Blast from the past: The Real World Miami
A broadcast TV friend who is a big fan of The Real World sent me these old Real World Miami clips which feel like another lifetime (and hairstyle) ago compared to the new Real World cast. If you watch closely in the clips you'll see a younger familiar face with a crew cut wondering what the heck is he doing in this crazy house with seven complete opposites off the Venetian causeway and dating Dan Renzi.
And this was the last episode of the Miami season. I appear at the 13:38 mark when I pick up Dan from "The Real World" house on Rivo Alto Road on the Venetian Islands in Miami Beach as everyone packs up and moves out. I then again pop at the 16:16 mark when we say our goodbyes (at the time) at Miami International Airport (I was an emotional mess) before he headed to Milan to model.(Of course, the producers set the goodbye scene to a George Michael song.) There is a reason I no longer sport this short-cropped, Ceasar haircut (because of this show!)

Ah, those crazy cast members and the memories. Even though I knew before this you were a "guest star" on Real World, it STILL trips me out.
ReplyDeleteLoved the hair cut though!
The camera movements were making me nauseated. I really liked Boston Boys Club, I am glad I bought it.
ReplyDeleteI had such a crush on you watching the show when I was younger and couldn't understand what you saw in Dan, lol.
ReplyDeleteThank you Stephen for stopping by and for my remembering my short time on "The Real World Miami." I could totally see what you are saying when I look back now lol
