A lady stopped me in the supermarket...yes, I go to the supermarkets myself!... well, anyway, she recognized me from when I played in "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat". She said that from that time on, she never missed a chance to purchase a ticket to see me on stage...even here, if you can believe that!
Anyway, she asked me why I don't put my talent and good looks to use before a camera and do a movie.
"I am," I told her. "As a matter of fact, I have three indies in the can waiting to be released at Sundance...and I just finished a TV movie."
"What's it called?" she asked.
"It's called "David and Goliath"."
"Oh, goody! I can't wait to see you kill that giant with your slingshot, dressed in your little toga and sandals!"
I was appalled! She thought I was doing a TV remake about the Biblical David... not a story about a horticulturist (named David Burke) going up against a corporate giant (named Sam Goliath).
Finding myself at a loss for words, all I could say was, "Lady, you've got the wrong David!!!"
"So what?" she said. "As long as you kill the giant!"
