"The Good Guys"

Wow, what a day!!! It was an early call time 6:30 am. That was a little rough since I just had an early 3 am call time for "Tips" the night before. When I got there I found out that I not only were playing my usual CSI, I was also going to be a Bank Customer. It was really cool as we were preparing to go to set the 2nd AD did a read threw of what the scene was...funny stuff. Let's just say they are sitting in front of a bank when they notice something. I got a lot of walking in which is good because it was a very long day and I wouldn't be able to work out. I got to see Bradley Whitford (Dan) and Colin Hanks (Jack) do a little rough housing in their awesome Trans Am, was walking right next to the car. Then we changed sides of the street which was really fun in downtown Dallas and begun lots and lots of walking. It was cool cause I actually got to meet some really cool people, 3 of them were from FOX affiliated things. One Natalie she works for TV Guide and she was really cool, she was first a pedistrain and then got to dress up as a cop. She was super excited, it was cool a couple people thought we were sisters cause we kinda looked a like. Then I met Chris who is the host of FOX ALL ACCESS, a radio show and also on the web (check it out www.foxallaccess.com) he was really cool he also got to dress up as a cop. And Bill was from Seattle and he was with FOX affiliated he was very cool, also be a cop. It was cool they ended up getting to be right smack in the middle of all the action. The once I was in my CSI outfit (man I felt better when I was in my outfit) I got to see some stuff go down at the bank. With my new friends right in the middle of it. I got to chat with Diana (Lt. Ruiz) a little bit, she is so nice she gave me a hug and asked about my birthday. She had tweeted a "Happy Birthday" to me on my birthday. She is such an awesome lady and I learn more and more from her with the time I get to spend around her. Then we had lunch which was like always incredible. And they set up and shot another scene where they didn't need any extras, so it was time to wait. And let me tell you the sleepiness was starting to set in but before I could really give in the PA called me and said to get ready!! So I was wide awake again. I was excited cause it was time to investigate. Can't say much but we were in a small apartment with 2 CSI, 2 cops, 2 detectives, 2 paramadics, Jack, and a coroner(huh). I will let you all stew on that, hehe. It was very cool this time I actually got to lift some finger prints and some dusting with the finger print powder. It was an 13 hour day but it was a blast. This blog is actually being done the following day because when I got home I was exhausted and could function enough to get this all out. I found out some really cool news about a project that I am interested in, also got some information about being an extra in some feature films being shoot here in Texas, which I will be submitting myself to. Hope everyone enjoys this and looking forward to the preview of "The Good Guys" on the 19th of this month. I can't believe it is coming up so quickly. So for now we will see what tomorrow brings.
