Touch Me, I’m Famous
Well, not exactly… but I did act in a movie yesterday! I was selected to be an extra for the latest Richard Linklater film, Fast Food Nation! I acted in two scenes with movie-stars Ethan Hawke and Ashley Johnson as well as Avril Lavigne. It was awesome!
My “big part” is simply walking in to a bar in the background, ordering some drinks with two friends, and then sitting down. I do walk about two feet away from Ethan Hawke’s table, so you’ll for sure be able to see my body, but I don’t know if the shot with my face in it will be included or not. Either way, I had such a great time being on the set with such talented people as Hawke and director Linklater. Being apart of a major production like this was a unique experience and I enjoyed seeing everyone work to put together the scenes.
I didn’t get to meet any of the famous stars, but we did exchange some knowing glances. Oh, and Avril Lavigne is gorgeous in person! I’ve got a bunch of stories about the day, but I’ll spare you the details of how Ethan and I laughed with me and how I ‘bumped’ into Avril… But anyways, look for me in theatres next year!

holy crap, that is exciting. you have such mad bragging rights now.
