I had the opportunity to be cast as an extra in ABC's upcoming pilot for OCTOBER ROAD. It is about a screenwriter (Bryan Greenberg from "Prime" and "One Tree Hill") who tries to reconnect with his past by moving back to his hometown. He writes a book called "Turtle on a Snare Drum" and many of the townspeople are written about in the book, which makes most of them angry. Geoff Stults (Ben from "7th Heaven"), Laura Prepon (the redhead Donna from "That 70's Show", and Lee Norris (Marvin from "One Tree Hill", Minkus from "Boy Meets World") were on the set. This show also includes Tom Berenger, Greg Corbett, Brad William Henke, Evan Jones, Jonathan Murphy, among others.
We were filmming in historical Madison, GA on Thursday, March 30th, and I was a College Student in the lecture hall. There were people from all over GA, FL, and SC there playing the parts of college students or townspeople. A girl sitting next to me got Geoff Stult's autograph, even though she took my pen to get it! We were there for a late shoot, but nonetheless, it was fun for the few moments we actually were called to action!
I also got to play a college student during an overnight shoot on Friday, March 31st . We were where at Hi-Fi Buys Amphitheater in Atlanta (also known as the Fairgrounds). They re-created the exterior of the Firehouse Bar to become "Sully's Tavern". Our scene takes place right after the bar fight between Brian and Geoff, and everyone is being questioned by the police and campus security. I was able to drag my husband James along, and guess what? He got drafted to be one of the Police officers! You should have seen what a picture it was to see him in a cop uniform along with his plastic gun! He was positioned towards the foreground of the scene right as the camera begins to pan across, and I am almost directly behind his cop car, being questioned by a security guard about the bar fight. We also got a chance to walk back and forth between the action, so keep a close eye for me as one of the background!
We were literally there till the sun came up! But it was a blast and we got to meet a ton of great people! I will keep you all posted when I find out when it will air.
