FIRST FAMILY #2
We were recalled to Entertainment Studios. The set was the same, but this scene takes place before the one we worked on yesterday. My fellow extra didn't realize the director was the same guy from the Love Boat - Isaac. He was talking to the young man who plays the son of the first family and telling him he should work on any Shakespeare.
That's the thing that helps black kids feel like they can make it in Hollywood - there are examples out there. But for others, it's harder because we don't have any. Even the Indians have plenty to choose from. But Asians? Not so much. I mean, we have them, but they just aren't as prevalent.
Anyway, the scene had the entire family posing for a picture from the photographer, but the sister of the first lady isn't invited and its becomes an awkward moment for everyone. We did a few takes and once again, we were done.
We were wrapped but weren't invited to lunch. The girls handling the dog told us they were wrapped too and that I should have lunch as well. But I was too shy and didn't want the PA saying anything in case I wasn't allowed. I wish I could have had lunch because it would have been fun to talk to the handlers and ask them what their job was like.
I walked out and headed to In-N-Out on Venice and ordered a protein style burger. I really like them but they are kind of messy.
Then I went to my car and took a nap. Janet called and said she would be taking a nap as well so I asked if I could just hang out at her pad and wait. We were supposed to go out to West Hollywood and get free entry and a free bottle of vodka. I was hesitant to believe this would happen since it's Valentine's Day, but hey, if there's a possibility, I'll take it.
I played with Benjamin and tired him out. Poor guy, he never gets played with. When Janet was finished with her nap, she ordered some Indian food and we ate. Then she was too tired to go out. So we didn't do shit. Oh well, I didn't mind since I knew we would probably be out late and she would pay for it tomorrow.
