Weekly Update:
Spent a couple of days on the set of a semi-new show called The First Family which is a sitcom based on the current President. The episode seemed pretty funny and I hope the show finds a bigger audience than it currently has. While there, got some pics with some folks on the show and/or guesting on it:
*Michael D. Roberts - lot of TV and film but currently the butler on the show and a terrific guy!
*Christopher B. Duncan - plays POTUS on the show and a cool guy.
*Jackee Harry - lot of shows like "227" and super nice.
*F. William Parker - great character actor a nice guy.
*Hal Williams - also from "227" and a great talent.
*Shaun Brown - new on the scene but has been in "Newsroom" and a guest on this show, great guy.
*Mary Passeri - on the show and very funny as well as sweet.
*John Witherspoon - classic funny man from the "Friday" movie and nice guy.
*Lee Reherman - from the show and a nice guy.
*John Eric Bentley - also from the show and a nice guy.
*Khylin Rhambo - from the upcoming movie "Ender's Game" and a cool guy.
*Kellita Smith - best known from "The Bernie Mac" show and very sweet.

At the movies:No surprises this weekend as the much anticipated sequel to the very successful reboot of the original Star Trek franchise ... Star Trek: Into Darkness takes the crown with a nice 84.1 million. Big drop to #2 is "Iron Man 3" with another 35.2 mil as it is now 337.1 mil cume for domestic box office. Surprise drop to #3 is "The Great Gatsby" with 23.4 mil but enough to get it within striking distance to 100 mil cume. Holding on to the #4 spot is "Pain & Gain" with 3.1 mil. Rounding off the top 5 and still on the charts after 9 weeks is "The Croods" with 2.8 mil as it will fall short of 200 mil, hovering around 180 or so.

This is a cool one ... for me anyway ... Top 10 Current Tabletop Role-Playing Games (from 2012) ... 10) Rifts - Fantasy game that involves multiple historical eras, never really played because the concept didn't appeal to me ... it was Rifts in Time more-or-less. 9) World of Darkness - looks like Vampires and never even heard of this one! 8) Mutants & Masterminds - Looks like a superhero type of game like one I used to play called Champions and it was overly detailed for a comic-book theme. 7) Traveller - no clue, never heard of it and it looks pretty boring. 6) Call of Cthulhu - deals with the horror HP Lovecraft storyline of monsters and this is a pretty fun game dealing in the sort of 1930's time frame. 5) Hackmaster - looks like a spoof of the original Dungeons and Dragons ... and kind of lame. 4) GURPS - which stands for Generic Universal Role-Playing System and never got into it because ... its generic?! 3) Savage Worlds - another one I have never heard of ... where are they getting these things from!? 2) Pathfinder - looks like an expansion/spin-off from DnD ... and why? 1) Dungeons & Dragons (pictured) - this should be the #1 game since it did pretty much start all RPG's and eventually the basis to MMO's on the computer. Still holds up today.
