While watching TV last night my hubby swore he saw one of his old friends in a commercial. I tried looking to see if I recognized him too, but the scene was over too fast. But it is possible as this friend used to consistently be an extra in movies as well as commercials when he was younger. And so did dear old hubby! Yep, these two guys, in their bachelor days, made quite a nice living from doing extra work. My hubby had the highlight of his "acting" career come from being an extra on the comedy television show,Martin . He played a customer in a restaurant and while as an extra he had no lines, he did get to have direct interaction with the stars of the show. To this day hubby plays the video of that Martin episode to anyone that visits and has never seen it before. He is so proud!
Anyhoo--back to last night....we still don't know for sure if that was our friend, but it sure got the hubby excited and remembering his days of playing an extra. I have often though how fun it would be to get up and head to the studios to play an extra in movies and television shows. Imagine, making $100-$300 a day mingling with Hollywood actors. Now that would be awesome. But with being a mommy to three kids, I think I will have to wait a while to start my "acting" career.
But I know there are companies ready to help me become the "extra of my dreams" when I am ready, like Talent6.
