SHARK #2
James Woods is the fuckin' man. Sure, he's old, has a huge gut and according to a fellow background artist, "looks like a pervert," it doesn't matter. He does things his way and he isn't ashamed to admit it.
We were sent to the Los Angeles Superior Court building in downtown LA this time around. As I was hanging out during the scene, a young lady started to tell me and another guy what a pervert James Woods is. "A pervert? What do you mean?" I asked, wondering if I could be a pervert myself.
"Well, first of all, he just looks like a pervert to me. He's old, scraggly, and he looks, well, he just looks like a pervert," she says. Being the devil's advocate, I needed to explore this further, so I asked her to continue. "My friend worked Shark once, and she told me that James Woods told her he just got a new camera so could he take some pictures of her to test it out. That's so perverted!" she exclaimed.
Wow. I gotta remember that I thought to myself. Does that actually work, or do you need to be a famous actor making millions of dollars? I didn't care, I will use it someday. "To top it all off, he has a 19 year old girlfriend!"
"No fuckin' way," I said, though I considered the possibility. Hell, if you're the fuckin' man, why not? Who's gonna tell you it's not right? "Well, maybe she's mature for her age. Besides, no one gives Hugh Hefner shit about his girlfriends." I knew this wasn't true, but I wanted to believe it.
I've always worried about how people perceive me. I suppose that fault is in us all, but I notice that some people care less than others. I've always admired how people can just say "fuck you" and go about their business. I'd always be afraid someone would think I'm a schmuck. But when you think about it, other people's opinions really won't do you much damage in Hollywood (unless you're a politician).
As we stared at James Woods, he began noticing a fine young blond with a rack you could stare at for some time. Shit, maybe James Woods is a pervert? But then again, maybe it is I? Because I was doing the same thing he was.
We were then moved to Cicada for another scene. There, I noticed another young blond who seemed younger than most of the other background actors. I suspected she was James Woods girlfriend because a) she looked 19 and b) she had that air of someone you shouldn't fuck with because she knew someone important.
Nevertheless, she was very nice and began talking to a gentleman seated at the table next to hers. She was marveling at how delicious her pasta salad was and the gentleman thought this could be a chance for him to turn his seat around and engage her in further conversation.
James Woods must have the best girlfriend defense radar, because as soon as the gentleman did this, I heard James Woods calling out for his girl. "Ashley? Ashley?! Where are you baby?"
"I'm right over here darling. I'm just eating this wonderful salad I got a few blocks down," she answered. At that point, I did not look at Ashley or James Woods, but at the gentleman who became suddenly uncomfortable in the chair that seemed a little too small for him. Even though I didn't look at James Woods, I could see that his eyes were planted on the gentleman and I wondered if James Woods ever had a background player kicked off the set for talking to his girlfriend.
During another scene at a restaurant table with Janelle (a young woman I met on Carpoolers and who mentioned I needed to check out Portos for the best cakes), I was seated opposite another beautiful young lady who could not help but describe what she saw this afternoon. Apparently, the busty young blond who James Woods and I had our eyes fixed on, was seen entering James Woods' trailer and shutting the door behind her. She then turned to look at one of the ADs who saw the action, but all he could do was look to the side, frown and shrug his shoulders.
Looking back, I wish I would have told James that I had a new camera that I wanted to show him. There were pictures I was testing out on the young, busty blond entering his trailer and closing the door right behind her.
"James," I would say, "do you think Ashley might be interested in seeing how crisp these images are?"

James Woods is my hero. I loved that vampire movie that he did.
