check out the ring medic


My mane is Bryan Hott and I was an actor in the movie here with some additional tidbits. I played one of the ring medics/ambulance driver who was supposed to receive credits but for some reason they never show up. I was the medic who does the awesome facial gestures and the Arsenio Hall and Tiger Woods arm impressions in the fight scenes. I was paid $1000 before my agent took his 1/3 cut, but there were a couple of perks from extras who thought the other medic and myself were real Hollywood actors. Here's a funny story that happened while shooting. When we placed "another loser" on the stretcher, we had positioned him to high on it and when we lifted him, his head fell back, his mouth opened and his face went right into my crotch. Everyone busted up laughing except the director whom of course immediately yelled cut! Also when the fight scene re-shoots were done we only had less than half of the extras for the crowd, so for different angles the ones in the front went to the back and vise versa. So if you look closely the people ringside don't match up. Blame it on the editing. All in all is was a great time on the set. I still get excited to see it when it comes on late night TV.

I was one of those ring side extras. The film was fun to make like you said. Even as an unpaid extra.
