In Raiders of the Lost Ark I was a warehouse man who paints the stencil number on the last crate at the end of the film. I did this on Second Unit under Frank Marshall's direction but Steven Spielberg had to come over from the main set to watch me do this before he would allow it to be filmed. My hand is now famous. I think that was my left hand as I write left-handed. My right hand was already famous for shaking hands 79 times with actor Warren Beatty over two days whilst filming on Reds in 1979. Ha! Ha! He was also the director of that film. A very pleasant man also to work with. One of the best! On Temple of Doom I was a night club guest at the beginning and also played a musician who runs into the path of the giant gong which Harrison is hiding behind as he makes his escape from the club. This wasn't easy as the floor was covered with balloons and they were very difficult to run over, so in the end I had to dive in front of the gong otherwise it would have hit me!. You can just see a blur of a figure in the film doing this. That was me! phew! I was also one of two night club guests who had to kick the diamond away from Kate Capshaw as she is on the floor during the guests all panicking to escape. My friend and fellow actor Lenny Bond was the other guest and we had to pass each other running backwards and forwards across the set catching the diamond with our feet just as she was about to pick it up. But we had to make it look natural not as if were playing football with each other. It was delicate scene to do because you had to be careful you didn't trip over Kate or tread on her fingers as others were running past trying to escape and could have pushed you into her. She was Steven Spielberg's wife (I think they were married at that time?) and we didn't want him coming after us...ha! ha!...You might say that it was 'A Close Encounter'...if you get my drift. (Editor’s note: Spielberg and Capshaw met thanks to this movie and got married after the movie) In The Last Crusade I was just a Nazi Customs official at the airship booking desk. Nothing special.
