My Camaro Is A Bigger TV Star Than Me - Page 5 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I had a great time being an "extra" (background) for a TV show back in the '90s called "Jake and the Fatman." I was stationed at Hickam AFB, Hawaii, and saw an ad in the paper for "extras" one Saturday morning. My daughter, being the smart a$$ she was back then, said, Yea Dad, like they really need an old Grey haired geezer," so I had to prove her wrong. I had a great boss that would let me take Leave on short notice and I ended up in 6 episodes (3 as an airline pilot, a Doctor, a waiter, and in a bunch of court room scenes). Got paid $55.00 for each day and all the food I could eat. The catering on those sets are fantastic!!! I almost got my 1986 Olds 442 in one episode, but they decided it looked like a cop car (a lot of HPD officers use their own cars for patrol duty and there were a lot of Black Olds 442s being used back then). Anyway, a lot of great memories playing TV star (?).

Pretty cool ... There is a company here in NY that contacted me about my Chopper and they asked what else I owned and I told them they were very interested in maybe using my Bike as well as my Camaro but I will not let anyone else touch or move either one around to make a shot or a scene . NO WAY ...

Case in point. My car in 2 Fast 2 Furious

The director and I even came over for some photos.

Thats awesome.
