OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Blake Garrett has toured the world with Barney and made a film about eating worms, but the 13-year-old Edmond boy stayed closer to home this summer, mowing lawns for profit.
Last summer, he spent more than two months in and around Austin, Texas, making "How to Eat Fried Worms," writer-director Bob Dolman's adaptation of Thomas Rockwell's novel.
The movie, which opened Friday, is the story of an 11-year-old who runs afoul of the class bully on the first day of school and ends up betting that he can eat 10 worms in a single day. Garrett plays one of the bully's henchmen.
