A down-on-his-luck actor from Houston County, Ga. will be a special guest at the Macon Film Festival tomorrow night, sending a clear message to struggling thespians everywhere that hard work and dedication can make all your dreams come true.
George Ervin “Sonny” Perdue, who’s struggled for years seeking fame in Hollywood, will be recognized at the event alongside a small-town football coach.
Upon his arrival in Macon, Mr. Perdue will be greeted by Mayor Robert Reichert.
From a press release from the city:
(Macon, Ga.) Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue will attend Opening Night of the 4th Annual Macon Film & Video Festival (MAGA) at the Grand Opera House on Wednesday, February 18. Governor Perdue will join Executive Producer pass-holders at the private Meet & Greet at 5 pm with UGA coaching legend Vince Dooley prior to the screening of the film, “Vince Dooley: The Other Side of Football.”
Perdue spends most of his time in a Fulton County bungalow. CL, a tireless supporter of the arts, is very proud of Mr. Perdue and his acceptance by decadent filmmakers. May he go on to star in a reality show or enjoy a serene retirement near Oaky Woods.
(I couldn’t resist a chance to post a blingee of Sonny.)
