Callback report--

Annoying. It turns out the reason I got called back for this part was mostly because I had added the "harpoon" line. They weren't really looking for actors today. They were looking for writers. They basically threw out the first script and threw out any other script that was lying around and told the actors (that would include me, of course) to just make up lines and respond to the fat guy in the water with whatever we wanted to. "Just riff a little" was the instruction. "Just write our commercial for us" was the intention. And so I did my best throwing out references to Super-Sizing and Freeing Willy but I'm not at my best searching for jokes.

So were they looking for the best actor or just whoever came up with the funniest lines? Hard to tell because in this situation it's impossible to seperate the two. And did I hear someone say "illegal"? Or was that "lawsuit"?
