Muay Thaimes – Vol. III, No. 2<br />
S<br />
pike TV broadcast <strong>the</strong><br />
première of its new hit<br />
show, “Deadliest Warrior”, on<br />
Tuesday evening, April 7 th 2009.<br />
I’d spent 5 weeks, on and off, in<br />
October and November,<br />
furnishing Morning Star<br />
Entertainment with my<br />
biography and film clips, as well<br />
as doing interviews with various<br />
members of <strong>the</strong> production crew<br />
GETTING THE GIG<br />
at <strong>the</strong> studio in Burbank,<br />
California. The director called<br />
me one morning with a “thumbs<br />
up” on my last demo.<br />
I’d brought my own Apache<br />
weapons to <strong>the</strong> audition.<br />
Although half became casualties<br />
of combat, <strong>the</strong>re were enough in<br />
reserve to prove that Apache<br />
Warriors were ready for every<br />
contingency. I demonstrated<br />
close range weapons in <strong>the</strong><br />
office hallway, <strong>the</strong>n did longer<br />
range weapons in <strong>the</strong> parking<br />
garage. I put on a show with<br />
archery, knife throwing, spear<br />
hurling, rock heaving, plus some<br />
improvised weapons like <strong>the</strong> leg<br />
bone of a bison. I also did a few<br />
one liners for laughs.<br />
