Yesterday I worked on the pilot Truth in Advertising starring Eric McCormack (pictured). In one shot he was walking thru an airport terminal and myself and another extra were placed a few steps behind him and to his right. Obviously the LAX cannot just shut down entirely, so there were international travelers of all sorts standing by in awe of the production. I was entertained when in between takes people would recognize Eric and point at him as though he were a wax figure and talk about him only a few yards away from him, then because myself and the other extra were so close to him, they assumed we were important too. One little couple had to get real close to check us out, they literally stood in front of us about 5 feet away and squinted their eyes as they tried desperately to figure out who we were. Intially I found pity on these people and smiled at them and tried to nod in a way as to show them we are not people they would recognize. But, then I spotted another couple doing the same thing off to our right pointing at us, so I decided to humor myself and pose as the Eric McCormack wax figure and enjoy my two second fans :)
