worked Posse today ...

... had a hook-up from a pal of mine who works for Cirque De Soliel. Posee, my favorite show on Cinemax, was filming a scene where Snail tries to pitch his rapper, Phnom Pen, for Cirque De Soliel music. Of course, there's standard arty-french stereotypes, etc., but of course, the Froggies usually stereotype us in their movies too.

... hadn't done extra work in an eon, but all the usual suspects were there -- one of my ex-wives (she was my wife on a crap sitcom that's already cancelled), people from the Sad Belguim, etc. Since I knew many of the workers at the Cirque de Soliel office from parties, etc., it was weird to have my backie bretheran sitting at their cubes.

... I was sitting at my friend's bosses desk, and then the boss came in. I had to give up my seat to the real person, but got to stay in the cube and talk to the boss. Then the boss ducked out to lunch, and his phone rang and almost ruined a take, but it rang at the end of a scene, so they kept it. While I was there I was introduced to the director and to "Snail" as a real circus performer, not just a backie. Snail even agreed to be in an alt-circus I have been working on for a while. Snail was a class act, nice and pleasant.

... This show makes no secret it books hot extras, and I was surrounded by flesh. The possee likes pussy, so they had skinny-minny gals everywhere. Not much boy butt for me, sadly.

It was fun to be a real person, and the second-seconds had to treat me as such. I didn't even have to bring wardrobe change. Ha ha!

Some of my Cirque pals were in the shot, but they did not get paid, and had to sign a photo-release. Heard some checked-out extra bitching about a voucher, and was glad I've been away from this world for a bit.
