The Cape Revisited

Last March I posted about my top hat being purchased for the NBC show The Cape. Well, last Sunday in episode three Kozmo it appeared in the hands and on the head of magician character Max Malini.

The only problem being poor Max is wearing it backwards! The seam shouldn't be in the front. Later in the episode the Russian villain Gregor Molotov poses as Max by wearing his coat and hat. He also has the hat on backwards! Watch the full episode here.

Useless triva: Keith David, who plays the character of Max and is pictured above, also played the father in There's Something About Mary. His wife's character was played by Markie Post with whom I went to high school.

The Cape: Coming to the Small Screen

NBC is about to begin shooting the pilot of a new TV show entitled The Cape. The lead will be played by ER's David Lyons, who had the role of Dr. Simon Brenner on the hit TV show. Lyons will be playing the main lead of Vince Faraday, a police officer who dresses up as a crime fighting superhero because his name gets disgraced and he has to clear it, while also on a mission to find a way to be reunited with his son. Director of the pilot is Simon West, who also directed the recent Human Target pilot.


And how does this relate to me you're asking? Well, the costumer just purchased one of my steamy leather top hats (pictured above) to be part of the show. Below you can read an excerpt from the pilot which describes a motley crew of circus characters. I think the top hat will fit right in!
