If you ever wondered about what it’s really like getting cast and working on a feature film, then you will want to watch this video.
No Idea
Most people have no idea what actors go through in order to audition and actually book a role. You will see behind the scenes of an actor’s life, and
learn the realities of a working actor who:
1. auditions for a film
2. is put on hold/pinned
3. asked to hold dates
4. and then actually do the job.
About the Project
I auditioned for the Tom Hanks feature, A Man Called Otto in
February. After 4 shoot date schedule changes, I did not actually work
on the film until April.
It Was Worth the Wait
Actors need to learn to “go with the flow.” There are so many factors
that can change a shooting date. Anything from the weather
not being right for an outdoor shoot, to a cast member getting sick.
I Had a Wonderful Day
As you will see in the 2nd video, I had the pleasure of spending
the day and working with the wonderful Tom Hanks. Everything
you might have heard or read about him is true. He is such a kind,
friendly and special person. His wife, Rita Wilson, who produced the movie was also so nice and generous.
You will find that the atmosphere of a film set starts at the top. If the producer, director and stars are wonderful, that sets the tone
for everyone on the set. The great atmosphere transfers from the wardrobe department to the P.A.’s (Production Assistants) and everyone else connected with the project. If you ever get a chance to work with Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson or the director Marc Forster, jump at the opportunity.
