Another illustrious event..that resulted in...

So, like I've said before, extra work is not the most satisfying work in the film industry, but it's a necessary thing. I was more than willing this time since I was going to be able to see George Lucas in action. He was finishing up some pick up shots for "Red Tails." It's about the Tuskegee airmen. Even as an extra, I spent more time in the hair trailer than you could imagine. I had to shave fully smooth and they cut my hair.
The funny thing? I ended up spending 12.5 hours on set, and I wasn't used once. But it was all work it to get a face to face, with full eye contact, "Hi," from the man himself: "George Lucas."
