I've had the very good fortune to have a string of good paying cushy jobs recently--mostly commercials. This is what keeps you in the business and buffers the jobs that are low paying and not much fun (freezing in the winter and roasting in the summer). It also spoils you.
Today I was in a shoot for Unforgettable. We filmed in the Waldorf Astoria on Park Avenue and I was dressed in a spa robe for the day. I was only on set for all of about 20 minutes.
A series of commercials recently put me on a plane for Jet Blue for which I got paid very well for sitting on one of their planes for 5 hours, another one was for DirectTV which had me sitting in Brooklyn Bridge Park at sunset and into the evening looking across the East River to the view of Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge. Sat there for about 5 hours as well. The only drawback is that these were overnight or late night jobs. Another one I did for Eastbay online athletic clothing was shot on an absolutely beautiful Spring day on the campus of Queens College where we mostly just had to stand or sit outside in great weather on a spacious campus. Commercials pay 2 to 2 1/2 times as much as regular background work. Sometimes they even cut you a paycheck right on spot after the shoot. That is really nice.
On Friday, I'm booked on a new cop show starring the one and only J Lo. She plays a single mom who is an undercover detective or something like that. Ray Liotta (who I love) also stars. I'm really hoping they are both on set on Friday. Wanna witness first hand that J Lo mystique.
I'm up for a featured extra on the Food Network where I would portray a wealthy upper crust society woman who has to show disgust and disdain for a poorly prepared meal. Doubt I will get it but it's fun to even be considered. That spot will pay more than 3 times what regular background work pays.
