RINGER #3
Only seven of us were recalled and we all kind of wondered why. I had noticed the 2nd AD yesterday looking around and picking people off her list of background. Was it what we wore? Was it the color? Was it our location during the shot? Was it because we weren't really seen? Who knows? Maybe it was just dumb luck.
We did the usual. First was checking-in. Then wardrobe to retrieve the same thing I had yesterday. The cool part was that they dry cleaned my shirt for free. I got the tie I wore yesterday and then hair looked at us. A little gel for most of the men and the lady thought we looked great.
Back at the catering tent, we ate our breakfast. It was exactly the same as yesterday. Hash browns, corned beef hash, bacon, breakfast sausages and a white egg omelet for me. Half way through the meal, I realized I got way too much food and probably shouldn't have gotten that slice of honeydew, watermelon and pineapple. Still, I ate it all since lunch wouldn't come for another six hours.
We were moved to the same holding location inside stage 2 and immediately put to work. We stood inside the apartment while the principals stood outside on the balcony to talk. It was a snap and took about five to ten minutes. Then back to holding.
There we stayed for the next eleven hours. Some talking, some snoozing and some reading or browsing their phones. I did all of that. Lunch provided a nice break, but was comprised mostly by me arguing the fine points of Cesar Milan's method with an Aussie chick who was psychologically suspect. One rule that I broke is debating with a crazy chick. You'll never get your point across.
After all that waiting, we were finally called in for the last shot of the day. It was pretty ridiculous actually. No sound was used for the shot and we just stood there as part of the party in the apartment. And that was that.
I drove home, picked up some sugar and headed to Jansen's to help him bring some furniture upstairs. Then we watched half of Horrible Bosses.
