It was way cool.
I didn't ever get a picture with Bill, which is fine. We only saw him on set, and I wasn't going to bother him. That's me with the director in one of those pics above. That was at lunch at Belmont. Got to meet his wife, who is also in the film, and his daughters. Super nice guy. Couldn't have been nicer. My buddy Chris, one of the first storyboards he did, about a decade ago, was for a Mexican music video. Ted directed that, one of his first jobs. Though it was obviously non-Union and I don't think either one of them got paid. But he kept the relationship. Ted has done a lot of videos and commercials, but this was the first of his scripts to get produced. He called up Chris, and asked him to do the storyboards.
I did have Bill Murray's iPod in my hand at one point, and for half a second thought about keeping it. But, I'm not that guy. The closest I came to meeting him was in Brooklyn, in between set ups. I was in one of tents, with headphones on, listening to the dialogue. He came over, there were only a few of us in there, eating cashews. He offered them to me, to everybody. I declined. I am deathly allergic to nuts. If I had eaten even one, I would have to be rushed to the hospital. For a FEW seconds, I contemplated just taking a handful and pounding them. Everybody has to die of something, I was trying to reason with myself, and I figured, Hell, what's cooler than being "killed by" Bill Murray?
But I declined the cashews.
