Well, the temp agency still didn't call back for when I start the full time spot they got me so it's back to prostituting ourselves for the movie business. Yes, it's more work as extras. Mike has already worked one shoot this week for a pilot called "Wild Card" in which he sat in Orleans Parish Prison for 13 hours doing...absolutely nothing. Granted, being an extra is a lot of hurry up and wait, but this set of folks are incredibly disorganized. Forty people sitting in a cell block and doing time, waiting for their turn to get out. If they were going for realism, they got it. He did get to see the tilapia tanks, though. Yeah, I had to ask him to repeat it when he said it too. Apparently the prison system used to have a fish farm and provided 90% of the area's restaurants and grocery stores with their tilapia. After Katrina, it never opened back up again and now they just have empty fish bins. Tomorrow, it's on to the glamourous town of Thibodaux for more work on "Parker". Sorry, no explosions this time.
