Do they let you know when it airs? We could have a competition in trying to spot Stui!

August 14.

It's a cafe scene, I don't know any of the actors but there's 3 of them in the foreground and I'm behind them on a booth style seat miming 50 first dates (we did about 8 takes) with a 30 ish blonde.

The only instructions we got were don't speak, mime, and don't look at the camera. So we just made shit up, the producer liked what we did on the first rehearsal so we just did it again several times.

Good stuff, Stui. How did you score the role of an extra?

Registered with a talent agency. They find and offer me work and take their cut off the top. All the 6 extras in my crew today were from the same agency, so they seem to have an in with Neighbours.

Good stuff, Stui? How long did the whole thing take? Will the pay be enough to cover your travel costs? (Or do they give you travel allowance and snack allowance too?)

I'm tipping he was slightly closer to the front than you. :P :wink:

I heard him on the radio, he was trying to escape some woman who was chasing him through customs wanting photos. That wasn't you by any chance?
