J.J. Abrams in an early acting role: "Regarding Henry" (Harrison Ford)

[Good Will Riker]

For those of you who have seen an early-90's film called "Regarding Henry" with Harrison Ford, there is a scene where Ford's character of Henry walks out of his apartment unsupervised (the character is suffering from memory loss in the film.), when a delivery boy arrives with bags of groceries for the maid to pickup at the door.

Abrams in character as the delivery boy (credited as "Jeffrey Abrams" in the closing credits) greets Ford's character, and then looks surprised and befuddled as he (Ford's character) walks out the door and into the elevator.

That was quite a find. The majority of us already knew that he startedout as a writer in Hollywood, but a few of us ever even knew that he acted, too.

He's come a long way since he first set foot on the Paramount lot all those years ago. Who would have thought after all those years that a minor actor in a Paramount feature film would helm 2 of the biggest franchises on the Paramount lot: MissionL Impossible and Star Trek.

I did. When I saw that scene, I knew right there and then he was going to do Star Trek and reimagine the whole franchise with Sombreros.

I've already won the lottery 100's of times. Every week I disguise myself as a different old lady or poor black family.

Abrams wrote "Regarding Henry" it was his first script, he wrote it when in college. He has a few cameos but never worked as an actor. He has also done some composing and even graphic design work (the music and floating LOST opening for Lost was made by him, on his laptop I believe). He is also an amateur magician.

I'm glad you think so. However, it's a tenuous connection to the movie, at best, and pretty trivial as a thread topic for this forum, isn't it?


Closing.
