Gainesville, FL - It came as a bit of a surprise to local artist Matt DiPalma when he received an e-mail from the art department of the USA Network program Royal Pains. "I get a lot of questions about historical paperwork in general," DiPalma said, "but this was a first." The e-mail stated that the network was "...looking to do a lot of German paperwork for 3 people: A 50-something year old man, his deceased father (born around 1917), and HIS father (born around 1886)." The papers involve the mysterious and wealthy German aristocrat named Boris (played by actor Campbell Scott), benefactor of the show's main character Dr. Hank Lawson (Mark Feuerstein). DiPalma produced and sent to New York an inch tall stack of birth certificates, marriage licenses, military awards, medical documents, and a number of legal documents and deeds spanning from 1802 to 2007 in near record time - three days. Lyle Booth, the artist responsible for contacting DiPalma, wrote in an informal e-mail verifying that they had received the reproduction documents, and that he was "...bringing these down to props and watch their heads explode." "In fact, we had to replace the entire prop department," Booth added. "Okay, maybe not, but know this: Matt's work is simply excellent. Everything looked like the real thing and his professionalism shines in his obvious love of meticulous historical accuracy (including type faces, stamps, paper stock, document aging - even the spelling of names to reflect familial origins). His sunny demeanor and helpful attitude capped with his speed in production and delivery of the documents, all within budget, truly makes him an asset to hold on to." DiPalma's work will appear in the episode tentatively titled "Nobody's Perfect," which is scheduled to run on the USA Network at 10:00 pm on Thursday, August 20, 2009. The episode will encore on the following Saturday at 10:00 am and Monday at 11:00 pm.

DiPalma, who single-handedly runs the web site ReproPaperwork.com, has become a "go to" person for information on and reproductions of historical paperwork. He receives a number of inquiries every week relating to paperwork, mostly regarding documents from the Second World War. "As a reenactor, collector of historical documents and a graphic artist, I tried to think of something I could do that would allow me to combine my love of history with my graphic skills and abilities. That's when I created ReproPaperwork.com." DiPalma developed his web site primarily with other reenactors in mind, most of whom are interested in reproductions of World War II documents. Although he largely gets calls from reenactors for items for their living history displays, DiPalma is no stranger to motion picture work. "I was in the movie My Christmas Soldier, both as an extra and a vendor," DiPalma said. "I provided all the reproduction ration cards for them." My Christmas Soldier, set in Georgia during the Christmas of 1943, revolves around a boy's discovery of a train full of German prisoners of war, and that they are not the demons that local propaganda posters have painted them to be. "I've also sent reproduction travel documents to an independent movie filmed in Canada that has yet to be released." DiPalma stated that he is expanding his line of reproductions to include other time periods, and hopes to offer educational packages of reproduction documents for public and private schools and home schoolers.
