Last night my mom came into Austin for a business meeting, so Jules and I drove down to take her to dinner. We had a great night and great meal and had some much needed time to visit. We decided to stop by her Hotel room for a cup of coffee before the drive home. Around 9:30, while we were visiting, my cell phone rang, on the other end of the line was a casting director that I had never met. She was in need of a last minute addition to the following days call and cast me as a Funeral Patron in the new Claire Danes movie "Temple Grandin". It was a very small, intimate scene, with only about 20 extras and three principals on set. Let me just say that the whole cast and crew were Awesome, from the director to the drivers, everyone was friendly, and very helpful. Also on set with us today were Julia Ormand and Catherine O'Hara, two wonderful ladies. One thing that I will say about Clarie and Catherine both, they are as down to earth as any "stars" I have ever been around, during our lunch break, both grabbed a plate and sat right down in the middle of all 125 of the cast crew and extras to eat. That is not to say that Julia is not also very down to earth and friendly, I just didn't see her there during lunch, however I was very impressed with them all. The day started for me at 5:00 am to drive to Austin to make call on time, we finally wrapped the scene at just past 5:45 pm, It was a very long day but, well worth it.
Since I was on set all day, I had no time at all to work on my screenplay, which is coming along, but slowly. I am looking forward to getting a little further along on it, and everyday I write I "see" the scenes unfolding in my head, I just hope they are as interesting to everyone else as they are to me... till next time.
