Dave and Kyle MacLachlan, as Milagro Men in MANURE
THE SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS -
DAVE ROLLS IN
MANURE!
What a way to make an entrance!
I arrive by parachute in one scene, which required a very comfortable harness and a high tolerance for pinching in a sensitive area.
These are the same wings used by the ladies of Victoria’s Secret.
I’m wearing a secret embrace camisole under my suit.
I’m the one dangling like a piece of meat in the upper left corner. Kyle MacLachlan is in the middle, and Ken Johnson is to the right. We dropped in to the field about ten or twelve times. I can now tell all my fans, “Yes - I do my own stunts.”
If you’d like to read more, and see some truly amazing photos, check out the blog of cinematographer David Mullen, who wrote about his experience on set with the RED ONE camera.
I worked four weeks on this film, playing Kyle MacLachlan’s right hand man throughout the movie. It was a genuine thrill to be on set with so many talented, generous, and hard-working people. Many of that same crew continued to work on “Stay Cool”, another Polish Brothers film which started shooting just three weeks after “Manure” wrapped.
Best wrap party you could ask for!
Billy Bob Thornton and his band The Boxmasters did two kick ass sets to start their tour. Catch them if you can, they rock.
