CRIMINAL MINDS #5

Booked as an ME Assistant.  The medical examiner wasn't really anywhere to be found.  Instead, the director just pointed to some of us and told us to take an action.  After the principals look at the body, I was to walk from the van to the body and zip it up.  On the last take, the director told the cop and I to pick the body bag up as if we were going to put it in the van.  It was heavy as fuck and I didn't want to hurt the guy inside it.

It was pretty hot for a December day but we had to look like we were in freezing cold weather.  We were all sweating pretty good and trying to get as much shade as possible downtown.  It didn't help that we had those latex gloves that have no place for your sweat to go.

The 2nd 2nd on this show has a really raspy voice as if he has cancer in his throat.  You wonder if he smokes.  He also has an impatient attitude and seems as if he doesn't really care about the background.

We did our takes and it was pretty darn easy.  A nice short 5-hour day.
