Hollywood Extra has taken a six-month hiatus, but I’m back with a vengeance and in all my background glory. Yesterday I worked on the greatest show on television of all time for any reason – UGLY BETTY! There are no accidents in the world. Brilliant and Legendary television happens for a reason. Although I am only a piss-ant extra, while standing around on stage 12 at Raleigh Studios, I noticed Jon Kinnally (executive producer and writer of Will & Grace) talking to fellow executive producer/writer Tracy Poust and high-end Broadway talent Stephen DeRosa. I had no idea Jon Kinnally and Tracy Poust were also co-execs on Ugly Betty. Gee. I paparazzied the three of them with my trusty digital camera (at left); then, without embarrassing myself too tragically, I also managed to get a picture with goddess Vanessa Williams and Mr Alan Dale (at right)! WOW!
