Audience work

Ugh, so I got a call from Extras saying I would be booked on Family Court...which I have never heard of, so I assumed it was some cable courtroom drama. Ohhhhhh no. I arrived on set to find, it was one of those reality/day time court room Judge Judy type shows. YUCK! I was cast as "audience", and while it was really easy work...I will never do it again. Thing is, I can't stand watching these shows even once when they're on tv, but it was an 11 hour day while they filmed 8 or 9 of them in a row. Oh the humanity! I will give you a couple cases so you can see what I am talking about. One case involved a mother suing her son because he doesnt spend enough time with her, and she wanted to have "family jam night" and play more music with him, but he is in high school and wants to play sports. Case #2, an OCD brother, sued his roomate/sister who loves to collect things (aka - a packrat) Case #3, a 21 year old son, wasn't ready to move out of his Mother's condo, because he loved the amenities, and wants to save up $$ for a place just as nice first, so she was suing to get him out of the house.

Anyway, you see where I am going!!?? Ugh, I felt so gross when it was all said and done and I am calling the agency and telling them I am no longer doing any audience work.
