 ET - now, how many people know I am in this film?  Huh?  In fact, I am a key player because I'm part of the scene where ET figures out he has to phone home.  When he sees a telephone commercial on TV - in that commercial, if you don't blink, you will see me.  It was a real phone company commercial with me and Mallory Sandler (a Zucker-Abrhams-Zucker regular) that they bought to use in the film.  We all did it as a buyout so we get no residuals.  The reason we did it as a buyout?  Because they neglected to tell us the film was called ET and that it was directed by Mr. Spielberg.
