Picked up a movie at Blockbuster last night after having dinner at Nana's and curled up on the couch to watch it. I'd heard that "Crank" was pretty good so I figured I'd give it a try.
Not too far into the movie I had a shock. At the introduction of one of the main characters I thought, "Carlos?!"
Carlos is an old friend that I met here in Nashville at the club I used to frequent before it closed last year. He was an amazing dancer and I remember seeing him ever since I first started going there. We started talking and hanging out and found out that we were so alike in many ways that is was almost creepy. I mean, even the way that we had out respective apartments laid out and decorated was almost identical. He had to head out of the country 2 years ago for a film and then I lost track of him. The club closed and while I know where the Sunday night crowd migrated to I have no clue where the Saturday night crowd went. So I've been hanging out at a new after hours club that is a place that I think he might go to if he was in town. But I have yet to see him.
So I was watching the movie and after thinking that I had to study the actor on the tv. He looked exactly like Carlos except for some subtle differences.
I remembered that in our conversations Carlos had told me about his twin brother who was an actor in LA.
This was his twin in this movie.
How weird is that?
So I've hunted down some contact info for Efren (he was Pedro in Napolean Dynamite as well) and I've written him in hopes that he might be able to put me back in touch with Carlos.
Still....that was a weird moment.
