'When you're in Los Angeles, nobody bats an eye, they're so used to seeing actors, they just act really cool.'

Things quiet down several times a year as thousands of pedestrians and cyclists take over the streets of Los Angeles for CicLAvia - a 15-mile celebration from Downtown to Venice Beach on a day without cars. 100 years ago to the month a 'little tramp' named Charlie Chaplin made his first appearance on camera during the Junior Vanderbilt Cup in Venice Beach.

Actor Luke Wilson walks a similar path a century later, in the award winning short, "Satellite Beach."
