Well, the reason I was expecting to be cut was that I was just a background extra. I'm not the star of the show.

Plus, with some of my past experiences in show-biz, I've learn to expect my work to be turned down or cut. It's not a personal thing, usually because the director and editor (who have the final say-so in how a film/TV show's final edit) have a good reason--either artistic, contractual, monetarily, or temporally.

So, (I understand if you hate me or saying this) when Joss killed off Wash, I wasn't angry at him. I was sad, sure! But, I knew it was Joss's style and it wasn't long before I accepted it.

No you don't sound pretentious. I'm sure the experience was interesting, fun and instructive though.

The closest I've ever come to being on TV was a attending a birthday party at a local children's TV show. I guess I was 3 or 4 at the time and since it was live and in the 1960's no record of it exists.

Ugh....nothin' like getting upstaged. *huggles* Would probably have sucked considerably worse if you'd been the only extra to get cut out though.

yeah had that experience too...only it wasn't me it was my make-up work ( put myself through college as a make-up artist) All the scenes I had done extra's Halloween make-up and spent such time and care on ended up being shot in the dead of night and you really couldn't see any of it...

HUGS and enjoy the paycheck

Maybe even next week! From this episode on, I work as an extra for every episode for the rest of the season before the strike. Though, many of my friends also constantly work for the same show, it's very rare to see any of them on TV when the episode finally airs.

No, you were just giving it your all. I didn't pay off this time but maybe on another day...

Sorry you didn't get to be onscreen, maybe next time?

Wow! I sounded kinda pretentious in the "Semi-Famous" blog, especially about acting. Do I always sound like that?
