So … er … I was in a TV show last night.

Posted on April 6, 2009 by Myca

Through a kind of weird set of circumstances, I ended up acting in a TV show last night, playing Paul Stine, victim #7 of the Zodiac Killer. I’ve included a couple of pics, but at least one includes movie-gore, so I’m putting them behind a cut.

Here is Paul Stine, age 29:

It’s sad, isn’t it? He looks like he’d be in his mid-40’s at least, but he’s not even 30 yet, and never would be.

Here is me, made up as Paul Stine:

My personal favorite bit is the fake mustache … I realized that in the makeup, I look just like my dad did about 30 years ago. Crap.

We did a fair amount of shooting with me looking like that, then I was whisked back into makeup to make me look horrible and bloody after the Zodiac shoots me in the back of the head.

So there it is. You can see the blue and white shirt I’m wearing. That’s the same shirt that the Zodiac kept a piece from to mail to the police in order to take credit for the kill.

As a reminder that I’m not normally either 1) bloody or 2) mustachey, here’s a more normal pic:

    I think your choice to remain non-moustachey in real life was a good one.

    Congrats. What show was this for?

    Wow do I ever share your opinion.

    Shame they didn’t match the glasses… And yes, I never would have guessed that photo showed a man in his late 20s.

    Agreed with 1 & 3 — when I saw your engagement pic, I thought “He’s cute!” Paul Stine, not so much (though I’m sure your dad was adorable 30 years ago).

    Yeah, the problem is that I was a last minute replacement for the guy they had before, who dropped out, so they had perfectly appropriate glasses to fit his tiny little elfin head, but nothing to fit the enormous melon I balance atop my shoulders.

    My family is very involved in the running of our local community theatre, which is how I got the gig in the first place, so they had some vaguely appropriate glasses, but nothing that matched, really.

    Re me: Aw, thanks!

    Re my dad: Yeah, I think that a lot of people made fashion choices in the 70’s that seemed perfectly reasonable at the time but that they later regretted.
