Life

Tuesday had me working at Universal Studios on the set of 'Life'...once again, another show I don't watch. Seriously, I bet I could take a week of my life and try watching every show on tv right now, and still not be able to catch up.

However, I do know that the lead actor of this show was amazing in Band of Brothers, and another fun fact is, he's British. Which had me thinking about a lot of the shows being carried by lead actors from abroad. Dr. House...Brit. This guy from Life...Brit. Eleventh Hour...Brit. Life on Mars...Irish. Without a Trace...Brit.

I think it's hilarious as I have this whole Monty Python skit in my head when I picture them as a tough New Yorker type, then when the director yells cut, they slip back into their native British accent "Excuuuuuse me love, can I get some chamomile tea for me throat?"

I have a lot of time to think about this stuff when I am on set. :)

Anyway...today was a really easy day, I was cast as a reporter / still photographer. We were in a park outside all morning, and the scene was really short (5 hours). The director really wanted to feature us as paparazzi types, and got a ton of close ups of us frantically trying to get the "money shot", which should make for hilarious tv if you watch our facial expressions, as there is sure to be an abundance of over-acting.

Enjoy!
