New Gloucester furniture-maker gets national TV cameo
New Gloucester's Chris Becksvoort has made Shaker furniture for Yo-Yo Ma and other big names. On Thursday, it's Becksvoort and not just his work that will be in the limelight.
The Bangor Daily News reported that the world-renowned Shaker furniture expert will have a cameo on the popular NBC comedy series "Parks and Recreation" during a scene set at a woodworkers' convention.
Becksvoort told the paper he's not sure if his lines will be used when the scene airs, but noted he does get a mention as a "master of Shaker design" in a line from leading actor Nick Offerman, who plays the character of Ron Swanson in the show, and who invited Becksvoort in for the cameo.
