Role? I think my official title was 'passerbyer'. It wasn't really anything I would call a role :) The Fringe is filmed in Vancouver. In fact a lot of things are filmed here so there is a huge culture of actors and screenwriters in the city. There is also a ton of background work to be done, with no skill required. I had some time and needed money so I thought I would give it a shot. I was just in one of the latest episodes where the dude with a scar around his eye is walking around with a map. There is a scene where he gets plugged into a matrix style chair and has a flashback. I was in his flashback. But like flashbacks, almost everything is filmed ghosted and blurry so you can't really make anyone out in the background. I can only point to a blurry blob of people and say 'I'm in there.' Oh well. It was an interesting experience. I think I was the only one there NOT trying to be an actor. I did see Joshua Jackson however. Even hung out with him a bit in craft services. I use the word 'hung out' loosely because we didn't share words, we were just in the same room for an extended length of time. They are pretty specific about you not bothering the cast. Craft services is great though. They give you free sandwiches and stuff there. Lance Reddick is on the Fringe too. Would have loved to see him cause I'm a big fan of the Wire, but he wasn't there. Did I mention free sandwiches?
