As I mentioned yesterday, last night I was doing featured extra work on the film Ex-Terminators, which stars Jennifer Coolidge, Heather Graham, Joey Lauren Adams, and Amber Heard. I played a woman who is part of their anger management therapy group, but because of my commitments to the play I’m starring in, I was only able to work on the film for just that one day and one scene.
I don’t usually blog or talk about any big projects that I’m a part of that are still in pre-production. (I write about them after they come out). It’s a tricky situation, but I try to avoid any possibility that I am crossing any unspoken or explicit confidentiality agreement. Right now all I have in addition to my talent is my staunch professionalism, so I got to keep that in tact.
But can I just say that Jennifer Coolidge is freaking hilarious? Out of all the people on set, I was most excited to see her. In my opinion, she is one of the strongest character/ comedic actresses currently working in Hollywood. I adore her in all the Christopher Guest movies. Because of her strong ties to improv (she used to be a member of The Groundlings), I knew I would learn a lot from watching her work. She did not disappoint. Every word out of her mouth was comedic gold, and I realized that as soon as my play wraps, I should take another round of improv classes and think about joining a troupe.

Hi Indiana,
I also worked as an extra on Ex-Terminators for two days this last week, and had a great time. I’ve blogged about it a bit here, complete with pics…none that would violate any non-disclosure agreements, I’m pretty sure. ;)
Your blog is a terrific find, keep up the good work!
