So my acting debut is complete, it was everything I had hoped and dreamed it would be. Not sure how much of an actress I really am because I had a hell of a time not busting out laughing. Which was really awkward because it was about an old man in a nursing home dying and something about bonsai trees (something totally random). So my few appearances were walking past a doorway with a towel and blanket. Than a more exciting scene where Jon and I come in from the stairwell and find mud (I think they were supposed to be footprints) where the old man had gone outside to see the bonsai tree....or something. Our job was to look at the mud, to look at each other all confused than walk away. The confused part was super easy because we always seem to be confused. We tried to improv a little, but they didn't like it. And of course they wouldn't let us speak. They even made us put on makeup, which is so Hollywood. But, out of the 600 or so employees, we were the only 2 suckers to show up. It made us feel a little awkward, but a little more famous since there was only 2 of us. The movie was only 6 minutes long, but I think we were probably in 1/12 of the movie. A pretty good portion for our debut. And yes, I will get a copy to show all my friends and family. And I will be able to sell autographed copies if anyone should request one (yes, we were that good). The best part was when the director cried we did such an excellent job. Cracked me up. A bunch of other extremely random things happened while we were there, nothing a lot of people would really be interested in. But after something like that would happen, they would than put us in a closed room. I was beginning to wonder if we were set up to be on candid camera or something bizarre like that.......
Now that the movie is over, I can cross off another random thing off my list of things I want to do before I die. The only other crazy thing on the list was picking up hitchhikers, which I was able to cross off last fall. But that is another story entirely. Now I need to come up with some other off the wall things to put on the list. Good times!
