More on Mobsters and Mormons
Acting, Film June 13th, 2005I landed my small role in Mobsters and Mormons because I got to know the director - John Moyer - and kept in occasional email correspondence with him, which led to the auditon and the part. I got to know the director in an acting class that he and Michelle Wright ran. I also took a screenwriting workshop from John.
I have five lines if they use the take that I think they will. Originally I had three lines and improvised two more stupid lines in response to the lead actor ad-libbing. He may have add-libbed because my character was a fool for his character to prod and malign. After this add-libbed take the cast and crew laughed: that’s why I think they’ll use the take. That my character possesed me during my closeup, and the lead actor also drew more of it out of me, and that it all illicited laughter - this was very, very gratifying.
