Wait For It...

It looks like I dropped the ball there on part 2 of the previous story. It did, in fact, really happen. And at one point Holly Hunter grabbed my hand and I was forced to "act" but then on the next take she completely changed her path and walked around me. I think I was bringing her down to the amateur level, which is a compliment to me as I am not even an amateur. I tried to hide in the back of the background but we were actually placed and that is where we had to stay. Me, right up front and center. I think they wanted to showcase the sweater I was given to wear: yellow floral prints. The clothes I came in were not good enough, apparently. I was told on the phone that I was to where clothes as if I was going to a revival or a church. I have been to neither but I have seen enough movies and enough episodes of Carnivale to get a good idea. But what they really wanted was a gathering of crazy people, not churchgoers. I found out about half way through my day on Saving Grace all the background that was there on this particular day was picture picked. And what did we all play? Sick, mentally disturbed people. So, in conclusion, the picture that I took at the casting agency, which, to be honest, I thought I looked awesome that day, made someone flipping through them think "sicko". Awesome.

Overall it was an interesting experience. I think it helps to do your job better if you know what it is like to do someone else's job. I mean, I'm not saying I should cut someone open or drive a forklift. I'm just saying, if those things were something I could do, then I would try them. Not that acting is easy. And not that I was acting. Oh, you know what I mean. I still call the casting number a few times a week and once in awhile something fits my description and I try to get through to get booked but all I ever get is a busy signal. I am not hungry enough I guess. I have to somehow will the phone to connect with only the power of my wanting. But instead, I just hit redial while I play games online until I finally get bored and go watch tv and make fun of the people in the background.
