Thank you for sharing your x-tra x-perience, ironically it is exactly or x-actly what I needed to read to get me back on track....have a great weekend!!!
Oh, c'mon "Anya," how do you not tell this story every day? I mean, I must tell my "I-was-an-extra-in-a-David-Bowie-video-when-he-did-Tin-Machine" story three or four times a day (more pre-pandemic when I could accost people on public transit).
Now tell us why you didn't appear in the Scott Pilgrim movie. (My favourite anecdote of the making of the movie is that Michael Comeau who is a) a real person and comics artist and b) a character in the comic, auditioned to play himself in the film - and was NOT cast).
So you really are as cool as your I love NY author photo suggests, Chip.
Shame you aren’t in the X clip. That’s a great memory. Sometimes though, you have to listen to your gut and bail. Sorry Anya. As a Jew, I’m a-okay with your portrayal, so no Jewish guilt from me.
At the start of last year I was an extra for a shoot over in Glasgow. I thought "Ooh, a comic book film, this will be fun, and it's paying really well!" Turns out the reason it was paying so well is because it was a week of night shoots (6pm to 6am) in the pissing rain in the middle of Glasgow in January. Anyway, to add insult to injury, as well as getting a terrible fucking cold from standing about in freezing rain for a week and not seeing the sun at all, the film in question? Yeah, it was Batwoman, so it didn't even get a sodding release!
Wait, but are you visible onscreen?

At least you weren't paid in "exposure" and cold sandwiches alone -- right?!
Ha, my friend Greg was also an extra in that same scene!
Great story, Chip. One day Hollywood will charge $12 for an AI recreation of it with you as Kid Magneto.
