Wanna know how to get in the movies? Show up on the set with a bunch of hot dogs.

*Translation: That's what happened to Manolis Alpogianis, owner of America's Dog restaurants, who decided to visit the crew on the set of "Il Mare," which stars Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. Alpogianis showed up Wednesday, winding up in the film as a hot dog vendor at Navy Pier.
