TRAUMA Premiere, 20 Sep 09

[Richard B the EMT]

The last time I heard of someone from real life portraying someone in "reel" life was the Fire Fighter "Mike" on "Emergency!" He actually was an Engine Motor Pump Operator for the LACoFD, and was used to drive the studio "Engine 51", as he already was licensed to drive that type vehicle. Saved the studio money by doing that.

I am with you there squint - it's cold and rainy here and threatening of snow. Yes, I think California sounds quite nice about now. One problem, your e-mail doesn't work very well. Might have to give them another

Hey anyone can PM me ... they just have to be a member of EMT city and hey Admin would like that to increase our membership

Only one problem ... I WAS thrown out of Texas after EMStock and Dust as the evidence

Yeah, I'd volunteer too, but I'm pretty sure I have warrants out in California.

Woot for technology. I'm sitting @ a general store, in the middle of nowhere, town w/ like 12 ppl. All b/c there was a cell tower next to a barn a mile back.

Anyhoo... I think he was chosen to be the driver on the TV series b/c he held a Screen Actors Guild card. Just happened to fit the part they needed.

You're both right, he was a FF who also had a SAG card. (How Hollywood) If I recall correctly he eventually retired as a Deputy Chief or some other big wig with collar brass.

Anyone can get one for a simple $2500 a year.. So.. If I give up my country club dues, I could join the SAG.

My actor friend john is in the same SAG chapter as Randy Mantooth
