I Coulda Been Somebody

Update on being an extra.  Over Thanksgiving weekend, my wife took some pictures of me in my suit, and I'm using the black and white version of that as my headshot.  And I made my actor's resume with my very meager acting experience.  I saw a website where it said to just lie all over the place on your actor's resume.  I can't imagine seriously trying to be an actor.

So I sent my headshot and resume to three different jobs I saw on craigslist: office worker in a corporate film, a short film where I'd be a referee for a wrestling match (yes, that would be comical), and an extra in a commercial for a local casino.  Surprisingly, I heard back from the casino commercial director, but filming would have conflicted with a networking event.  I decided to decline the commercial and do the responsible thing.  Filming was actually done at the casino, but that's like two hours away from here.  I could've been able to do both if filming was here.  Oh well.  This is encouraging though.  I didn't expect anyone to get back to me.
