Time to Rock and Roll – The Good Guys and Friday Night Lights
No Comments »Posted by Tripp under Film & TV Stuff
Well, I guess it is time to get started blogging for myself, about things I would like to share with people in my life and welcome those who are not acquainted with my awesomeness. JK.
Lately I have been hanging with the wife and kids and we are getting ready to head out on a small vacation. My Dad and I have been busy trying to get extra roles on TV shows being filmed here in Big-D. We had our first luck with Fox’s new show, “The Good Guys” (Links and Video of our episode below). We both made it onto episode 7 of season one. I was called back for a photo double role as a redneck on episode 8, but my scene got cut. Good thing I took pictures!!!
I was born to play a redneck on TV! Well, after about 45 minutes in make-up chatting it up with Collin Hanks (cough…cough name drop), I was driven down to the set. 15 minutes of shooting later I was done. Easiest money I ever made. I only found out recently that my scene was cut. 
It’s all good, I’ll try to get on the show again when they pick up shooting for next season in late August. Just in case you were wondering, those are not real tattoos, those are movie magic tattoos.
My dad and I got another call from the casting company for the Fox show Friday Night Lights. We decided to brave the 100 degree weather in order to be extras on this show.
Now our parts weren’t life changing, but it was cool being on a different set for another TV show. This episode is for the finale of the entire series that will air next fall. I think the show had a good 5 to 6 season run. My dad almost was upgraded on set to be a police officer, but they didn’t want to split us up so we wouldn’t be alone during shooting.
My dad was completely bummed out.
We had a blast together and yet we were filming from 5:00 pm through 3:30 am. It was brutal, but still fun. We met some great people and my dad is going to audition for an upcoming role in an independent feature film!
