Look For Richard!

"ALOHA &

 Thanks For Swimming By :)

 but on trees and flowers
 and clouds and stars."

 bait with your heart,
 not your brain."

 among the colors, 
 ... one has to leave them alone completely,
 so that they can settle the matter
 among themselves."

is someone who thinks that
you are a good egg
even though he knows
that you are slightly
cracked."

Yesterday I had Dim Sum
 with my buddy
 Richard Rodrigues.

"What have you been doing lately?"
 I asked him.



Aside from his usual pro-social activities writing grants
for community organizations and stuff like that, 
Richard has been open to new opportunities lately,
and BOY
 has he latched on to something good!

Tonight after the NFL Football Playoffs
 (here in the States)
CBS will be showing (off) it's most popular
 new TV show of the season:
 Hawaii 5-O.



Watch the scene in the Tsunami HQ
and you will see Richard as a technician
in the crucial action!

He worked with Scott Caan and
Alex O'Loughlin!

Isn't that cool?

But that's not all!

Richard has also been appearing
 as a (background) regular
in the ABC show Off The Map,
 in which our island stands in
for South America.

Richard answered the call
 for a Hispanic-looking adult male
and now makes regular appearances
 as a "local doctor"
on that show!

"That's amazing, Richard!
  I'm so happy for you.
 Anything else?"

"Well," He replied, "I do have a part
 in the film Battleship." 
(currently wrapping up here on Oahu).

Richard is now a member of the actor's union.

Hope he will still find time to meet me in Chinatown!


Possibilities are afoot, Friends!

  12. Great quotes, especially the first one. And kudos to your friend Richard. He sounds like an outstanding kinda guy. Perhaps even a little cracked, but in a good way of course.

  19. That all sounds pretty exciting, things to come? I watched Hawaii 5-0 last night. I think it was a repeat from last week. I will have to remember about Richard if I catch another repeat.

  20. Mahalo to everyone for your charming remarks. My, how Cloudia has a great and lovely group of followers here. It is a privilege to be her friend, and a joy to spend time out and about these lovely islands (sometimes even when she's snapping gorgeous and/or curious pictures we see here!)

    There's a new (for us!) show filming in Hawaii this week but 'mum's the word'! Announcement will come, before broadcast. Not just yet, however.
