Film School Rejects: Go Behind the Scenes with ‘Strictly Background’

    This looks really interesting. And no it's not just you Mr. Miller who loves these types of real people documentaries. I love them too, and it reminds me of Ricky Gervais' HBO show "Extras" which was hilarious.

    I would definitely watch this. I get kind of sad watching things like this though. They actually think they will "make it." It's also interesting that they think they have become friends with these actors.

    Although, when I was younger, I worked at an airport. Tom Cruise flew in that day, and one of our fuel techs took care of his plane. I guess he was an extra on Top Gun down in San Diego. Now, this is about 12 years past Top Gun's filming. But, Tom Cruise remembered this guy. He made a b-line right for him and said "Hey, Mark right? You worked on the Top Gun set down in (whatever base or place)." I was shocked that he remembered the guy and his name. Of course, I would never consider them "friends." Interesting none-the-less. Must be all that Scientology memory power. :P

    Extras are just as important to the film as the other actors. Come on people, don't think actors are everything. They really aren't. If I had the means, I'd be an extra too.
