Re: [aspires-relationship] Just a bit of amusing trivia.

Well, Folks, Sorry, but nothing on the topics being

discussed here.

In my work as an Actor, and most of the time as an Extra in TV/Films,

I’ve had some funny jobs in my time. Never forget the

time that my face was done up red/purple and was superimposed on an enlarged

image of the upright body of a Cockroach, busily engaged in burgling a

house. All with antenna and a snarling ugly face, (or at least,

more so than usual). That one was in an advertisement for Home

insurance.

Well a week ago I had another gem. I had missed out

on an Audition I went for to play a homeless man in the opening sequence of a

Crime Series, and who gets murdered. Sad about that, it was a

great little part. But anyway, the chap who actually beat me

for the role apparently wasn’t available for a followup in the same

episode. So I got called in to be the corpse on a table in

the Morgue. Since the Detective had to bring a couple of grieving

relatives in to identify the body, they just asked to see the right hand.

This was because a scar on the back of the hand was all they needed to

recognize Dad. Nothing else of me, except my form

covered by the sheet was to be seen.

Well, they had to have my right hand ‘made up’ for

the scene, even though it would be seen for probably about 7

seconds. So for some 50 minutes I lounged back in a chair in the

make-up caravan, while a nice young lady put all sorts of colours on my

hand. We enjoyed a very pleasant conversation at the same

time. And when it was finished, my finger tips were blackened, and

the rest down into the hand blended into the most alarming red, green,

vermillion and whatever to represent the effects of Frostbite and whatever.

All went well. I held my breath for half

a minute at the beginning of the scene while I was on camera. Then I

could relax. Oh, they made sure that I was comfortable on the

slab. I lay on an electric blanket, so it was quite

good. The whole Call was for four hours, and I got a

little cheque in the mail yesterday for a whole $65 odd Australian.

So there you are. You too could be a professional

Actor! You’ll never know just what your next job will be.

Cheers, Ron.

Matt/Elaine,

Well, you’d only be able to see the show if you live in

Australia.    It is City Homicide; and I don’t know just what title for the

episode.

But it gives the story of this homeless man, who gets murdered

in the opening sequence.  

For all I know it might be a few months before the episode is

aired.  But my guess is that we should look out for it between now and

November.

Cheers, Ron.

Hi Ron,

On my many nights alone whilst my AS partner is out or recovering in

his study I have become dependant on watching these shows alone.

Have recently got into City Homicide so I'll be keeping my eye out

for your hand!!
