Please forgive me sir...I was one of those Missouri Militia men.....In the film "Joseph Smith, Prophet of the Restoration"......
Fake sideburns (courtesy of a lovely LDS/BYU mother and daughter make up team...), long rifle, flat crowned hat and blue/red trim militia hunting shirt.....When they were hauling Joseph away (and one other guy, I can't remember the characters name) I was one of the militia men screaming in his face...I helped the Director with some authenticity issues he had with some of the (non reenactor) extras and their powder horns and he made sure I got in some of the main shots...A great guy...You know how most Directors yell "ACTION" when they are getting ready to shoot a scene???? He would just clear his throat and say, "Okay" and would start shooting the scene...Plus he fed us well...I still have my check stub from that gig...Great folks to work with and I am honored to have played a small part in that film....
I can say this about Mormons....They fed me great sammies....
Here is the Trailer...
No hard feelings, my friend... I've been to your shop. I'll have to stop in sometime - and introduce myself.
