NYTIMES/ Austin resident Turk Pipkin helped film and produce the documentaries “Nobelity” and its sequel, “One Peace at a Time.” Filming requires travel and there's also travel for promotion, so the occasional actor spends a lot of time in planes and airports. He told the NYTimes: "It seems like I’m constantly in the air or at an airport. Because we’re a nonprofit, I’ve learned to make do with economy seating even though I’m 6 feet 7 inches tall and have to wrap my legs around my body to try to get comfortable. Fortunately, I try to stick with one airline to rack up points, and a lot of times I can snag an upgrade."
AND..."Other times people are interested in hearing about what it was like to work on “The Sopranos.” I’m always surprised when people recognize me. I had only a small role in the series, playing Janice Soprano’s crazy boyfriend Aaron Arkaway, a born-again, narcoleptic hippie. People love the show, and no matter what part of the world I’m in “The Sopranos” always has a fan base. "
