Have You Ever Wanted to Be an Actor in a Movie?

Have you ever fantasized about being in a movie? I think everyone has at one time or another. I never actually thought about trying out for one. I live in a relatively small town in Indiana. It isn't like I live in California, Chicago, or New York City, so the chances of it were really insignificant. I thought about trying out for a play but never really gave it a lot of attention.

My son is in prison that is another whole different story. One thing that he does get to do, (yes I know that is another article, about the privileges that prisoners shouldn't have.) he gets to watch a lot of movies. He loves the Independent Films. I never really thought that much about them. His favorite actors are in Independent Films. When I read in the paper that there was going to be the third Independent Film shot here in the area I got online to see what it was about. I knew he would be thrilled and was going to send him the information in prison. Lonesome Jim was filmed here along with a children's' flick.

I knew of the producer of the movie. I graduated from high school with his brother and peripherally knew the rest of the family. When I went to the web-site I saw that they were having auditions and was casually scrolling down through the roles. Most movies have leading ladies, and handsome actors and actresses. Of course there was some of that. The main character had already been cast. G. Michael Gray from Vancouver Canada was the lead character. I will write more about him in the next segment. They were looking for specifics with photos of examples of each role they were looking for.
