LISA DENTON: Barry, this is the last Monday in August, so that means we’re heading into Labor Day weekend. I have to say, I’d welcome a rest from my labor.
One interesting event coming up is a centennial celebration by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 75. During an open house Friday, they’ll present performer Randy Noojin in a Woody Guthrie salute.
Noojin has multiple stage, film and television credits, ranging from “I Don’t Know How She Does It” to “The Good Wife.”
I’ve always wanted to be a character actor just so I could have credits like “bowling alley alien” (his role in the movie “Men in Black 3”) or “perp” (his billing in CBS’ “Person of Interest”).
BARRY COURTER: I’ve always wanted to claim “best boy” or “grip” on my resume, but “perp” would be pretty cool. Have I ever mentioned my earlier modeling career? I’ve done a lot of work as the “before” guy.
