Gladiator talking head required (US)
#1
Got this request:
Quote:I am a development associate at Morningstar Entertainment, an award-winning nonfiction and documentary television production company based in Burbank, CA, USA. We are currently producing a television show about warrior cultures and actual combat forms and weapons they used, and we are looking for experts in Roman Gladiator combat. We are looking for an on-camera expert that can confidently speak about and demonstrate the Roman gladiators’ weapons and battle tactics. If you know any people in the United States that share your knowledge of Roman gladiator combat skills and weaponry, I would sure appreciate the references.
Greets!

Jasper--

The guy you need is Dr. Arik L. Greenberg, curator /director of the Museum of the Ancient Roman Soldier (MARS) right here in sunny LA. MARS also has a ready display of gladiatorial artifacts and memorabilia, both original and replica, and a stock of trained gladiator reenactors.

Put the Morningstar people in touch with me directly (I'm the museum's media liaison) and I'll set everything up with Arik.

I've emailed them. Maybe they can pit Martin and me in a munera sine missione to see who gets the job.

Hmmm, I see my name being bandied about re some gladiator show. I guess I'll have to try to contact these LA people and see what is what. As for a match with John Roberts, sounds like fun, although I have gotten rather sluggish lately. The years they be a showin.
