I was shooting a movie, Backfire, by Ben Demaree. Starring as the
hit woman, Nicole, I run down the stairs toting a gun while dragging
my co-star. We sprint down the stairs with Alex, the cameraman, on
our heels. Suddenly Alex yells, 'Put the gun down!' I turn to see two
LAPD officers standing behind their car doors, guns drawn, yelling! I
gingerly laid the gun in a flower planter and put my hands up. We
didn't get shot, thankfully! The lesson: Be careful if you're toting
around a fake gun in public, and the LAPD does have a sense of humor!
