There comes a point in an actors "career", where they have to decide whether or not they want to stay non-union or go for union. I am at that point.
Non-union actors only get minimum wage $7.50 an hour/$60 a day
Union actors get $120/day
To become union with Sag, you have to pay the fee, which I now hear is up around $2400. Kind of hard for actors who have no jobs, because you never know when you'll be called for an acting job.
Then there's also a rumor that SAG is going to go on strike sometime this year. So, why spend $2400, and then not be able to work when union is on strike. Or, should I just sign up and take all the jobs I can, and then take a part-time during the downtime. Ugh!! So confusing.
I have to think it over. As of right now, I haven't had any jobs in the past two weeks, which makes me very anxious. I hope it picks up. I know shows are just coming back from hiatus, but I'm impatient. My mom tells me that all the time. So I just have to sit back and wait, and pray.

Will Smith Movie, was exciting.
I was booked as a spectator in a new Will Smith Action-Hero movie coming out July 2008.
It was called Tonight He Comes, but when it comes out it will probably be called Hancock. Will plays a superhero who can't do anything right. He goes to save one person, but by doing so hurts others.
So basically he hires a PR guy to help the public like him. But falls in love with the PR guys wife/girlfriend Charlize Theron.
I was there during a scene, where in downtown LA (Where we shot it), Will save's a police woman, then runs into a bank to save the hostages. I was standing on the corner with other bystanders/onlookers, for about 5 hours, filming the same scene over and over again.
But it was exciting, it was my first time on a movie set, and I enjoyed it. The craft services table was good too. I met a few other actors and after lunch, we played UNO, while waiting to be called back.
Will Smith smiled and waved at the crowd, and is much skinnier in person. He might have slimmed down and just leaned up for the role. He was in a black leather-type suit with green stripe and an eagle on the back of his outfit.
It was a hot day, but the crew was very nice and kept giving us water and sunscreen. I can't wait to see this movie, since I love Will's movies.

Audience Shows done...
I have done the judge circuit audience shows. I've recently been in the audience of Judge Judy, Judge Joe Brown, and Divorce Court.
No idea as of when these shows will air, as of yet. But probably sometime late September early October. Will keep you updated.

My Name Is Earl & Journeyman Experiences
My Name Is Earl, was fun. I was a family/friend, visiting my husband in prison. Since Earl was sent to prison in last season's finale.
Should be the first or second episode of the season probably starting to air, sometime early September. I don't have a date yet. The camera was behind Earl's head, and facing toward "Katarina" (I think that's her character's name). Anyways, I was at the table directly behind there's so, Aunt Char, you should see me. I was wearing a dark black top and dark blue jeans, talking to my "husband" (bald head).
Journeyman was fun but exhausting. All I did was stand in the same place all day long. So that could be bad or good. It could mean I'm a focal point, or they're going to cut me out. Oh well. That should air Monday Oct 1, or Oct 8th. It's an airport scene, and I'm near a pillar to the back right of the camera.

So excited for football season...And my NFL Promo Spot
A few weeks ago, I got an opportunity for an NFL Promo Spot. Not knowing what it was, I went and found out it was the opening song performed before all the regular season games.
So it won't start airing until September 9th, on NBC and only on the Sunday night games that start at 5 pacific time, I believe.
Faith Hill sings this years NFL themed song, and let me tell you she is absolutely stunning, and the sweetest woman. She was very nice to us "extras" who were her adoring fans during her mini-concert.
It was a wonderful experience, I will never forget. I can't wait for every Sunday.
GO PANTHERS!!!
