Gee it brings back to mind the first day of costume fittings for this with Janey. We get into a little room in the cavernous Western Costumes. The costume crew comes in with all the Mr Wu stuff. I look in awe at all the old stuff that Chinamens before me wore at great suffering lengths. Lot of light chatter. Hahaha. Hehehe. Yeah isnt this great. David wanted this, lets try that. Nonono that goes over that. Oh hes a pro he doesnt need his "privacy". Just get em on. ]

However their is a undertow to all of this. When Janey says the name "David" the walls begin to reverberate and eyes become sharper. There is a pause and some quiet. Like that music in Jaws.
We all know we are embarking on something special. They are treating me special. It is a ritual we are performing. Not your usual "in and out" I just went through on ER.
Amongst all this casual chatter we know we are digging here for gold. That something is happening but you dont know what it is do you Mr Wu?
Mr Wu has no lines in the first script. But everyone is treating the character of Wu as something special. I look at the racks of ladies VIctorian dresses and cowboy boots.
I wonder what tomorow brings. I leave in my 10 year old Camry kept in good shape over the years of traveling to one audition after another. My lady friend who is tired of riding in the same old thing says "well if this goes good lets get something new". I look in the rearview mirror and promise myself nothing.

"Mr. Wu" episode in the first season of Deadwood, that scene with McShane was the single craziest thing on TV ever! It was the reason I started watching the show. I have never seen anything like that, and I doubt I ever will. Thank you, Keone and bravo!

Happy New Year, Keone. I watch Numb3rs and look forward to seeing you tonight. I loved your part on The Unit, too.

Hey Keone, good to hear from you. Glad to see that you're keeping busy, and I'll watch numbers to keep an eye on you. Early Happy New Years to you. How's Gerry doing anyway? Back to her stand up comedy?

That's the funniest thing I've read all day.

Haysbert has a nice voice. I noticed that about him way back in Love Field.

However, after all those All State commercials where he's walking down a sidewalk just before an accident happens, if I'm ever driving my car and see Mr. Haysbert, I'll have a panic attack.
