It's amazing what you can find on YouTube. Looks like somebody posted this rare clip from an Animal Planet documentary that happens to feature me, Sara and the soon-to-be-famous Alana as swimmers who were attacked by sea lampreys during a long-distance race in Vermont.
Our scene was shot in February at Saguaro lake, and the water was freezing. Sara had received the call for extras via the Leadership Scholarship program listserv. The British production crew was very nice, but it barely made up for the fact that the water was so cold it made you gasp and then made your head sting.
So when you see me and Alana on the beach, wrapped in foil blankets, drinking hot cider and looking genuinely pained - it's not acting. I don't even think we knew we were on camera.
I'm going to try to get my hands on some of the all-time classic Irish C videos and post them here. If you have any, please share them.
