Hardest working guy in showbiz...

Saw "The Wrestler" yesterday, and Mickey Rourke notwithstanding- the guy threw himself all over the place, and really got ripped for this part- I was reminded of just who should retain the title "Hardest Working Guy In Showbiz." (That's guy, not man, as I believe Mister James Brown cornered the market on that one a long time ago.)

It is is none other than the little film man, the mascot of AMC Movie Theatres, who I have come to learn is named "Clip."


Every show time. Every AMC Theater across the country. Introducing previews, the feature presentation, hocking concessions- the guy does it all. And all with the panache of a true showbiz professional. Throughout the years, he's gotten himself into all kinds of highjinks and wowed us wih feats of magic- I mean yesterday before the movie the guy jumped off a soda cup... not off the top of the cup, from off the cup itself. When's the last time you Tom Cruise do that?

And all he ever asks is that we enjoy the show.

So take a bow Clip- while a lifetime achievement Oscar may never come, enjoy the title of hardest working guy in in showbiz- and know you've earned it, little man.
