- It was, in fact, the Olympian Kurt Thomas, inventor of the
- ``Thomas Flair'', which did appear in the movie.
-
- I think he wanted to start a movie career.
- Unfortunately, he couldn't act.
- I think he and the makers of ``Gymkata'' realized this near the start.
- For most of the movie he seems to be enjoying himself;
- instead of acting, he had fun.
-
- It's still really bad. The plot (more like an excuse) is ludicrous.
- Probably, Thomas realized this, too.
-
- All in all, I highly recommend this one, both for Joel and the bots,
- and for the viewer at home.
