A CYNOPSIS MESSAGE FROM truTV
The New truTV: All New Line-Up. WAY MORE FUN.
A hat hanging on the wall, a collection on event passes or a Stress Ball in the shape of a head so that when you squeeze it the eyes bulge out…A couple of weeks ago we asked our readers "What are three fun things you have in your office or bring with you on set?” Here is what a few of you had to say…
- "I always bring pictures of my wife and kids – the seven-year-old twins and my 22-year-old – to the set." Dennis Quaid, Actor, The Art of More, on Crackle
- "A framed T-Shirt from the first production I ever did, which was a concert For the Children of Chernobyl. Also, a pillow and a change of clothes in case it gets too late to go home during production. Finally, a jar for money, if anyone wants to augment the production budgets." Ian Stewart, President, Done + Dusted
- "I have a Conan O’Brien face mask. It’s hilarious. It was a holiday gift from Team Coco and I treasure it!" Amber J. Lawson, CEO, Comedy Gives Back
- "A ball of tungsten, one of the most dense metals you can get. It’s twice as heavy as iron and people are surprised when they try to pick it up. A Matryoshka Russian nesting doll, because they’re fun to play with. And magnetic Buckyballs, which are fun, too." Eric Grab, CTO, NeuLion
- "3D glasses from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab, a Transformers lunch box, a juggling ball set…and about 20 pairs of shoes." Mary Bender, Director of Production Management & Operations, PBS
- "When I was first starting out as an actor, I had a rubber chicken named Irving that I would hide somewhere on every set. I got away with it until I hid Irving in the well during a production of Shenandoah." Steven Wishnoff, VP Acquisitions and Development, Borgasmord Productions
Now that we know what you keep in your office, we want to know “What are the 3 must- haves in your purse or wallet?” Don’t miss out on all of the fun: send your responses to [email protected]
