South Africa trip pics
What’s up, everybody! I’ve had an amazing time here in South Africa. The people were great and I got the chance to see a lot of really cool things. These are some of the the pictures I took during the trip, which I also put up on my Twitter. You are following me on Twitter, right? RIGHT?! (If not, go here: http://twitter.com/VerneTroyer. I’ll forgive you).
Enjoy guys and gals!

A lot of people ask me how I got into acting in the first place, and the truth is that long before Austin Powers came around, I was a stunt double on some great films.
Check out the interview above for the full story!
You think I can bring it to Los Angeles with me?
Check out this sweet baby lion I got to hold at this lion park in South Africa!
So far this trip has been amazing…maybe I should stick around for awhile.
Time for some Olympic hockey

The Winter Olympics are going on right now, and even though I’m working down in South Africa, I’m trying to keep up. It’s crazy being here and seeing highlights from Canada where there’s nothing but snow and ice.
You all know I’m a big Detroit Red Wings fan, and I’m looking forward to seeing some of those guys play when hockey starts up. Guys like Brian Rafalski (team USA), Pavel Datsyuk (team Russia), Niklas Kronwall. Niklas Lidstrom, and Henrik Zetterberg (team Sweden), Joni Pitkanen (team Finland), and any more that I may have missed.
Just come back safe, guys, we have a Stanley Cup to win!

Hey everybody! Hope you all had a great Valentine’s Day.
I shot a video of my playing the game I wrote about awhile ago called The Saboteur. It’s a pretty fun game, and there are some cool things in it. If you are into the open-world, GTA types of games, I recommend checking it out.
Have any of you guys/girls played it? You can head over to my social site at LookingUp.com for some more video of my daily life, and put up some of your own, too! Later!
The Oscars…
So the Oscars are coming up and, as some of you will know, Dr Parnassus has been nominated for two: Dave Warren and Anastasia Masaro (Art Directors) and Caroline Smith (Set Decoration) for Best Art Decoration and Monique Prudhomme for Best Costume Design. Well, obviously I wanna wish those guys the best of luck. If you’ve seen the film you will know they did a great job and, if you haven’t seen the film – GO SEE IT!!!!!
Anyway, while I was looking at Oscar stuff I came across this great site and competition and I thought I would tell you about it. TheAuteurs.com is having an Oscar prediction competition and you could win $10,000 if you correctly predict all the winners from the list of nominees. We always have a sweepstake at the Oscar party I go to and its really fun, so I thought it was a great idea…. It’s really easy to enter and you should have a go. CLICK HERE
Good luck to the Dr P. nominees and good luck if you enter the competition!
Oh when the Saints!!!
What a Super Bowl… Awesome game , amazing comeback and I could not be happier for the Saints and for New Orleans. had a great time watching the game at the Playboy Mansion… Thanks Heff! I loved the commercials as well. Had me laughing a lot!
Congrats again to the Saints and it would’ve been fun to be in the French Quarter last night. I hear it was quite a party!

VILIV X70 Laptop
I think most of us have heard about the announcement that Apple released the new iPad. I haven’t tried it but it is getting a lot of bad reviews. So I came across this and thought it would be cool. I haven’t tried this yet either but It looks like it would be interesting. Check out the video below…
