at me, and he just seemed so sad, and of course I didn’t even use the raspberry syrup. Who does? That stuff is nasty.

So as I went to pay, I noticed he was staring at me again. So as I signed my Credit card slip, I signed my name on a random piece of paper, walked over to his table and slapped it down in front of him and said, “I noticed you kept staring at me Patrick Duffy. Even though the sign on the door says “No Pictures, No Autographs” I decided to give it to you anyway.” Then I smiled at him, turned back to my friends and walked out. Just think... I just made Patrick Duffy’s night.
