Craig Olejnik imagination

This is from my www.badcb.blogspot.com:

Craig Olejnik imagination: So what if one Listener fan found my blog and posted this comment? What if Craig Olejnik googles himself and his TV show and finds my blog?

I can imagine CO thinking: "Oh my God. Tracy has written about every episode of The Listener. She has seen me in that old TV show So Weird that I did way back in 2000. She's seen me in that TV movie Obituary.

She joined the Facebook group for my show. She puts on her Facebook status that she's watching the show and that you should watch it too. She even remembers little things like how Alexz Johnson guest- starred on my show. And how I guest- starred on her show So Weird.

She writes about how I should be in her TV movie called The Vertex Fighter.

Eric Johnson imagination

This is from my www.badcb.blogspot.com:

Eric Johnson imagination: I have written about my "Craig Olejnik imagination" where The Listener actor Craig Olejnik reads my blog about how I gush about him and his show. Also how I would like to see him in my script The Vertex Fighter.

This time, it's Eric Johnson's turn. It's about applying the law of attraction. I can see EJ Googling himself and he finds my blog. He would be like: "Oh my god, every time she mentions me, she always says 'My favorite Edmonton actor.' She has seen me in nearly everything."

"Tracy has been a fan since 2001 when she saw me on the TV movie Scorn. Then she watches me on Smallville. She helped me get an interview for the Edmonton magazine Mosaic. Though the article was published in the University of Alberta newspaper The Gateway.

She has Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed on dvd. She watched the Falcon Beach TV movie/ back door pilot. She even watched the TV movie Anonymous Rex even though I was only in one scene. She saw the TV movie Friend of the Family and the TV show Rookie Blue. She has Flash Gordon on dvd. She saw me on Criminal Minds where I play Hotchner's brother."

I was checking EJ out on imdb.com and he was on some American shows like an ep of Alcatraz. I should check it out. If EJ was in The Vertex Fighter, I can see him playing a bad guy because he gets those roles a lot.

Graham Wardle

This is from my www.badcb.blogspot.com.

Mar. 22 Graham Wardle: I was going through my old newspaper clippings and I found this article from the Edmonton Journal. It's about the actor Graham Wardle who plays Ty on Heartland. I can see him as Shawn in my The Vertex Fighter script. This article was printed on Sept. 25, 2010 by Eric Volmers.

He talks not being interested in motorcycles or riding horses until he got on the show. He was on the cover of Avenue magazine and how he talked about Ghandi and like Sean Penn's acting style.

GW: It's great to meet new people. What really throws me off is when people start screaming and yelling and getting worked up.

Me: So he's pretty down-to-earth and humble though he's on a TV show.

GW: All of us have had times in the show where we'd like to step up the maturity factor a bit and deal with some content that's a little higher rated. But this is the vehicle we have, and it's a great one. We can still deal with content that is serious, but we have to do it in a careful way."

True Life episode about MMA

This is my 2009 blog post from www.badcb.blogspot.com. It's where I first found the MMA fighter Kit Cope.

Jan. 23 Mix Martial Arts: Last night I saw True Life, this show on MTV. They profile three mix martial arts fighters. I had to watch it for my research of my script. It was a lot of fun to watch. They showed them training and how they live their life as fighters.

One guy named Frankie talked about how he was going to a big competition, and then 10days later he's going to get married to his girlfriend of 7 years. Well he lost his fight, but the wedding was good. Then they profiled another guy who is studying graphic design in college and balancing his training. He won his fight. He also has a 3.0 which is really good.

I have to save the best for last and that is Kit Cope. He was funny. After he weighed in at the competition, he went to his hotel room and pigged out. He had to weigh 155 pounds to be in the competition. He says: "Now let's eat some fruit and cookies." lol. He starts unwrapping this really nice fruit basket.

KC: "It's like undressing your prom date."
lol.

All three guys got girlfriends. The epilogue said that KC moved in with his gf, and then two months later they broke up. KC had blown out his knees and there was picture of his opened shoulder wound. I was like: "Ewwww." What was interesting was that after his friends left the hotel, he actually started cleaning up the place. I figured he would let the hotel staff clean it up. I would clean up because I'm a neat freak.

KC: When my friends left, I had to be serious and think about all the situations that could happen in the ring. In the end, I will have my arm being raised at the end of the fight.

Yeah, that's positive thinking. He did win the fight. He was on the ground and he elbowed the guy in the forehead, and blood was spurting all over KC. I was like: "Ewww."

I went on imdb.com and I see that he's 31 years old. Here's his resume and pic. He is hot.

Jake McLaughlin

This is from www.badcb.blogspot.com.

Mar. 5 Jake McLaughlin: Today I was going through my writing notes. I then found a note of how I can kind of see the actor Jake McLaughlin in my The Vertex Fighter script. I had written about him before. You read the following and you can can see him in my script:

Jan. 9, 2011 blog post:

Jake McLaughlin: I found this actor today on The Mentalist. He plays this bad boy MMA fighter. I checked him out on imdb.com and he was a war veteran and served in Iraq for four years.

It's confirmed in the interview with him and Susan Sarandon on The View:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJVA1LwjFdI

Also on imdb.com, it says he worked as a security guard at Universal Studios before joining the army.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2474864/

He's also on the TV show Crash which is a spin-off from the Oscar winning movie. He's married and has two kids.

Me: I already saw him play a bad boy MMA fighter like my lead character Shawn. However, JM's character in The Mentalist episode "Blood Sport" was more of a jerk.

The Vertex Fighter music (Part 2)

This on my www.badcb.blogspot.com.

Feb. 25 The Vertex Fighter music: It's interesting. I was talking to my new friend Neil about The Vertex Fighter.

Neil: So what kind of music do you hear in it?
Me: That's interesting, because I wrote about it on my blog. I hear the Canadian rock band Down with Webster. They have a song called "Time to Win."

Today I was looking for a job and listening to music on Youtube as usual. Then I reheard the song "All Night Long" by Miguel. It should be on my TV movie. The song starts off with the ring of a bell and it's got a fast beat. The lyrics are "Here I come mama, here I come mama." I can hear it during a fight scene.
