Jim Faulkner, baseball player for the NY Giants

Hope all is well!?

I wanted to share this with everyone.

I was always told by my family that my great grandfather was a professional baseball player. Faulkner is actually my mother's maiden name. For years I've heard stories, but unfortunetly never could find anything about him. I was told he was a pitcher and a first baseman. Up until now, I've only saw one photo of him on the field. With the help of my family, they found this website with his info on it, and to be honest.. It's very exciting. I do live in California now, and I can offically say I have a reason to be a Giants fan!
Makes me think that I should've stuck with baseball, haha :)

"W & W"

Hello everyone! I haven't had a lot of time lately to post about things going on.. but I have some time this morning and I wanted to jump rigt on it. For the first "W", last week I recieved a called to be on the show called "Wilfred". If you haven't seen it already, I suggest you try and catch an episode or two. The FX TV series stars Elijah Wood, and is created by Jason Gann.. who actually plays "Wilfred". I had the pleasure of working with them all last week on set and everyone was nothing but nice. The cast & crew were fantastic! Everything said and done, it was a great time. The series is currently on their second series.

The second topic of the "W", my website is being constructed but the first initial page is up an running. If you guys have some time, check it out real quick. www.nvpsites.comjimmy Until next time..

"Jimmy Messi" ??

Hey hey everyone!

Hope all is well.

I haven't posted much in a couple of weeks, and today is the perfect day to do that. I was recently on set of the show, "The Client List" starring "Jeniffer Love Hewitt".
It was a great time on set and I met a bunch of terrific people.
While on set, someone said to me.. "Hey you look like Messi". I thought to myself for a second and responded with.. "what"?
He again said "You look like Messi". At this point, I'm think he is saying that I look like a mess and maybe like I needed a shower or something. I thought to myself, "well that's just plain rude". Just when I had that thought, he said.. "Did anyone every tell you that? You look just like him".
Then I realized he meant I looked like someone named Messi, haha. He informed me that Lionel Messi is a soccer player, and not just any soccer player, but the highest paid soccer player and arguably the best. Now to be quite honest. I never was a soccer fan... or should I say futbol fan.

So I decided to look this fellow up, and to my surprise.. He kind of does. I really never admit someone looks like me, when someone tells me that "someone looks like me".. but oddly enough he does. My friends and family do say that he has a much bigger nose than me though :)

Ironically, several other futbol fanatics, including a 7 year old boy have approached me to tell me the exact same thing.
The 7 year old boy was with his family and actually brought a picture of "Messi" up on his phone and said "This is you". The little boy was also wearing a Barcelona Jersey for that matter as well, haha. I laughed with his family and I said "come to my next game and I will give you all some tickets". He little boys face lit up and he said to his dad "Really, will he"!? His father informed him that I was just kidding.

I also must mention that no one has ever mentioned this funny similarity with Messi until now. I have only been in California for a year and a half, and they are definitely HUGE futbol fans out here.

So, because of this I think I might follow "futbol" a little closer now, and who knows... I might even buy the Fifa 2012 for 360.
This humorous situation also got me brain storming, and I am now in the works on a very funny spoof I will be creating about Lionel Messi. Where I will actually be playing Messi in a series of short films.

So without further ado, I give to you my somewhat similar reflection.

          THOUGHTS!!??

If anyone wants to come to one of my games, let me know. I'll get you some tickets :)


Til next time!
