… for a split second. But it still counts! LOL!<\/p>\n
I was a paid extra in the big new F1 film<\/a>, Brad Pitt’s biggest film to date. I took time off my day job at NASA and I worked 3 full 12-hour-long days on the film. I took part in filming during the Rolex24 race at the Daytona Speedway<\/a> on January 25th, 27th, and 28th of 2024. I played the part of a racetrack photographer or journalist and I was placed into several scenes. Only one shot of me made it into the film though. And I can only be seen for a split second in the final cut.<\/p>\n I show up in the first 3 minutes of the movie when Brad Pitt is awoken in his van and then he walks from his van to the racetrack. This walking scene is at 6 minutes 27 seconds in the following “Making of F1 The Movie” featurette:<\/p>\n
