CSI NY #6
When you call the Central Casting line to get a gig, sometimes the casting agent will tell you not to call-in if you have worked the same show in the past three weeks. I am beginning to think that they just say this and don't actually know if you've worked a show or not because I got booked by my service on the same show the very next day.
However, this was a different episode so that may have been the difference. Who knows? Today, I played a detective within the CSI unit. All the extras did crosses the entire day. It was extremely painful on my feet because I forgot to bring my little chair. I thought we would have the chance to sit but I was so very wrong. My feet hurt so bad, I began to realize how you can torture someone just by making them stand for eight hours. Even though this would not be considered torture technically, it is extremely cruel.
The good thing that came out of this was that this happened to be the 100th episode of CSI NY. So we were all invited to a sound stage that was converted into a dining hall with all kinds of fancy food. There was a mountain of shrimp cocktail, rows of pretty good sushi, lobster tail, filet mignon or some kind of delicious meat (I didn't go for it because I figured I'd just do an all seafood lunch) and chilled sparkling cider. We thought it might be real champagne, but it wasn't.
All the big shots were present and Jerry Bruckheimer and a media mogul (I forgot his name but saw a news show that said he was one of the richest men in entertainment) made speeches. When it was time to toast, we all looked at each other and wondered if we could pop the bubbly. One guy next to me wouldn't do it because he was terrified of getting in trouble. I frowned and that and asked the girl across from me to start pouring. Unfortunately, none of us could get the thing open since it required a bottle opener. I was surprised no one had one attached to their keychain.
I met one guy who looked like Jay Mohr who started to tell me how he's hustled himself into the entertainment business. He moved here from the midwest and tries to network network network himself toward success. He bartends, is a physical trainer and an aspiring actor. What surprised me was his drive and his willingness to do whatever it takes to be successful.
In some ways I admire that energy. If you were around him, you wouldn't help but get pumped up and motivated by him. I guess there's something to be said about the people you keep company. Perhaps I've learned that there's more than one way to look at things and more importantly, that I would like to be inspirational to others I know.
