My
life
as
an
extra
Have
you
____________________
spent
the
morning
in
a
restaurant
with
a
Hollywood
film
star
?
Well
,
I
have
-
lots
of
times
!
In
fact
,
this
morning
,
I've
____________________
had
a
cup
of
coffee
with
Denzel
Washington
.
He
was
here
only
ten
minutes
____________________
!
And
____________________
Thursday
,
I
sat
in
a
café
with
Reese
Witherspoon
.
But
it's
not
what
you
think
.
I'm
not
their
best
friend
or
anything
.
I'm
a
Hollywood
extra
.
Extras
,
or
supporting
artists
,
are
the
people
you
see
in
the
background
in
films
.
I've
worked
as
an
extra
____________________
2010
,
and
I've
____________________
appeared
in
over
thirty
films
.
I
hope
to
be
in
a
lot
more
.
In
all
that
time
,
I've
____________________
spoken
a
single
word
,
or
been
in
a
scene
____________________
more
than
thirty
seconds
!
That's
the
thing
about
being
an
extra
.
We
walk
up
and
down
silently
,
or
pretend
to
read
newspapers
,
or
look
in
shop
windows
.
Oh
,
and
we
don't
get
paid
much
!
