Stills from #releasecoyotevsacme . I had a very minor part in this film , I had no lines but the movie has a deeper meaning to me that some don’t understand. Let me go into the story a little more for those who care to listen . 

My name is Steven Ray Byrd , I am an actor in New Mexico and also a social media influencer on @tiktok_us (laughtermedic.official) with almost half a million followers . I just love to entertain when I can . I am represented by Dme talent agency and have a few minor speaking roles and commercial work. 

I am a former Army medic , children’s behavior specialist and multiple management jobs in retail but I wanted to pursue film and social media a bit more .  

Most importantly though , I am a father of my amazing daughters and my son who I lost over 3 years ago .  My son was a huge fan of @JohnCena …my Mother (who passed away on my daughter’s birthday ) was also a huge fan .  

I found out just a few months after my son’s murder that they were filming a movie with him here in New Mexico. Although I did not audition , they had some featured extra roles available so I asked my agent if it was ok if I submitted because it would be amazing to be on set with someone who my son was a big fan of and that my Mom adored.  I was selected to be on the Acme Legal team and it was the first time I had smiled in awhile . 

@dgreenmachine was the director of this amazing movie and little did he know , he put me in a spot that gave me an everlasting memory which I know both my son and mother would of been so proud of. He picked me to sit next to him in a scene …and although I am briefly seen …I was able to get this image . This image of John Cena and I is framed now on my wall ..it has so much meaning to me ..(I am going to manifest getting it signed by @dgreenmachine @bauzilla and @JohnCena one day btw) 

I worked on this film for a couple of weeks and the cast and crew were absolutely amazing . @OrvilleIV was amazing as usual and everyone on the crew and all actors , background included , brought much needed smiles to my face during a very dark time in my life .  I’ve been on many film sets and I’ve seen how much hard work goes into these films . 

When I heard that it was canceled , I actually cried . Yes , tears flowed down my face as I was truly looking forward to seeing #CoyoteVsAcme , for personal reasons and of course just to see the outcome of what everyone worked so hard on . The fact that the movie was already completed @NedThorne @SteveBPrice and many others on the crew including @dgreenmachine just saw their hard work tossed aside .  I started a petition, got 20,000 plus signatures but also realized how many @LooneyTunes fans were very upset about its cancellation.  

The cast, the crew , the fans …all deserve to see this movie . I fought so hard for this movie because I felt like I owed it to everyone there ….because they helped me through the darkest time of my life without even realizing it . As a person who loves film and art , give the people what they want and show all the people that make your movies come alive , that you appreciate and respect their work. Yes , we got paid and yes it is @WB_Animation movie to do whatever they please with it but canceling completed films doesn’t instill a lot of faith in the cast , crew or the people who pay the cost of tickets . So do the right thing ….#releasecoyotevsacme
