I was an extra in this film


The casting company that I was signed up with sent a bunch of us out for a day to film the school scenes. They were filmed at a junior high school in Venice, Ca. I can be seen for few seconds in the scene where Jim Carrey comes to school and is grilled by his friends about the woman he was with the night before. He says he doesn't remember anything and gets up to leave. His girlfriend, sitting at the table behind him gets up to confront him. If you look over her left shoulder, you'll see me on the other side of her steal her apple off of her lunch tray while watching her to see if she catches me. They did about 10 takes of that scene. I earned $50.00, (which was great because I was starving), and got to meet Jim Carrey before he was anybody. He was a pretty cool guy. Easy to approach.

I'm watching it right now and remembered your post. I paused to come read it and show my husband. So cool, and we totally saw you :)

I've watched the movie before and I loved it! I'm watching it right now and happened upon your post. I'm going to look for you. Did you continue acting?
