The Secret Adventures of Adolph Hitler

Berkeley, California. During his infamous political career, Adolph Hitler was the target of 42 distinct assassination attempts. All of these attempts failed and Hitler finally died at his own hand in 1945. I've been working in a yet to be named documentary covering these various attempts. The film is meant to coincide with next year's release of Valkyrie, a feature film following the story of Col. Claus von Stauffenberg and starring Tom Cruise. I traveled to the Bay Area this past weekend to participate in the film in the role of Hitler. This was an extremely enjoyable shoot thanks to a great cast and crew. Enjoy the pics!
On another front, you may recall my participation in the Santiago Tapia film, The Secret Adventures of Mr. Grant (see posts: Meet John Needham, Secret Agent and Secret Adventures). A 3 minute version of the film is now available for viewing HERE on the Filmaka website and was a close finalist for the winner of this year's Filmaka award.

Finally, things have been busy on the work front. I have been on one set or another every day for the past several weeks and my Starmeter hit an all time high last week - 30,523. Disney really had me put the extra hours in on the Race to Witch Mountain with the Rock, Bob Balaban (as the Director of Swingtown) asked me to eat day old prop food and to 'get as intimate as I was willing to' with a female background artist, Patrick Dempsey (Grey's Anatomy) is a really nice guy, and Holly Hunter (Saving Grace) is the most gracious and welcoming principle actor I have yet had the privilege to work with. Check out the following clips from work days on Swingtown, Moonlight and Lincoln Heights.

    Wow, Arlo! You look great! (if resembling Adolph Hitler qualifies as looking "great" -- you look just right)

    Congratulations on the continued busyness!
