Thanks to those of you who read through my “Week in the Life” entries, I know they were long. I know I listed that there would be seven total entries, but last weekend was not exciting enough for a play by play entry, instead I’m going to give you a summary update.
As you may remember, on Friday I received a call from Central Casting letting me know that they wanted me to be an extra for Law and Order on Monday. So Monday morning I woke up at 5am to get ready and was on location for my 7am call time. We filmed a few scenes in an office downtown set up to look like workers on Wall Street (where the victim worked) then we moved in the afternoon to Chelsea Piers where all the Law and Order sets are located. The remainder of the day was court room scenes in which I played two different background characters. I was finally released at 7:45pm after 13 long hours on set. As a non-union member still I am paid $80 for up to 10 hours of work but then get time and a half after that.
Tuesday was a big day because not only was I trying to recoup from the previous day of filming but I found out I would be filming for Law and Order: Criminal Intent on Wednesday! Not only that but I received a call from Theatreworks inviting me for a callback to their production of “Max and Ruby!” This was great news for me because I have been called in by this company three times before and last week (the morning I got to the audition at 6:15am) I went to their open call where over 250 people showed up to audition. To be called back from the cattle call was definitely a boost to my confidence and I excitedly scheduled my callback for Friday. This company would be the next step up for me since they not only tour around the country but also perform in NYC at the Off-Broadway Theatre, The Lucille Lortel. To jump ahead, Friday’s callback went great and they asked me to come again on Monday for another callback! Its crazy how many rounds of callbacks there are for shows over here but I’m happy each time I make it one step further …
I promise to give more info on all the Law and Order shoots soon, as well as this Tuesday I’m filming all day for the new ABC Series, “Life on Mars” and for this one I get to be costumed by the wardrobe department because I’m playing a hippie at a club scene!!! But with my second callback tomorrow I want to get some sleep (especially since I just babysat today for 11 hours straight!) More to come soon … I promise!
PS: Read Cali’s great comment and added Lyrics to the entry from Tue September 9th … so true … thanks Cali, I forgot about that song!
