I worked as a walk on extra in the Cotton Club and sat with Mr Hoskins
during breaks and watched as he drew sketches of horses and small talk
to pass the time. He had the ability to make you feel important to the
film whether you were a star or an extra. Unfortunately, I wound up on
the cutting room floor. Another actor in this production who made you
feel important was Fred Gwynne. Looking back at the cast of characters
in Cotton Club, it's amazing as to the top names, actors and dancers.
Thanks guys for giving me these great memories.
