Marvelous night with Sebastian Stan: Feature article

Thursday Jan 25,2024

Toronto,ONT

On set :Twin cities upcoming film on Donald Trump early days in the 1980's 

It was the last week of January and I got email from my agent for a film looking for people with tuxedos/ casino patrons

I have a tuxedo so that was an easy YES!

I already had an earlier commitment to speak at event in the Yonge and Sheppard area which I had committed few weeks earlier so I couldn't break it. It was going to be long day!

 The day gets started and I do my speaking commitment and head back downtown to drop of my stuff and pick up my bag with my two fittings.

I reach the location and there are lots of extras on the 19th floor roughly 150 of us.

Get settled and I ask what is this film all about ?  Answer: about Trump in his early days in the 80's 

My response: UGh!!!

My next question: Who is playing Trump?

Answer: Sebastian Stan

My answer: OMG!!!   It's going to be a Marvelous night!!!!

 (If you don't already know I have a huge Marvel fan since 2008)

I had the great experience to meet James Marsden (Cyclops in X-men )  2019 on set of   Mrs. America and Cate Blanchett (play Hela Thor Ragnarock)

It was amazing trifecta to see Sebastian Stan in action for this night of  filming.

                It was long night of filming as we did one scene but in two different locations!

 

                There was lots of green screens and we all using are amazing skills pretending we were on escalators in one long scene!

 

                    It was truly amazing too see how calm, cool and collected Sebastian was with all the direction he was getting from Director Ali Abbasi and the camera and photography professionals.

 We then went to another location with more green screen but this time we had real escalators and we had to film at the top and the bottom of both escalators!

    It was one of the most unique experience I have ever had being so involved in all the action that was happening.

 We wrapped up at 4:30am and of course it was Marvelous night indeed!
