Teaching an Old Dog a New Trick
No, I am not trying to be insulting here. “Old Dogs” is the title of a new movie starring John Travolta and Robin Williams, directed by Walt Becker who also directed “Wild Hogs”. This week I had the pleasure of teaching Mr. Travolta a couple of tricks, for a scene that was shot in the street outside Grand Central Station. One of the things he had to learn was how to produce a big flame from his hand without burning himself or the child actors.
Practicing the trick. The girl with her back to the camera is Travolta’s daughter Ella. The director is the guy in the black t-shirt on the right.
