Mayor Nutter Is Ready for His Close-Up

Mayor Nutter says he's looking forward to tonight's Philadelphia premiere of "Law Abiding Citizen," the Jamie Foxx action film shot in and around City Hall earlier this year. The mayor filmed a walk-on role in the film, which he said has made the final cut.

Nutter joked about his performance, saying: "The ability to stand so quietly and calmly, I think will be recognized by the academy. After the premiere, I'm looking forward to a number of calls from agents."

"Law Abiding Citizen" screens tonight at the Prince Music Theater as part of the Philadelphia Film Festival.

    Nice, while the city is in a financial crisis, you got the mayor working Hollywood, the Governor working Comcast Sports Net, and City Council taking the summer off. Philly rots from within and we get movie night at City Hall, that’s called leadership.
