Hi everybody, welcome to AITA Pod.

I'm Danny Vega, joined today by a very special guest, the first in our series of experts

I found on Craigslist.

We welcome Daniel Wiseman to the program, background actor for some 30 years. Is that right, Daniel? That is right.

30 years you've been in the background of many, many shows you were telling me. Yes.

Movies and TV shows, probably something you have seen, but you'd never have seen me.

We've never seen you, but you're, you are there.

You are in the background.

Yeah.

Star Trek 6, Clint Eastwood Films, Call to the Wild with Harrison Ford.

And you told me that sometimes you'll show friends, and you would say, hey, look, that's me.

That's right.

Or I would take a photograph or a screenshot and put it on Facebook and show them,

maybe sometimes circle it with a red circle.

I'm back there.

Right.

I'm that guy with the beard in the tragedy of Macbeth next to the horse.

I love this. And you told me that you got into it,

you know, because it was relatively not stressful. But I want to go back to the very beginning.

What were your aspirations getting into acting? Did you want to be Tom Cruise? Were you just

kind of like, whatever acting? That's interesting.

What was your vibe?
