smoke, hat, Me and My Dreamgirl, ICKIES, Him

Crockett, Tubbs, and... Zetts?

With the release of Season 5, my episode of Miami Vice, "Miracle Man", finally came to DVD.


The Scene:
Ext: Day. A playground.  Camera pans down to see a young drug dealer (yours truly, at age 18, still believing he's going to grow up to be James Dean) with a black afro & wearing a yellow tie muscle shirt; talking to some other Kid who isn't very important and has no lines.

Mickey Zetts (as the drug dealing, afro wearing kid)
Hey Kid. Check this out, and the price is right. We are talking some righteous crank. Really take you all the way up...
 
Suddenly a Hispanic man in a superhero outfit (& who on the day of shooting couldn't remember his one line) appears from around the corner...
 
Hispanic Superhero Dude
Up? You mean drugs?
 
Mickey Zetts (still portraying the drug dealing, afro wearing kid)
It's Miracle Man! Let's split!!
 
Mickey and the other kid (who's name got listed in the final credits whilst mine DID NOT) run off; leaving the Hispanic Superhero dazed and confused about his career choices.
---------------------------------------
Shortly after this, I gave up acting, the color yellow and crank.

You're not going to ask anyone to bring a VCR to the party tomorrow, right?

I think we're going to have to be treated to this stellar display of Brandoesque precocity tomorrow morning :)

Did you get your SAG card for this?

Funny you should mention it, because I do have it on videotape (along with some other appearances I did on television) all cued up and ready to go!
Of course, this means finding and hooking up the VCR... :(
I waived getting my SAG card through the Taft-Hartley. Glad I did, I'd have been paying union dues to NOT work in other things I auditioned for (but didn't get) like Psycho 4 and Edward Scissorhands.

I was up for the part of young Norman Bates.(for realz)
Lost it to Henry Thomas (kid from ET).
I had a pretty fragile ego back then, so I didn't stay an "actoid" much longer after that.

Considering how dreadful Henry Thomas was in that movie, I'm stunned that you didn't get the part.
On the other hand, considering how bad it was (and how cool it could have been), I'm rather glad for you.

Actually, I was up for the Anthony Michael Hall part, believe it or not.
I actually didn't care about the audition at the time because my agent told me it was just some horror movie with the guy from 21 Jump Street.
It's sort of a funny story I'll tell you manana.
I'm actually a pretty HORRIBLE actor (I hate learning lines) so the theatrical world ain't missing much. ;-)
