    Charlie Wilson's War movie shoot...


    So the shoot in LA went great!!!!!! I don't have stardust in my eyes or anything (as most of you know) but I did hang out with some stars.

    Tom Hanks. Very nice and regular guy. An incredible ability to talk, be friendly with everyone who came up to him then, in a instant turn into his character, walk on set and perform. Very focused.

    Amy Adams. Was also a regular person who got all upset at the fact that the guy who shot those students at VT was on the front page of a newspaper. She was really pissed!!! She looks like a shorter Nicole Kidman, very attractive in an elegant way. A true star.

    Mike Nichols (Director). I got to hang out with him the most. He was one of the nicest people I have ever met. For instance, he is the main MAN on set. People run around for him whenever he says "run around for me" if you know what I mean. He was so kind that he kept asking me if there was anything he could get me, was I warm enough, was I comfortable, etc. A true gentleman of the highest caliber. Upon leaving the set he pulled me off and said "Kurt, what is your full name"? I said Kurt Yaeger. He said is that your full name. To which I replied 'Kurt Edward Yaeger". Then he looked me in the eyes and said "I'll remember that", patted me on the shoulder and wished me well. I mean hell, this is a major Hollywood player taking the time out of his day to make me feel welcome, amazing. Three cheers.

    To all the extras and other actors I met. Mostly everyone was incredible!!! Great spirit, great attitude, amazing group of people.

    To the staff, especially the make-up department all I can say is WOW. These people made every possible consideration their highest priority for us. Again amazing people!!!!

    I know it sounds like I am blowing smoke up their a$$es but you who know me wouldn't hold back if they were a sack of dicks. I'd say so. However, they were really all, to my surprise, very considerate and nice!!!!

    Love the experience and thank you all, hope to work with you all soon.
