Here\u2019s what happened on COMPUTER KILLER, an episode on Hawaii Five-O, my first TV show.<\/p>\n
I was appearing in Taming Of The Shrew in Kennedy Theatre at the U. of Hawaii, curtain was 7:30. I got the Five-O job, a bailiff, with a 6:30 call. Plenty of time. The episode was centered around a trial and a key witness so there were a lot of courtroom scenes, with setups for a lot of different people, the judge, the attorneys, McGarrett, Dano, the perp, etc., and that took an enormous amount of time. Toward evening there was still a lot to do and I was getting worried about my show at Kennedy, so I asked Glenn Cannon, who was playing the prosecutor, John Manicote, and who had also directed Taming Of The Shrew, and who was on set, what to do\u2026and he shrugged!\u2026and then he said to call the theatre to alert them, and to speak to, I think, the PM. I did, and there was nothing to be done, but he told me they would provide a car and driver to take me to the theatre as soon as I was done. They did, I was late, but the show went on, though I performed on fumes. A thirteen hour shooting day will do that to you. Television trumps theatre. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
