Yesterday marked the end of my part in the upcoming movie "Unstoppable" with Denzel Washington, Chris Pine, and Rosario Dawson. They were on location in my home town for the last three days using the tracks that travel down the middle of Washington Avenue for their movie about a runaway chemical train.

I was a fireman, and we did a LOT of running around. I have a completely new appreciation for what actual firemen go through. That equipment weighs a ton! Denzel and Chris Pine were both on-set yesterday, and walked by me several times. My mark to begin the scene was right beside the Director (Tony Scott), so they were heading my way all the time.

So, back to normal life, sore, bruised, and exhausted, but happy to have been a part of it. It was a great experience. So, if you happen to go see the movie when it comes out, look for a fireman with the name "T. Youland" on his uniform. That's me.
