Day 6 -- Friday, April 27
Did I feel unimportant before? Yes.
Did they crank it up a notch today? Yes.
One line in one scene that we will not rehearse until 5pm nor shoot until 9:30pm. So what time do I have to be there? Well, apparently they feel like I still need to work on my relaxing: 1pm. I guess the good news is that I don't have to get up early to go there and do nothing. That's the bright side. Everything else is the not-so-bright side.
I actually napped through most of the day. The scene went well when we got to it. The entire taping was a big success. The audience loved it. And I will say that I enjoyed saying my one line in front of a bunch of people. There's something magical about the audience being there anticipating your every word, no matter how few there are.
So at the end of all this, a room full of people I don't know
accomplished what no one else could all week. In their eyes, I was important.
