Icon It was indeed a random encounter, Dan!

Truth be told, my wife (Mrs. Peter T. and yes, that's her birth name) and I,  and yes, that's her attempting to flee from this very odd little man, were walking down a street in our fair little city only to run into Bruiser. We had never previously met. He quickly asked if we could do a short bit for his Youtube channel. I'm always open to working with seemingly deranged strangers so I quickly accepted the narrative he offered. Bruiser's strangely normal looking son-in-law was behind the camera for the confrontation. It took all of the experience I had acquired from the Lee Strasberg Home Study Method Acting audiotape series to match the earthy charisma that Bruiser had acquired over his many years in the "squared circle" of professional wrestling. No critic was heard to exclaim, "This is must-see viewing, better than Mean Streets!". Absolutely no one could be heard exclaiming, "It's like Olivier battling Paul Muni!". And not a trace of newsprint stated, "Mamet wishes he could rise to this level of authentic, streetwise dialogue! " With over 300 viewings, many by my family and friends (some of whom I didn't actually pay to view it), there's a growing chorus for a repeat performance. Think Rocky 2, but with more chiseled muscles.
