Photo of the Week #132

Looks like I have an exotic animal theme going for my Photo of the Week, this time Crystal the Monkey perched on the shoulder of actor Justin Kirk on the red carpet at the NBC Upfront at Radio City Music Hall. You might recognize Justin Kirk from his role as the lovable Andy Botwin on Showtime’s Weeds. He’ll be starring as Dr. George Coleman alongside Crystal in a new sitcom, Animal Practice, this fall on NBC. This won’t be Crystal’s first time on screen though. The journeyman capuchin monkey has appeared in over 20 films since 1997, perhaps most famously as the drug dealing monkey in The Hangover Part II.

Photo tech specs: Canon 7D camera, 70-200mm f2.8 IS II lens @ 70mm, f3.2, 1/320th, ISO 1250.
