You know, like when a star gets in a taxi, I might be the guy who gets out of the cab before he gets in.I: well, that doesn’t sound like much fun.A: oh, well, it is. You get to meet the stars, which is really cool, and talk to them and interact with them off the set, when the cameras are not running. I: Ah.A: also, it’s really exciting to be in front of a camera. We have to get all our movements and actions right the first time.

An extra doesn’t speak any likes, but they can still destroy a shot by doing something wrong.I: That sounds very stressful. I am sure you don’t enjoy that.A: Oh, well, no, it’s fine. In fact, you know, what I don’t like is the opposite of that. We spend a lot of time just sitting around and waiting.I: Ah.A: We still get paid to sit around, but you know, it gets boring because we have to be quiet.I: Of course.A: We are not allowed to talk, so I just, you know, read a watch what’s going on.Assistant Director: quiet on the set, please.I: well, do you—A: Shh!I: Sorry!Assistant Director: Rolling. And action!
