« Arrested Development | Main | Pilot »

So, Terence and I headed to the set of Arrested Development yesterday at about 4:00 pm.  The show is shot in studios 3 and 4 of Culver City Studios.  We met Tony, and he took us all over the place, to wardrobe, hair, makeup, production offices, and the sets, introducing us to everyone we met along the way.  We met most of the cast, including Jason Bateman, David Cross, and Jeffrey Tambor.  Tony got his hair cut in the trailer next to his at the same time that Jessica Walter, who plays his mom on the show was getting her hair done.  She was mildly interested in meeting Terence and I as Tony's friends until she asked what we did.  When Tony told her that we were working on becoming producers, she perked right up, and said, "Hey, aging Jewish actress, right here!"  I think she was only half kidding.

Next up, we hung out in the wardrobe trailer while Tony was fitted for his various 'Buster' costumes.  Then, we raided the food wagon.  Sour skittles to take home for Jamie, and a little hot chocolate for yours truly.  Then, we went back to Tony's trailer so he could run his lines.  We didn't actually move to the set for taping until around 7:30 pm.  Terence and I stood watching the monitors, because it's a four-walled set.  It was pretty amazing being in such a professional studio.  I mean, the air conditioner cut off whenever they yelled, "Rolling", for crying out loud.  Anyway, it was fun and a good learning experience.  Chances are good I'll be going back.

I may have missed something, but how did you meet Tony and what role does he play in the show? When does the show premiere? We'll have to check it out yo.

Jamie and I met Tony in New York. You would know him as Mr. Roboto. Tony plays 'Buster' on the show. You can't miss him. The show premieres some time in November, I think on Sunday nights.

Ok, get this. Remember my friend's mockumentary "Butcher's 15?" I think I showed it to you. Well, Tony was the event coordinator in that movie! He is indeed one funny dude...tell him I'm a big fan of his Joseph Gordon role.
