What was the highlight of your acting career?

In 3rd grade I played one of the giants in my elementary school's presentation of The Brave Little Tailor.

    I was in a musical in grade 6..it was called Rock On. I was  just a background dancer and didn’t have a acting role in the play. ( only the grade 7 & 8’s got the real rolls -_- but I was on stage the whole time AND we got to borrow cheerleader out fits from the high school that was next to our school ..so that was a HUGH deal.

  • Haha, do you remember what the music was?  Was it just generic sounding original songs or was it popular rock songs all Glee'd up?

  • Haha, that's great.  I can picture the cheesy synchronized choreography I'm sure you were forced to do.  "Look CUTE everyone!!"

    Hello bob:

    I'm so glad you asked..  Back in the 80's, as an extra, I was in Harry & The Henderson's, Dangerous Affection, and Black Widow..  Being an extra was fun..  They paid me $100/day and all the great food I could eat.

    The autograph line starts over there..


    Here's an acting story..  We were filming Dangerous Affection at the Seattle Police Headquarters, and I was playing a cop (go figure).  Well, I had to wizz so I went inside..  Along came a REAL cop with a REAL bad guy in tow..  The bad guy was struggling with the cop, and the cop asked me to jump in..

    So, I DID..  Boy, was THAT fun.. $100, great lunch, and I got to sock a bad guy.

  • That's so awesome. I think it'd be great to be an extra, lol.  Pretty impressive having Harry & the Hendersons on your resume.

    I was a princess in a kindergarten play.  I have no idea if it was a speaking part.  In 9th grade, I was an alto in the chorus when they did Uncle Tom's Cabin. This post was edited by SpunkySenior at March 6, 2020 5:33 PM MST

  • It's so hard to choose, so many roles, and that was way before Wakko even existed.  I guess Pubert E was my masterpiece.  I created him in 2005.  He had a long run on Yahoo answers, back when it was still fun, before the purple monster.  Hell, a kid there taught me how to torrent. xD

    Those two sentences alone are better than most poems I read.

    I don't know.
    But I certainly liked how you wrote those sentences, though I'm maybe not wanting you to have felt those ways.

    The great troupe I worked with. We laughed and laughed and laughed, had the greatest time.  
    I miss that time in my life a lot.

    I was in 3rd or 4th grade; I'm not sure but we were young.  We were doing a play that had two songs in it.  During one of the songs we had brooms over our shoulders, and I now cannot recall why, but during the song there was a loud noise in the back of the stage and most of us instinctively turned around knocking each other with the brooms. Just like slapstick.  We all got tickled and the whole thing fell apart.  A few us wee weed on the stage....I was one of them.

    Twas in India on the beach in Goa.
    just happened to walk onto a movie that was being filmed
    They wanted me to dance
    I danced then i went into the Room where 
    the Gurus were sitting in meditation
    I sat down and began to meditate
    They told me to go dance again
    because they already had Gurus meditating...
    ...Never did know the name of the movie...
