While I was attending film school in Santa Fe, New Mexico - there was a casting call for movie extras. The film was being shot in Espanola, just a stone's through from Santa Fe. I figured "what the heck" and signed up for the gig.For the $50 I received in pay for my time, I spent 12 hours in all kinds of weather - first it was cold, then it got hot and then we had a dust storm. Next came a raging downpour. We did get two hot meals and a free music concert though, and some us did get to actually meet one of the movie's stars.
Woody Harrelson made himself available to everyone, he was very friendly and spoke to a lot of people, including myself. Now Kiefer Sutherland and Travis Tritt were a whole nuther' enchilada though. They both pretty much kept to themselves and didn't have anything to do with us mortal folks.
Everyone always asks me "Can we actually see you in the movie?" - I always tell them that if they rent the DVD, and then slow scan through all of the rodeo scenes they might, just might - if they were lucky and were looking in the right spot, catch a very slight glimpse of yours truly.
