On John MacKay, who my played my father in "I Was a Teenage TV Terrorist," and why I'm formally apologizing for how poorly I acted when I moved to New York and asked him for a job.
Link to the full film below if you can take the punishment. The problem scene with my dad is about eight minutes in. You will notice there is no giggling. I did it!
Oh my goodness, you're so good! I burst out giggling at "Now you listen and you listen good" so I feel like I can relate! Bless your on-screen girlfriend. She reminds me of a young Sarah Brightman.
Amazing. I only know you as current-age Adam. Love seeing this time-travelled young-Adam here 😆
Nicely done getting there with the final take ;)
Your story reminds me of all the hilarious and uncontrolled corpsing in anything starring Ricky Gervais. Some of the outtakes from Extras (e.g. with Patrick Stewart) are just gold.
Awwww! Your uncontrollable tee hee’s are very endearing. I was just writing yesterday about my sometimes “inappropriate affect” not often, but has appeared in overwhelming emotional situations. Upturned mouth when I should be somber, trembling rib cage about to bust when I should be delivering sad news. It’s like my brain short circuits and can’t locate the proper response. Needless to say, this is why I’m NOT an actor.🤣 Well done you, for giving your second father a good laugh and also delivering a performance that eventually let your director call it a wrap.
I do not envy laughing when delivering bad news. No, I do not. I hope you didn't just pass that to me. I had (still have) another manifestation. If someone is teaching something very seriously, it makes me want to yell out funny, highly inappropriate class clown things. And giggle. The good news is (I sure hope) that the comments are at least funny from the point of view of my classmates. It might explain some very bad grades over the years.
I too have picked more daisies than I wish to admit. If only we could go back and tell those younger selves to look up and see all the opportunities around us.
While giggling uncontrollably may have left you feeling bad about yourself for a moment, try walking a mile in my shoes. I played right field for three whole seasons.
I felt your pain, Adam; I used to get uncontrollable giggles very regularly in my teens, mostly, of course, in the worst possible moments! Glad you managed it, (I tried to check out the link but it's not available here in England.)
It worked! I was able to remove the film internationally! You've made my day. Seriously, I don't know what is up with that, but be assured you are not missing much. There are other parts coming where the acting is marginally better and the films much better.

If it's not a good time it's a good outtake. (Despite all my efforts current-age and time-travelled are far too similar for my taste.)

Green icing indeed.
I too have picked more daisies than I wish to admit. If only we could go back and tell those younger selves to look up and see all the opportunities around us.
But you know... there's a certain opportunity in picking daisies, too. 🌼

We were on the same team! I was the second baseman letting all of the slow grounders go between my legs into right field. 😀
