X-Men: The Last Stand (Feature Film - IMDB)

Date Filmed: March 4, 2006
Role: Played a marine guard during a press conference at the White House (near the end of the movie).
Filming Location: Hycroft Manor in Vancouver. This location is used a lot in stuff filmed in Vancouver.
Notes:
• Lucked out on this one because these were re-shoots done well after most of the movie was filmed.
• Appeared in a scene with The Beast, who is played by Kelsey Grammer. But it was his double in this scene, and not actually him.
• They gave me a buzz-cut to play the marine, even though you don't see my hair at all.
• Article from Vancouver Sun on filming

🤔Can you spot me? I'm the guard on screen left.

Date Filmed: March 27, 2006

Notes:
• This was only avaliable to stream from the Capitol One web site. The image is pretty bad since back in the day online video was low quality.
