Gaunt Gary: STAR TREK

When I was on the road as a stand-up comedian, I dreamed of being a hot-shot pool player who also did stand-up. On the set of “Star Trek” I practiced my one cool shot all during lunch. Finally, at the end of the day, The Director set up a shot, lit it, and told me to sink a cross-bank shot. “But that’s not my-!” “We’re lit for this shot.” Dutifully, I banked the ball into the hole, the lights went out and two guys with thick work gloves carted away the table. This picture was taken right before that last shot and I was wrapped. Another Actor’s Dream denied.
