We learned that a major motion picture was filming in Phoenix and I dragged my partner H. down to the open casting call for “ethnic looking” actors a few weeks ago. I thought it would be a fascinating way to see the entire process and learn more about “the biz.” The questionnaire for actors included three interesting questions. See my answers below.

1. Would you be comfortable nude?
No, but thanks for asking! I’m flattered.

2. Are you comfortable around nudity?
With a bunch of strangers? Not really.

3. Would you be willing to perform simulated sex?
Not without laughing.

The following week, H. got a callback and I didn’t. He answered yes to everything!
He ended up at a church picnic scene in the blazing sun in Litchfield.

So, last week I finally got a call. Would I be available Monday for a casino scene? Call time: 6:30am. I said yes…
