Holy shit! I saw a real, live, Ned Beatty today! I can't tell you how happy that makes me. Of course the reason I got just a glimpse of one of America's finest and most enduring character actors is because he has a role in the new Micheal Winterbottom film, The Killer Inside Me, which is filming in Tulsa this week. They were setting up shots today, down town, so on my lunch break I ran home, grabbed my camera, and went to see if I could get some snaps.

They had Boston Ave. somewhat cordoned off to shoot around the Atlas building. I ingratiated myself with the KJRH news crew, and when it became apparent I wasn't with Channel 2, I told the production assistant I was with The TCC Connection. After a radio check from another PA, I was OK for being on the street for a bit. Unfortunately I only had 15 minutes before I had to go back to work. But I got a couple of cool shots, including a few of Casey Affleck and NED MOTHERFUCKING BEATTY sitting in the back of a period vehicle getting ready to shoot a take. I got a couple of other bits as well, and I plan on going back tomorrow to see who/what I can catch on my lunch hour.
