Of course now I’m obsessed with the background actors and
set when watching any commercial, TV show, or movie. It’s like I can’t focus on the foreground or
main actors – so many background actors everywhere. I like to look now for the
little touches and details location has taken to make the scene as realistic as
possible. I think of what the background
job notice read like, how wardrobe phrased the way they wanted them to dress,
how long did the shoot go for, whether the principle actors were nice to work
with, whether I could have been picked if I had submitted, what their holding
room looked like, if it was a super early call time or late night release, if
they got a nice selection for lunch, if the crafty table was as good or even
better than the one at The Following.
Etc,, etc., etc. I wouldn’t say
that working as an Extra has ruined my enjoyment of watching TV and
movies. I think it has just really
broadened, deepened and heightened my awareness. By the way, I have to say, The
Following crafty table and lunch buffet has become my baseline from which to
compare all others.
