    Todd Terry is suddenly sitting right next to me and he somehow appeared there mysteriously and without fanfare. So, before he develops a complex, or possibly reaches over to pick my pocket, heck, let’s all welcome Todd to the forum. Okay, everyone together… “WELCOME TODD!!!”

    As I think the now second newest person here, welcome Todd. May you impart wisdom to us all in a way which exemplifies the wisdom imparting goodness of all things wise and impartingable.

    Sneaking is one of the more powerful, and less discussed, aspects of business and marketing. Welcome, Todd!!

    BTW- great article in the current COW mag!

    Hey Todd….look at you, all disembodied head and all…

    Welcome to the line up.

    I didn’t know you had been an actor (did you tell me that?)…movie of the week experience must be handy for negotiating contracts (“No, Mr. Client, I don’t book half days, but I think your wife may be having an affair…”)

    [Tim Kolb] “I didn’t know you had been an actor (did you tell me that?)…”

    No, Tim, I probably didn’t. Why?…planning to schedule the “World’s Worst Film Festival”? One movie-of-the-week thingy was so bad that I literally couldn’t watch it long enough to see myself.

    Seriously, it all was an education though… I was fortunate enough to work for a couple of seasons (VERY bit part) on a very wonderful but underappreciated NBC series called “I’ll Fly Away”… where one of the rotating DPs (who shall remain nameless) could do more with one instrument and two feet of gaffer tape than I’ve ever seen. He was a genius… but very abusive to the crew, even the cast. We were doing a scene one time and he literally screamed at poor Sam Waterston (who is a total pussycat) for causing a shadow he didn’t like (which was actually my fault for missing a mark, but I was a twenty-something year-old kid and afraid to own up to it). Watching him I learned as much about what NOT to do as to do.

    More comfortable behind the camera these days. Don’t bother IMDBing me though… there was another “Todd Terry” already in SAG so I had to use a different name (and will never tell!)

    It’s more fun yelling “Action!” and bossing people around, anyway.

    [Rich Rubasch] “Let the imparting begin.”

    Sometimes, I love getting up in the morning and reading the forums. Gives me a chance to spew coffee all over my screen and up my nose when I read comments like this one, Rich.

    Thanks, Rich.

    And thanks Todd for joining our merry little band here. (Why do I suddenly hear the chorus line song from Mel Brooks’ “Robin Hood: Men In Tights”?)

    :o)

    It’s great to have you in here, Todd. I also appreciated the chance to get to talk with you when putting together the last issue of Creative COW Magazine, your article made for great reading and my Canon XL says it wants to be just like yours when it grows up.

    Best regards,

    [Todd at Fantastic Plastic] “It’s more fun yelling “Action!” and bossing people around, anyway.

    Steven Spielberg commented that the very first time he was on set as a director he was so nervous that instead of saying “action” he waved his arm at everybody and said rather sheepishly: “Go ahead.”
