Disappointment on the star front!

Rick went off to PA as planned and even was in a scene right behind Hal Holbrook, but they decided there were too many people in hte scene and cut some of them.  He was one of the ones cut.  They paid him for Monday, and said they migh tbe able to use him on Wed. and Thurs.  He and a friend who also went out with him and got cut too drove back Mon. night.  They tried getting hold of the casting people on Tuesday to find out if they would be needed on Wed. but couldn't get an answer, so they chose not to go back.  So his star career is on hold until the next call for extras!
