BIG BANG THEORY #5

I was booked as a cheesecake factory patron again.  Luckily, I got to sit and didn't have to make any moves.  Sometimes you're required to listen and make sure you cross at the right line.  But not today.

We were seated at a table and we simply pretended to talk while we were at the table.  It's always fun to be in front of a live audience and that's what we got to do today.  The big plus is that we are fed inside the commissary when we shoot live.  That's the perk for a live audience.

AUSTIN & ALLY #3

Banking on the popularity of Glee, Austin & Ally decide to start a glee club and compete.  Seems like such a rip off to me, but hey, that's show business.

All we did was sit in the bleachers and watch them do their routine over and over.  It was actually pretty impressive, but all the different angles and doing the takes over and over got pretty old pretty fast.

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE

I saw Takashi in wardrobe who I remember from Body of Proof.  He had me put some jeans on since we were supposed to be in New York and doing some shopping at some store.

It was just me, a black guy, the girl from Liv and Maddie yesterday and a white gentleman who had some great stories about the way he used to make money back in the day.  He owned a bar, he used to make sure foreclosed homes were clean and empty and other jobs where you had to have some hustle.  Those jobs all dried up and now he's left to doing background.

We were held in a nice holding room with couches and tables.  It was one of those nice ones inside and is usually used for day players.  But then, after a few hours, we were let go because they decided not to use us, or not to shoot the scene we were in.  And that was that!

LIV AND MADDIE

Liv and Maddie is a show about identical twins but to save money, they actually use the same actress.  To make it look like she has a twin, they use a photo double.

The only thing kind of fun about working on this show is that we got to get our dance on.  I was booked as a yogurt shop patron, but there was a point where we got to watch Liv or Maddie sing, so we had to really act like we were rockin'.  What isn't fun about the show is the low rate.

I was placed next to a girl who kind of looked like a Mormon girl I went on a few dates with.  She has an amazing ass and has a nice body, kind of like the Mormon.

SCANDAL #3

I was a little worried about an evening call, but in the end, it was just a simple scene and we were done fairly quickly.  I was booked as a reporter and the fun part was that the director wanted us to actually ask questions when Lisa Kudrow walks away after making a little speech.

Interestingly, it was actually a little harder than I thought.  When people are asking questions over you, it's hard to put your question in.  It was even had thinking of a question to ask  At one point, I asked how old she was (but more in jest than anything).

We were held in the side driveway of a fancy home but we started to smell some kind of gas so we all just moved to the front yard since we were kind of worried about getting sick.  But since we didn't have to stay there too long, we didn't really worry about it too much.
