Shot my commercial today. It was quick and painless, lol. My call was 6am and I was out by 10:30am....very cool. Especially since I ended up shooting FOUR spots!! The spots were VERY dialogue heavy and the director thanked me for being so well prepared. Apparently, many of the actors who shot yesterday came in very unprepared. One girl didn't have any of the dialogue memorized. She said she figured there would be changes so she didn't bother! Stuff like that is SO crazy to me! I mean seriously, how can you be serious about your role as an actor and show up totally unprepared? Simply, amazing. Anyway the shoot was Excellent and I even recognized one of the guys on the crew from Let's Talk, which was very cool. During one of my takes he gave me a big Thumbs Up :) somehow it felt really good to know someone on the set and have them rooting for me. I felt like an old pro, lol. It was also good to see someone else there who looked like me, lol. I think we were the only two people of color in the entire building...which is another phenomenon of Hollywood that blows my mind!!
Ah well...that's another subject for another time, lol....
