Tom Jane

This past weekend, I got the chance to meet Tom Jane. For people who do not know who is, he is an actor that has been in Boogie Nights, The Mist, The Punisher, and the Sweetest Thing just to name a few.

He seemed to be a pretty laid back and cool guy. He talked about how on the set of "Boogie Nights", he and Burt Reynolds got into an actual fist fight while trying to shoot a scene. Apparently, the two were doing a scene where Burt Reynolds was trying to kick everyone out of his house and Burt got too rough with everyone (especially Tom Jane).

Now, Tom Jane seems like a kick ass guy but even he has his limits. He said the Burt Reynolds was being a dick to everyone that day and Tom couldn't take it anymore. The director, Paul Thomas Anderson, likes to take long uncut takes when he makes his movies and he just let the two duke it out on the set. The whole incident lasted only for 5 minutes, but that would have been an awesome 5 minutes to witness. The next day, Burt Reynolds sent Tom Jane a bottle of champagne and an article titled "Burt Reynolds and Mark Wahlberg Fight On Movie Set". Tom thought he finally made in into the industry because he was getting confused with a real celebrity.
