I've never been in a movie, but Message in a Bottle was shot at the beach where I was a ranger at the time. I got to see just how annoying Hollywood people are up close. It was my job on one particular day to make sure that they adhered to the rules of the park (HA!), like staying out of the dunes so as not to damage them. This also happened to be the day that Kevin Costner and half of the film crew got stranded on Fox Island because they didn't listen to us local yokels about the tide and the speed at which it comes in. They called Marine PAtrol to come rescue their expensive star and got told: he can wait until the tide goes back out just like anyone else. They eventually bribed a lobsterman with enough money to be worth risking getting his boat bashed in on the rocks to go out and rescue poor Mr. Costner.
