I wish to appear in a major motion picture. And I have since I can remember. I'm continually fascinated by movies (or I should say talkies) and it's been a lifelong goal to be immortally portrayed in a large Hollywood production.
Oh, I can't act. I've never tried -- but that's not the point. I want to be in a movie. I don't want to be the movie.
I'm estimating that three seconds is the optimal amount of time in which to grace the screen. Anything less than three seconds and no one will recognize me. Anything more than three seconds and I'll have to actually act. Three seconds is the perfect amount of time to be a "passerby" -- or someone sweeping up the sidewalk. Perhaps delivering a pizza behind a foreground of some dramatic scene.
I have to confess that I haven't done much to achieve my goal. Although I did audition for the film Moonlight Mile three years ago, which was about to film in Marblehead, Massachusetts, where I happened to live at the time. The audition went extremely well (or so I thought). After waiting in a long line, a Polaroid was taken that turned out to be the worst photo ever taken of me. So bad, in fact, that the casting person took a look at it and said Oooooh. I'm putting this one on top. This got me thinking I actually had a chance for at least a three-second role in this film. I never did get a call.
So now, I continue to dream. Perhaps there'll be more auditions, more horrible Polaroids. And maybe one day, I can have my three seconds of fame. I'm curious, have you ever appeared on film?
