Had a contractor come in this morning and say " I recognize you, you're a movie star!".
Huh? :Oops:
Turns out I'm on YouTube in a promo video for my employer.
I'm NOT trying to promote this place (they don't need my help) but if you're interested:
Welcome to The Port of Port Arthur, Texas - YouTube
Look about 3:23. And if you cant figure out who I am, hint... I'm head of security.

Need to be careful about this one, as here in Australia that word is slang/derogatory to the Aboriginals, as some call them Coons (to the point they retried to get our Famous Coon Cheese name changed because of it) LINK . . . . .

But on the video, it looks like it was taken a while ago looking at the quality of video and sound. Ive been on TV, in a Documentary, a ad for the Military and had my mug in the paper 5-6 times over my 40yrs.

Sort of weird looking at youself like that isn't it ?? Lol

I wasn't aware the word coon was slang in Australia. Around here the term coon***** is slang for a Cajun and most of us are kinda proud of it.
And yeah, weird watching yourself. That clip of me was taken about 12 years ago for our safety video which still plays in our lobby 24/7.

EDIT: Ok the censor caught that one :( The word is south end of a north bound coon.
