[O.T.I.S.]

Just as an extra multiple times playing a cop, military, or secret service agent, etc.

I had a speaking part once but they edited the shyt out

It was whatever...

I went there because my roommate wanted me to pick her up one day (she was a regular on it) and she just said why not try it out.

I went in there and signed up and they asked me if I wanted to do military type shyt (I was military anyway). I said cool and was on the show like 3 seperate times

Couldve done more but I couldn't get off from duty all the time. Sometimes a shoot would last days but it was just some play money to me and just to say I did some shyt like that.

I met and interacted with a lot of actors though. Some were cool. I didn't realize how short some of them was. I was taller than a few of the main guys. Had a few scenes with the black homie as well

Had a couple other boys on it as well. They usually did military shyt but they werent called back as much as I was. People actually suggested I try acting too. I have this distinct look I guess

To keep it 100, people of African descent would have bit the bullet and been on code to get paid less than the anglo-saxons.

It's actually less for Asians, they have a much harder time breaking into Hollywood

I hope they have projects line up, I'm not seeing much on their IMDb pages

How much were u making per day?

CBS known for playing hardball when their actors ask for raises.

Ziva from NCIS asked for a raise, they got rid of her AND killed off her character.

CSI is littered with actors who asked for raises n got axed

King Of Queens ended earlier than it was supposed to, because the cast all wanted a raise.

CBS is CUT THROAT.

Yes viacoms hoe CBS is cut throat. That is why BET and MTV are ran the way they are.

Like 70-100 to sit around and do nothing most of the day.

Sometimes you actually got to "act" when your scene is up (had to whip a Tahoe up and down the street like 20 damn times ) but usually you're just waiting around for like 10 hours bullshyttin

But if you do some fugazi shyt the director gonna get in your ass, then the assistants ass, then his assistants ass, then you will probably be asked to leave/escorted off and never come back

That shyt only happened to dumbass white boys tho.

Wasn't much but I enjoyed the experience

Asian women tend to hold it together until they hit like late 50s-60 and then its like somebody beat them in the face with a sledgehammer.

I know an Asian dude who boycotted Spider-Man Homecoming because Mary Jane was black, not because he's racist, but he believes firmly in preserving the accuracy of the comic medium, even if comics were WAY TOO WHITE TO BEGIN WITH.
