A double feature tonight. McQueen (James Remar) is a gifted guitarist who never quite got the big break, and works gig-to-gig as a session man. All that might change, though, when he gets a last minute call to work with a hot band with some major internal problems...
1991 Oscar winner for Best Short Film.

You might recognize James Remar from a lot of other stuff, btw. He was Ajax in The Warriors, Sam Starr in The Long Riders, and Dutch Schultz in The Cotton Club, among other things.

Double feature ping.
A lot of “that guy” actors in this one.... “that guy” that played Tobias on Oz, and “that guy” that played T-Bone on “Prison Break”. Plus the drummer looks like Chad Smith from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Lol, I just looked it up on IMDB, and the drummer IS Chad Smith from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
That was lovely. Thanks.
Holy cow, that *is* Beecher from OZ!
Guess I didn’t recognize him without Vern Schillinger burning a swastika into his backside. :-)
(He was also the guy from the “You’re not getting my Bud Light” Bud Light commercial, IIRC).
Glad you enjoyed it. :-)
