On my way back from my final audition for the day, I caught a glimpse of this:
On a trailer for TV Mobile. ACk!! OMG!!! They are gonna screen this?!! Then my disguise how?!! If they screen this and “4444” at the same time, I think I have to take cabs liow. I is very poor. T_T
Today’s my first day on the set, and filming had already been well underway. I found out that our first scene in the movie is also gonna be the opening scene of the movie.
You know what that means folks. You don’t need to wait forever to catch me in the movie! *beam* Just, errm, don’t be late. 😛
In between takes and waiting for them to set up the shot, Fish and I chatted. Yes, Fish was the one (nahbeh) who prised the role away from me, and I realised that this wasn’t the only role he had prised from me (nabeh!); there were seriously a couple of others more(nahbeh! nahbeh!! nabeh!!!)!! I mean like, What The Fish?! 😛 Note to self : Next time go audition see Fish around, just seng ki lai (don’t bother).
That aside, I was surprised to find that his path and mine was quite similar and he’s also a “working” actor. What’s more astonishing is that he’s married and has a four year old daughter! And in his own words, he added, “Yeah, I get by. Got enough money to buy diapers and milk powder”.
It was quite a revelation, because I’d never thought I’d meet another actor who’s in similar circumstances as me that is married. I mean, no offence to my female readers out there, but its really, really very difficult for us to find someone who understands our passion and supports our dream. I told Fish this and he agreed. He said he feels very blessed to be married to her; machiam like striking lottery. Heh. Maybe there’s hope for me after all. *grin*
Now that I know Fish better, I don’t feel so bad about losing the role to him. Cuz like me, he also lamented over being typecast and how he tried to get out of it by being a policeman in True Files. Lol. That is like so deja vu man. And when I find out that he is also without representation, I felt even happier.
Because if anything, I’d rather lose to acting cred than get sidelined just because some agency strongarmed the production company. Hmmrph.
A shoot in the morning. Followed by two auditions in the afternoon. Then rest and relax for the rest of the evening. That’s how I imagine a good day (a very good day would be having hawt sex in the evening of course ;P) in an actor’s life should be.
Its very rare that I have such days. In fact, I think today’s my first. 😀
Hopefully, there will be more.
