Glenn Gordon Caron

When we shut down Central Park South and made it snow for Love Affair (1994), we had this huge scene in front of the Essex House - all these cars. We had to stop traffic. And this gentleman would stand there and with great affection say, "Action!" And everybody would move. And we'd say, "No, no, no, that's not the director! That's the director." This happened take after take. Apparently this guy is homeless and somewhat eccentric, but he really enjoys being on movie sets. I'm told he showed up on The Paper (1994), Ronnie Howard's movie. Pretty much if you film anywhere in New York, this guy shows up and yells, "Action! Cut!" and critiques the work. I'm hoping he can pull the $7 together to see the movie and assess his contribution.
