Hollywood is a magical place. It can create a vivid, 3D, futuristic world. And a white cab driver.
My friend/improv classmate Michael Villar, above, is that cabbie, appearing now in John Mayer’s new video for the song “Half of My Heart.” You can catch him here in the final minute of the song.
Michael had a fun shoot, and said John Mayer is a really good guy. As they drove around downtown LA, making fake banter for the camera, John would say things like “Can you pull over there, I gotta take a shit.”
Michael, by the way, beat cancer recently, and the day after our first Upright Citzens Brigade graduation in May, he beat an insurance company in court, after they tried to reneg on about 30K in bills. Safe to make him an early nominee for Guy Who Had the Most Kickass 2010.
