You forgot the fact that your cousin (and my son) Nathan has a bit part in the film (and that Lilly & I were invited to be in the bar/restaurant scene but sadly didn't follow through and actually drive to Albany...boohoo...)

Hey - this is great! :) I enjoyed reading all of your fun facts (especially the one where you say I'm brilliant :D
I am so grateful for your involvement in the film as well, even though you "hated" making it. Good thing you're not in the film industry, as this really was the most relaxed and fun production I have ever worked on.
You of course had several other jobs on set, including all the production sound in addition to being the official "breast binder" for the scenes where I play Male Jamie. That was the toughest job of all!
Of course, Huey can not really meow on cue - he just meows so much that it's a very convincing illusion.
I just watched the trailer and the part where Jamie is walking on paint cans will probably end up being the most I will laugh all day.
