I ain't no extra, I'm a leading man

Okay, I ain't no leading man, but I was an extra in a made for TV film called Intimite Strangers a couple days ago. Judging by the title I'm expecting it to be one of those late night movies they show on Bravo or what Mark refers to as "Christian porn.". During my day of shooting, we shot a few scenes at O'Hanlon's where I was amongst a crowd of people having some post-work sociables and dancing up a storm to a band from Saskatoon miming and lip-synching. It was so incredibly hot and humid that those of us who got stuck dancing ended up sweating profusely. We later shot a coffee shop scene so I got to perfect my talent of pretending to hold a conversation with someone by miming words. Our holding area was at the old Apocalypse Records and judging by the basement, the name was very appropriate. The bathrooms were held in the dungeon-like basement so it was an adventure to say the least whenever nature called. The basement could pass for the set of Saw 3. This was the third time I've been an extra so I guess I'm getting to be a bit of a pro at it.
