"Michael Rappaport" reminded me.
"Zebrahead", if you come across it, was done here. I actually auditioned
for it but lost out due to not having any proper representation (ie, an
agent). Which wasn't so bad because by the time the film finished, my
character just stood around and grinned. The character's name, which,
unfortunately, didn't change, was Nut(?!)
Then there was that Danny DeVito flick where he teaches some army guys
Hamlet. It had one name in the theaters and a different one on video and I
can't remember either one. In fact, DeVito seems to do a lot of film stuff
in Detroit. I remember when everyone was fighting over who controlled the
Hudson's Building he was filming down there late one night (real, real
late). I didn't see DeVito, who was producing or something, but I saw
Dabney Coleman (is that his name) and, I think, Bonnie Bedelia. They were
supposed to be some kind of couple or something (can you tell I never saw
the completed film?).
And how can folks forget "Martin" which was shot in a studio, but set in
Detroit and took place in the apartments on Jefferson (yeah, I forgot that
name, too, but you always saw them during the 'transitions').
Last, but not least, I gotta put in a vote for Aaliyah, whose film wasn't
shot here, but I'm telling ya, one look and I'm like, "Ah! Detroit!"
