I tell you what, it's not easy being in the movies. We've got it pretty slick as extras, but it's still essentially blue collar work. Wake up at 5:30 am for 7:00 call time, nosh on what may or may not be a good breakfast (in this case it was great...lunch, not so much), sit around and wait, and then do exactly as the director tells you in all kinds of weather or risk his ire. And oh yeah, don't look at the stars of the show. All in all though, I've had worse jobs and it is fun when you're actually doing something.
It appears that Mike and I will have some up front face time on screen with today's primary actor Jennifer Lopez. The beginning of the shoot went smoothly, then lunch just seemed to drag. It was a beautiful day today so cast, crew, and extras were all relishing the pleasant weather. Unfortunately, we forgot the sunblock and now Mike and I look like Bob the Tomato. The entire second half of the shoot was an exercise in deliberately not looking conspicuous. And through it all, I was reminded of what is, quite possibly, J-Lo's most striking and memorable moment of her acting career. Enjoy! http://youtu.be/ENLPC1MxqDg
