मैच news 2009
More (true) stories from the wild world of commercial production.
Scene 1 - Overheard on set
ACTOR: I was at Sly Stallone's house last night.
ACTOR 2: Yeah, you were a caterer at Sly Stallone's house last night.
ACTOR: At least I was at his house.
ACTOR 2: SERVING HIM DINNER!
Scene 2 - Overheard in Make-Up
MAKE-UP: A girlfriend of mine made a lot of money selling her panties on craigslist.
ACTOR: What do you mean?
MAKE-UP: I mean every day for a month, she would take her panties off at the end of the day, and put them in an envelope.
ACTOR: No.
MAKE-UP: And mail them.
ACTOR: No way! That's disgusting! (pause) How much money can you make doing something like that?
MAKE-UP: A lot.
Scene 3 - On set
1ST AD: Can you come dust off this guy's feet?
MAKE-UP: I don't dust feet!
1ST AD: You need to dust off his feet.
MAKE-UP: Well I'm not going to.
1ST AD: Well it's your job.
Scene 4 - In Holding
PA: So this is a Vick's commercial.
ACTOR: Yeah. Nyquil.
PA: And in the commercial, you... what do you do?
ACTOR: I sleep.
PA: (who has been up since 4:00 in the morning) That sounds like a good job.
ACTOR: It is.
PA: What was the audition like?
ACTOR: It was like, 'OK, lie there, and sleep. OK, now twitch your finger. Not so much. Good. Now drool.'
PA: Wow.
ACTOR: Yeah, I nailed it. (pulling on his sleep-mask) Hoping this thing goes national.
