"The Good Guys"

Today filming for "The Good Guys". First it was not to bad of a call time and when I got there they told me that we were doing some re-shoot of an episode. Which I have never really heard of before. So I was like cool let's go. Got changed and said "hi" to Diana when she was getting hair and make-up done (she is so awesome and nice). Then it was off to set and when we arrived I knew exactly what we were re-shooting. And I waited to see if I would be called and I was the first one called and was put up in loft (crime scene) to go investigate. I was thrilled to find out that I was the only CSI and there was only one other extra up there and he was a cop. We were up there awhile and it was HOT!! It was very cool though because Colin, Bradley, and Diana we talking to me and Dwayne (cop). Bradley was so funny (as always) but Colin actually got Bradley to bust up laughing right as he was taking a drink. Talk about funny he almost spit it out everywhere. We spent about 2-3 hours up in the loft and I enjoyed every minute. Then the next scene I had to sit out cause it was right before Colin and Bradley entered the loft so I got to go cool in the shade and drank lots of water. After lunch we had one more scene and it was very cool. Of course I got to climb stairs, lol. It was good though cause I had a big lunch and I wanted to work it off. One of the PA said go up the stairs and I was like you always tell me to go on the stairs and he said you are good at climbing, lol. But it ended up being really cool because as I was coming down Diana was coming up and there is a little landing on the stairs and I got to sorta stop and we would say a little something before I would walk off. And to top it off they were filming her as she walked up the stairs. I can't wait to see if it gets put in the episode (cause you never know till it airs, EDITING!!). As far as projects go I recieved an email about a Patrick Dempsey project called "Flypaper" that are filling some roles and I was able to submit email which is very cool. Then I got an address for another address for the film "The Lincoln Lawyer". So I will be sending my information soon. Also I was told I have to come back for tomorrow on "The Good Guys" so I had to called the director of "Broken Seconds" and we moved the schedule of tomorrows lake scene. But I still have my road scene on Sat. and next will be Sat. and Sun. I am going to have to call and find out what I will be working next week with "The Good Guys". Also I have been doing this a while and I was wondering if you all have questions you want to ask I would be very happy to ask. I am also going to try and start adding tips for beginners of acting more. Tip for today when you do get a chance to be on a set take everything in not only what actors are doing but the crew cause it actually make you a better actor to learn about all aspects of the industry. So on that note we will see what tomorrow brings.

  1. Jennifer, Are U going to be a recurring character on The Good Guys??? Sounds like the show is going to be good...been seeing lots of chatter about it on the web. Your bio is a testament to those of us who have dreams and aspirations..."NEVER, ever give up!" BTW..Lots of us West Wing and Studio 60 addicts are really looking forward to seeing Bradley Whitford back on TV. AND I will also be watching for you.
