ATTENTION! We now have a total of 2032 sigs! Plus, there's something important that I want to share...
A while back, Marvel Comics was hosting a contest. The Grand Prize? A chance to win a walk-on role in an upcoming Marvel feature film! When I first heard about it, I punched in my name, address, and the usual info into the online entry form. I didn't really expect to win anything, but I thought I'd just do it for a laugh.
Well, I think I can honestly state that what happened a few months later was the last thing I ever expected.
With a simple phone call, I received the news that I was the Grand Prize winner of Marvel's "Be In a Marvel Movie Sweepstakes!" Yes, you're reading this right, folks. Through a sheer tweak of luck, I won the opportunity to be in a movie featuring one of Marvel's mightiest!
Of course, there was a considerable delay in determining which film I was going to be in, in part because of the infamous Writer's Strike that put Tinseltown in a chokehold for the good part of a few months. Still, the Sweepstakes people were good enough to keep me in the loop during that time, and I even received a consolation package in the mail for my patience.
But now the wait is over -- a few days ago, I received another phone call, informing me that the film I'm going to be in is --
IRON MAN 2!
Yep, looks like me an' Shellhead are gonna be sharing some screentime. And there are a lot of other possibilities running through my head right now...
