This time of year as it gets near St. Patrick's Day always reminds me of being in Savannah, Georgia in 1989 filming Glory, so this week Throwback Thursday features a couple of screen captures of one of my favorite but purely accidental onscreen appearances. I had briefly stepped away from where I was standing off to one side to go say something to someone - I forget who or what - when the First A.D. or Assistant Director Skip Cosper literally grabbed me and stuck me into this spot where I got to watch Irish-American actor John Finn playing Sergeant Major Mulcahy drilling the troops! (Other actors in this scene are Jihimi Kennedy and Michael Smith Guess.) As I've noted before, St. Patrick's Day is to Savannah what Mardi Gras is to New Orleans, and on THE DAY itself after "burning Darien" our regular group adjourned to a suburban Mexican restaurant to avoid the downtown crowds and where we were joined by Matthew Broderick for the first and only time.
Anyone else having (preferably) old Civil War-related photos, mementoes, or memorabilia from reenactments, living history, or other events or work, vacation or other travel is welcome and encouraged to post them here in this weekly thread!
