Here you will find unknown info about the infamous PT Boomer.In an interview with SiF's Ryan, Doug Lennox shared his experience as Boomer.
Hi Ryan Yes I spent 6 weeks on the Isle of Man shooting the complete script of "Thomas" and was very proud of my work. I was told after production that even though my performance was a highlite, my character (Boomer) was too frightening for the young kids Yes I had filmed all the scenes before hitting the cutting room floor If you find any ... let me know I never saw the final cut before the screening ... that was done in Los Angeles and I live in Toronto Canada but yes all my scenes are in the original, wherever that is ... I was completely involved in all the principal photography and post production prior to the unit moving back to LA. I only saw those missing scenes for looping or clarifying audio I was told of their decision to cut me via telephone I hesitate to speculate ... however .... while filming, the DOP and 1st AD as well as most of the crew kept telling me that my performance was making the film my own ... maybe I stole too many scenes from Peter?? (joke) It's interesting that the gift to cast and crew at the wrap party was a very cool black winter jacket with the logo "Thomas and the Magic Railroad" stitched on the front and a crest of Thomas on the back ... I'm in the process of moving and because the jacket is worn out I was thinking of tossing it. I was considering removing and keeping the logo and crest and maybe giving it to someone with a child who is a Thomas fan ... I also have an original piece of art work from the set designer with autographs on it from the entire cast and some of the crew as well as other scenes without autographs as well as other memorabilia. Anyway ... I hope this sheds more light on "Boomer" and again keep in touch whenever.... Doug |
