My first... and probably last... acting job.

Post Reply New Topic

A couple Indie filmmakers I know asked me to appear in a reshoot of material they had originally filmed in 1989, which might be considered racially insensitive today (a white actor playing an Asian fry cook). So, they refilmed said scene with the original actor cut out, and added me. The character evolved quickly to this sinister fry cook.
Included is new footage in another scene, using the son of another writer we know.

Oooh... An actual role.
I've only ever been an extra and I have to hunt with freeze frame to find myself.
As far as I know only 2 were published. Phar Lap and Queen of the Damned.
I will never forget arriving early at the QOTD set and watching the arrival of three busloads of extras. The carpark was over a rise and the first time you knew they were there was the sudden appearance of a hundred converging punks and goths.

I was in Philadelphia Shakespeare in the Park once. I was a real payed gig.

Mostly did college and “little theatre” gigs for fun other than that.

Congratulations on your film debut.

Applause! I enjoyed the video.
