Callback: SEARS

I got the call Friday afternoon for this rare Sunday callback. That led to some scheduling wizardry at the ol' day job, but they pulled it off with aplomb. The callback was in Santa Monica. This afforded me a great opportunity to take my niece's school project, a version of Flat Stanley, with me to snap a couple of shots at the SM Pier and the Pacific Ocean. The appointment was early, and there were quite a few kids in on it. I didn't see many other actors in my category, but you never know how long their session is going to be. My "wife" and I were treated to some tall tales by our "kids" while we waited on deck. In the room, we were just improvising the scene and miming the objects. As much as kids pretend, it's kind of funny to see them get thrown by this. I believe one commented, "It's kind of hard to pretend there's a counter when there isn't one. You guys should at least have a table or something." Priceless! I felt like I spent most of my time trying to wrangle one of the kids into a position where he could be seen instead of him hiding behind his "sister". All in all, it was a fun, relaxed Sunday morning!
