Stunt Double

From the Archives:

Anybody who knows me personally knows there has been kind of running joke about my *alleged* resemblance to a certain actor…Well a few years back I had to escort a client to what was at that time the reception to the wedding of the year.   Security was pretty tight with multiple checkpoints and roadblocks leading up to the site of the event.  The paparazzi took advantage as best they could of the roadblocks and scrambled over themselves to get shots of whoever they could arriving.    It was a little bit of a feeding frenzy as one shout of recognition lead to 100 flashbulbs going off at once.  Mistakes are bound to happen and well…
…click HERE and scroll thru the first couple of arrival photos, you’ll see what I mean =)
