Royal Pains

Karen and I, as everyone knows (because we won't shut up about it), do a bit of side work as MOVIE STARS. Or, you could say, "extras" in "some weird TV shows." Either way, we both had the good fortune to get cast on the same shoot a few weeks ago for this USA show "Royal Pains." It's about a "serious" doctor who through some kind of unlikely circumstances becomes a private physician for a bunch of obscenely wealthy people in the Hamptons who he hates, but are rich, so, you know, he puts up with it.

Anyway! For our scene, they bussed us about 2 hours out of the city to Long Island. We were shooting in the slightly misleadingly-named Oheka Castle, which is really more of a country club than a "castle," per se. It was, however, not a bad place to hang out for a few hours with your significant other, and get paid to boot.

This was the view from the "castle's" lawn. Not too shabby!
















Sort of a moody shot of the castle itself.

















This is a surreptitiously-snapped photo I took during the actual filming. It was supposed to be a bachelor party, but was really more of just a regular party. It looked really cool, though!











Last but FAR from least, here is The Lady herself, in a photo you may recognize from FaceBook, looking positively radiant.
