Tim Reckart, the son of Timothy and Jane Reckart, has directed his first major motion picture. "The Star" is about the Christmas story. I have known his dad since I was five years old and am godfather to his vastly more talented younger sister, Maddie. I was an actor in his first motion picture shot while he was in high school. His father was cast as Satan, the head of a major American corportation. I also had a small, non-speaking role. That was very difficult for me, not speaking that is. Is my role in his climb to the top likely to get mentioned? No. It is an old show biz story.

Tim's movie is due out November 17 and is a good family film. He was nominated for an academy award for his film "Head over Heels." I include both the trailer for "The Star" and "Head over Heels" below. In show biz it doesn't do any good to hold grudges. I might get another shot. Fr. John
