Last September I was fortunate enough to be introduced to a casting director while at Scotchtown's fall event, looking for accomplices to help out on a restaurant makeover show. Seeking to feature local history, I was once again portraying Patrick Henry on a big 3 network primetime show. After the obligatory background investigation and NDA I was told I'd be working with Gordon Ramsey on the 3rd season of Fox's 24 Hours To Hell And Back. If you have ever seen the show, you know the premise is for him to sneak into failing restaurants incognito thereby unveiling himself before helping to turn the business around in only 24 hours. I would be one of his accomplices, along with many others in the Virginia Living history community to help him blend in as one of us, a group of revolutionary re-enactors headed to a fictional reenactment in Williamsburg. We ate at the establishment for lunch and again the next evening for supper to see the miraculous changes his team facilitated. You can see how this played out by catching episode 305 of #24hoursfox
