Glenn Goodwin plays a Majestic agent in charge of monitoring Linda Pearson. 

I've known Glenn for around ten years now. I met him 1988 after I got of high school through a mutual friend.

Glenn came in late into the production and in many ways saved it. It always seemed just as I hit some wall a higher power would send me someone or something that would help make it all right.

It was January 1998 and I was just about fed up with this whole thing. The stresses of the project, my finances and scheduling were pushing me to the brink. I had just started hanging out with Glenn again after having lost touch with him with for quite a while and was always telling him about the project. 

 Glenn gets excited very easily and literally loves doing stuff like this. So what started off as a small role turned into him becoming my right hand man/production assistant and most importantly an editor. 

I would often rough cut whole scenes that were complete that winter and Glenn would edit them with me. We had a trick that we would then watch the scenes from the furthest spot away in my small apartment. The refrigerator.

 Glenn came over that whole winter on nights and weekends. We grabbed pickup shots and did fx work...We built and animated alien ships, controlled rod puppet aliens, and did work on prosthetic make-ups.

Winter turned to summer and then began to turn to winter again. With the winter Glenn and his wife Tina moved to Texas. I miss Glenn quite a bit. I miss having a partner to edit with and bounce ideas off but mostly I just miss him. 

How many friends will you let freeze them (warehouse scene), put explosives on their chest, soak them in blood and then not only come back for more but do so enthusiastically. 

Daniel Delaney also plays a Majestic agent whose job it is to watch the movements of Kevin Pearson.

Dan was yet another draftee whose only tie to this movie was an unfortunate association with the director.

I met Dan in the fall of 1990. I worked at Oswego Hospital in the housekeeping department. He worked the shift after me. I would chat a bit with him at the end of my shift. He was funny and very easy going. A really likeable guy with a very warped sense of humor.

Eventually I transferred to his shift and began to hang around him quite a bit. I was a bit younger and basically began to idolize him. I envied how easily he handled people and situations and really enjoyed his company and all the people that went with him in that group. Eventually I moved on from that job and have since remained friends with Dan and have kept in contact. 

One night on a cold night in October of 1997 I showed up on his doorstep... " Dan, do you have a black suit? " An actor was nowhere to be found and I was one hour away from shooting a scene with a lot of extras playing soldiers. But I needed a man in black. He agreed to come as long as he didn't have to say any lines. A promise I would soon break....

After that night Dan his walk on role soon grew to becoming a key element in the movie. He provided a sense of menace to the MIB. His character began to work with another individual as a partner who I had none all my life and was also another draftee. My brother Jason...

Jason Forsyth was also a Majestic agent...The back story on this unnamed character is that he is a new recruit to Majestic. Recruited by the FBI right out of college he began his career in 1994 until he caught the attention of director Roberts (Tom Minion) .

I love back stories...Tried to write them for every character for a while. I wish this was a TV series and I could have actually shown them....

This unnamed character in the background was also played by someone else originally. I just wanted to have at least one MIB that looked as if he might be a new to Majestic.

Jason was pretty reluctant. The only people you seem to have leverage with in getting them to shoot with you would have to be your family. Mostly because they know that you can make their lives miserable forever if they don't comply to your wishes...

He was recruited to be in the same shoot that Dan was first in and despite it being cold and nasty outside I think he had fun. I got the feeling that the whole movie and the scene looked a bit more professional than he really expected it to. I don't know if that sold him or the constant pestering I did or had my mother do for me that kept him coming back. 

His part began to expand and both he and Dan are major elements in my favorite scenes of the movie. I don't think it would have looked as good without him.

Jason has quite a bit of untapped talent as filmmaker and performer of his own. He and high school buddies used to borrow my video camera and make some of the strangest, sickest and funniest videos I had ever scene. He's a natural performer when in his elements and for over ten years I  have believed that if he pursued it he would be a great actor.
