I got hired for a week on the new bourne movie here. My job is watching high speed car crashes as a actor on the strip. It's going pay enough to GET THE VAN DONE!

So what is one of your lines, or are you sworn to secrecy!

Just a extra. Scenery that eats is what the showbiz people call us.

Well we expect to see that youtube clip after the movie comes out.

Yeah---indeed! Maybe add a mini-blog here about the day-to-day happenings too? That would have to be interesting I'm sure!

The job monday night was watching a swat van get rear ended by a cruiser all night long. We trashed 6 cars doing and redoing the scene. We had 200 cars and drivers and 150 "pedestrians" hired for all night. They shut down 3 blocks of the busiest part of the strip and ran off anyone that wasn't on the crew. My group of actors were in front of the bellagio fountains which were turned on for evey shot and it was COLD.
Last night almost paid for my van refridgerator, i'm getting union scale.

Wow, I didn't know being an "extra" paid that well!
