Actor Growth

Today I was working on a set that happened to be shooting exterior scenes. It was just simple background work so nothing too big. Now the places we were shooting happened to be around businesses. Therefore, it was a highly visible production.

One lady came out to see what was going on. I was standing in my spot in preparation for the take. In between the lady kept asking me if I was like a movie star and she seemed so excited about the notion that she was potentially standing next to a famous person. Of course, I just said I was not a star.

However, for some odd reason she just stuck at it. She then asked for my name and I mentioned it. Again, she asks if I am famous and I mention that I am not and even stated how just the fact that she has never heard of me should be a good indicator. Now the thing is she thought I was like being modest or something as she then says maybe I just don’t like to think that I am famous. She then starts to smile and all while constantly saying my name and telling the other business owners my name.

What an interesting day this was. The only thing I could think of that created this is because I was wearing high end clothing items which made me look more fashionable and wealthy. I guess this shows you the power on how much of an impact that you as a performer can have on people’s lives.
