Welcome to the new and improved Entertainment column! You might have noticed the tab up above was always titled "My Advice," but it seems that over the course of the last month the post has had no advice! So what kind of Advice column is that? Im not very good at giving any advice so its funny that the team of Eyes of NYC titled my section that. I'm laughing about it at this very moment, mostly because the only thing I can give advice on is film and movie sets, celebrities, the entertainment world, and New York; therefore I'm basically just a show in my own! So incase you were confused as to where the "My Advice" tab went, it is still here just with a new name.
Also! This weeks adventure was soo crazy and I want to make sure you read all about it! For that reason I am going to split the story into two parts! This being part 1 and soon following part 2! Just so you don't have to read a Bible length story all at once! Lets get started!
As far as the last week has gone, I've got a full day of adventures for you to hear about. If you have been constantly visiting us here at Eyes of NYC you might have noticed that we are a very close knit little family of bloggers and I've been having a blast making these girls my best friends. On that note! Any of the girls would gladly tell you that I am the "actress" of the group (because lets face it, every group of friends in New York has to have an "actor" friend hehe) and I've been working my a$$ off studying at two schools for my BA in Film and taking classes at the Lee Strasberg Institute of Theatre and Film. After recently completing my course at Lee Strasberg I started trying to get a small job in the business, whether behind the camera or in front of it! Of course I was sure this job would include me being someones coffee b*$#h and I was (and still am) happy to be running to Starbucks if it means I get to be any part of a set. So who knew that when I sent my headshot and resume to the casting director for the hit show Smash I would get a response!
Hold your horses here folks, lets be honest I didn't get a lead speaking role or anything but I did get to star as an extra in the background. Im sure if any of you know what being an extra means you'll click the back button and ignore the rest of this post. But hold your mouse!! For anyone who doesn't know background is the lowest of the "film set food chain," as an extra your job is to blend and make the stars and the set look realistic. Although it is very important to the scene, your totem pole status is... not. So when I say I was excited about working on Smash, in the background I really mean I was glad to work on Smash and blend in. However, like I said before, I am happy to be anywhere on the totem pole, as long as it is on a film set. This experience was great and I thought you might want to step into the "A Day in the Life of a Tired, but Interesting TV Extra".
