My Role on "Nightmare on Elm Street"

If you remember from my video on set of “sin bin” the movie that just filmed here in chicago (btw, great wrap party this wknd at rockit Wrigley cast & crew!), I love playing a small role when tv & film projects come to chicago! The biggest movie project that ever let me come on, and my most difficult auditioning/filming experience yet, is finally out, and its “nightmare on elm street!”

Oddly enough, I won’t be able to see it, because I am afraid of scary movies. I know, lame. So please look for me as the cop that finds lead actress Katie Cassidy post freddy attack (pic of us above is actually me hungover after that “hills” episode I was in that filmed the night before & my buddy Katie at a coach superbowl party in miami).

So although my scene is short, I say it was difficult because I had to audition at tp&r casting 3 times for the same part before they decided on it, as apparently the director was very serious about it?  Also tough, I was on set in full heavy & hot cop gear on a super steamy day not allowed to sweat in a scene where I had to walk down a super creepy long dark hallway swat style looking for a dead body finding the most gory scene ever w/katie ripped up all over the place easily acting like it was real (because it felt that way!) delivering my lines freaked out! (but not because I was a cop?)

Don’t get me wrong- im absolutely not complaining about it- I’m actually looking celebrating it all! So blessed to even be a part of the magic- this was and is one of my greatest joys that I hope I can keep doing if people will continue having me!  Also just happy to be a part of any kind of film projects coming to chicago in any way as not only is it fun, but these projects have been bringing our state about $141 million a year!

this particular group Platinum Dunes chose to film in Illinois because of pleasurable filming experiences in the state when the company produced The Amityville Horror and The Unborn. They probably also came because our film office gave them a thirty percent tax break for filming in the state. They filmed in chicago, Arlington Heights, Barrington, Cicero, Elgin, Elk Grove Village, Lake Forest, Orland Park,… so we are definitely all in this together, and need to thank all who help make all of these wonderful opportunities for all of us possible! Thank you!
