I was in this Movie!
9 September 2006 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

This is a great story based somewhat factually on events in the City of Scranton. I was cast as an extra (as was many of the Scranton Inhabitants)I was the kid with the red stripped Tube Socks walking on the left of the Elephant in the parade. The events of the Elephant actually happened in Scranton about 1976. The Main Characters are based on High School Basketball Players that Jason Miller went to High School with at Scranton Central High School. The Stores that line the street that the parade moved past, were blown up @1992 to make way for a shopping mall. Jason Miller became a Drama Professor at the University of Scranton. At Miller's Funeral, many of the original stars of the movie were in attendance.
