BMA

I've been in showbiz since i started eating bananas, and I've done a little of everything. I have been a comedy writer, talent scout, cameramonkey, best boy, a gaffer,(and I still don't know what that is) and even a director. But it was when I was an acting coach for Manis the orangutan, who is best known for his role as Clyde in Every Which Way But Loose, that I ran into Joss Whedon. We instantly became friends and I showed him the 'biz'. He was an eager young fellow who had a knack for words and a interest in the supernatural and religion. My interests were of bananas and women who only shave one leg. It wasn't long before the student surpassed the teacher and I was working for him.

I got started working for Joss as a food tester on the set of Buffy, and quickly worked my way up to be his assistant. I still like to taste his food though. I knew I had "made it" when I got my own cubicle                                               

I spent the first year just clinging to his coattails......or arm, leg, or in some way hanging on him. We went everywhere together.

It was thrilling to work with Joss and all those fine actresses........oh..and..um...actors. They used to always say I had ALOT of Charisma...

...but I always considered myself a Gellar feller.

The cast and crew contributed a lot of the success of the show to the patting of my butt. They said it was like rubbing Buddha's belly.....



                              ...but firmer

David and I were like brothers. We talked alot,                      and like to hang out,                           
party together,
                                     even  relax after a long day of shooting.

Joss allowed me some creative liberties along the way. I helped direct...           
I helped develop some of the characters...

I co-wrote the script for the Buffy vs. Dracula episode (mainly Xander's role), and I even landed a major role on one episode of Angel.
