Ha! I did know that woman in "Million Dollar Arm"

Sorry, long story.

If you haven't seen the movie "Million Dollar Arm", it might be worth seeing. It's basically every sports movie cliche, done quite well (Disney is good at that). It has several awesome smaller parts, including Aasif Mandvi as a partner in the business, Allyn Rachel (a.k.a. the girl who played in every single advertisement in 2010 or so) as a receptionist, etc.

Like any movie, it also had several "minor" characters. (There are no small parts, only small paychecks.) When I saw it, I said, "I swear to God, that looks like my prom date, Sue." Sue is an Arabic-American actress with some amazing indie credits to her name, but I never imagined she would have a part like that.

Lo and behold, talking to her today, I mentioned that, and she said that was in fact her, and it was her first SAG job. I knew it!

Anyways, go see "Million Dollar Arm". She still gets residuals. Fun time.

Yeah, I'm glad some things don't follow us to IMDB (I'm on there, incidentally, as a composer: I have a Bacon number of 5).
