Sitcom set in fictional Montana town being filmed in Laurel, aimed for Netflix

They call it “Loco.”

The characters in a new sitcom being filmed in Laurel are kind of crazy. Plus, many of the scenes are being filmed at Laurel’s Caboose Saloon and Casino, a nod to Laurel's railroading roots.

If you've ever hankered to be in a sitcom, this could be your big break. But you've got to keep it real.

Writer, director and actor Junior Michael Ray is looking for extras for scenes filmed this weekend at Bretz RV, 2999 Old Hardin Road, on Saturday, and the Caboose Saloon on Sunday.

Ray described the show as a mix between the long-running TV sitcom "Cheers" and the new Netflix comedy, "The Ranch," with Ashton Kutcher, Debra Winger and Sam Elliott. 

Bringing in locals adds authenticity to the characters, Ray said. His Hollywood credits include "The Toast," "Chasing Yesterday" and 2009's "Shadow Walkers." 

"My vision is I want to make this a made-in-Montana story featuring Montana people," Ray said. "I'm just over doing shows with explosions with all the language in them. I just want a show with a good story that can entertain the whole family."

I have big doubts when Hollywood people tell Montanans to keep it real I’d wager once they have this all edited every guy is going to be humping his sister, hanging slightly framed bi men on barbed wire fences, wrestling steer and screaming about Jesus.

He’s good in just about everything he’s in. Including the old “Mission Improbable” even The “Big Lobowski”. (The dude abides)

My mom was madly in love with him in “Tombstone”. LOL

Yes, Kilmer stole that movie.

Excellent modern day western.

Yet he hates talking about it and says he wishes he didn’t do it.

I’ve only heard of ONE star who said the movie that brought him fame and fortune was fun and great to do and his favorite.

Al Pacino said that about “The Godfather”

He said his favorite line from any movie he made is “I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse” :)
