Sooooooo ... Indecent Proposal is currently playing on HBO, cue Miso checkin:
And HOLY CRAPSICLES! I forgot that Seymour Cassel was in this!!
You know who he is ... he's that guy that's been in EVVERYTHINNNGGG!!
Per Wiki:
Cassel was born in Detroit, Michigan, the son of Pancretia Ann (née Kearney) and Seymour Joseph Cassel.[1]
Cassel's early career was tied to fellow actor John Cassavetes. He made his movie debut in Cassavetes' first film, Shadows, on which he also served as associate producer. In 1961 he co-starred with Cassavetes in Too Late Blues and 1962's The Webster Boy. He also appeared in The Lloyd Bridges Show in an acclaimed episode "A Pair of Boots" directed by his friend Cassavetes. Cassel appeared on such popular programs as Twelve O'Clock High, Combat! and The F.B.I.. He also appeared as Colonel Gumm's henchman, "Cancelled" in the 1960s "Batman" tv episode, "A Piece of the Action", which also introduced Van Williams and Bruce Lee as The Green Hornet and Kato respectively.
In 1968, Cassel was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Chet in John Cassavetes's Faces. Other collaborations with Cassavetes included a starring role with Gena Rowlands in Minnie and Moskowitz, supporting roles in The Killing of a Chinese Bookie and Love Streams, and a cameo appearance in Opening Night. Having also appeared in major Hollywood productions such as Dick Tracy and Indecent Proposal, Cassel has always been very supportive of the American independent film community, especially in the wake of Cassavetes' death. Cassel had a small role in Steve Buscemi's directorial debut Trees Lounge and appeared in three films by Wes Anderson: Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic. Cassel appeared for four seasons in comedian Tracey Ullman's hit television series, Tracey Takes On....
In 2006, he co-starred in the NBC TV series Heist. In September 2007, Cassell was a candidate for national president of the Screen Actors Guild, along with Charley M. De La Peña, Alan Rosenberg (incumbent), and Barry Simmonds.
In 2009 Cassell was once again a candidate for national president of the Screen Actors Guild along with Anne Marie Johnson and Ken Howard. Howard was the eventual winner and is current President of the Screen Actors Guild.
In the 2007 Biography Slash, the former Guns N' Roses guitarist Saul Hudson and friend of Cassel's son, credited Cassel with giving him the nickname "Slash" because he was always on the go zipping from one place to another and never sitting still.
Yeah INSANNNEEE!! And so RANDOM that I got to hang out with him last year. I was picking up blankets from itsthesheets.com - and he's totally the dudes neighbor. Small. Small. Small. World.
I literally only had like :20 of usable footage. He is a DIRTY DIRTY DIRTY MOFO!! And trust, I am too ... but my FlipCam is so small, he had no idea I was even recording half of the conversation. Dude, the things he was telling me that he did with x actress and x actress and her friends, and the rack on this one because she didn't have kids, and this one's vagina is still ripe ... I mean ... NO FILTER!!! I completely respected his wishes, as again - he didn't even sign a release ... he just trusted the fact that he knew I wouldn't sell him down the river. It's not my style either way ... good karma, FTW! But holy hell batman ... Seymour is seriously one of the coolest people I have ever met. For real.
Oh yeah, and back to the movie ... I wouldn't need a million dollars to have sex with Robert Redford. Dude, I'd put out for him in .25 seconds. He's STILL hot!!
People act so illogical when they're in love. It's sincerely the ultimate variable. *sigh*
But hey, Robert ... I live in Hollywood ... and my number is 3.2.3. wait, are you on twitter? or even better ... want some uh, social media consulting. RAAWWRRRRRRRR =)
Down Jen ... down
