    Sometimes extras have to be kids, so filming can stretch out a few days.

    Knowing there’s kids on set can actually be nice, because you know there’s only so long they can shoot for, instead of stretching a Friday night out indefinitely. Especially if it’s a director like Fincher who is known for doing a lot of takes.

      Acted as a kid, mainly in locals and some true crime shows for New Dominion Pictures, back before the true crime mania.

      This one lady who was on a lot of the same projects I was on called me “her little guarantee” meaning she got to get home to her kids at reasonable hours because I was on set. Lol
