Batter Up!

So here is the first post of this new blog (superceeding my previous blog on that myspace place).

[edited for content--9/18] Tonight finds me on an episode of a show that I cannot name now because I had to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement to appear before camera (i.e. get paid). First time for everything.
Last week I was in an episode of the new show The Whole Truth (starring Rob Morrow from the previous show "Numbers" on CBS). I had a scene where I had what in the business is called a 'money shot' reacting to his character getting onto a bus at "Rikers Island" prison. Once again, I'll know whether or not I appear when it airs.

That's the thing about being a Background Actor (otherwise known as an "Extra" ). You just never know until you watch, or until friends around the country call/email to congratulate you on being in a movie they just watched. Except in this case ("Blades of Glory") I didn' know that I had had a scene in the movie. I had just been on set as a Background performer.

And when I called the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) about it, I was asked, "Was it ten seconds or longer?" To which I had to answer "No," unfortunately.

Life in The Industry.
