Badger in The Wild Wild West:
| August 4th - 7th and August 10th - 11th (1998) | ||
|
I worked on the Warner Bros. feature The Wild Wild West, starring Will Smith as James West (!), Kevin Klein as Artemus Gordon, Kenneth Branaugh as Dr. Loveless (in a wheelchair, with an American souther dialect so thick [on set] as nearly to be unintelligible) and Salma Hayek. |

During the scene (prelude to the climax in which Loveless reveals his Big Plan) is also Ian Abercrombie who played Mr. Pitt (Elaine's boss for a season) on Seinfeld, and can be seen in many commercials.
Ian was very pleasant and hung out with the background talent. The scene took three weeks to shoot, and to my astonishment (upon seeing the completed film), I am quite visible!

When Kenneth Branaugh is distracted by disguised (as a belly-dancer) Will Smith, there is a shot or two that is a close up of Branaugh with Smith's hands placing a length of silk about Branaugh's neck. Directly between them in the top row of the bleachers… is me. And my friend Ken Moore, sitting at my left (screen right). He and I are silhouetted by the backlight, but there's no mistaking that it is Ken and me. |
