Michael Ian Smith God Bless Mr. John King
Mr. King helped me when I was filming Simon Birch.
He was my mentor as well as my life counselor.
I guess you can call him my manager as well as agent.
I owe him my life and the fortune we both made with Simon Birch.
Over the last few years we have not been in contact but since Mr. King
has decided to make one more feature film he has asked for my help
as well as others in the industry.
I am now 23 and ready to play as written John's son.
Other's who's names appear on this thread will also be involved in this
movie.
Contracts are in the making.
Show Biz News is how John discovered me and now Mr. King publishes the paper
so he has something to do on his down time.
It seems anybody who appeared on John's cable TV show will be included in
the film
in minor roles or simply walk-ON's to have the audience get that good old
John King Show family feel again.
I know most of you who have had contact with Mr. King, like myself would
take a bullet for him.
I wish I had more time to express how great a man Mr. King is.
It has been a pleasure and until we are all on the set.
God Bless You All And God Bless Mr. John King
Peace
Michael |
