My
Movie Extra Work (Earl
as a background performer)
Movies
and TV Episodes Where Earl Can Be Seen
Many friends have asked which shows they might find me in, in my capacity as a background movie extra. So, I did some research and put together this page. It highlights my illustrious career in movies. Unfortunately, my image has mostly ended up on the cutting room floor (figuratively). But hey, I got paid for long days and nights of sitting and reading, playing guitar, doing Tai Chi, the occasional nap, etc. Often the pay was at the union rate (for special skillls like unicycling, stilt-walking, balloon twisting & juggling), and the food was always amazing and unlimited.

Mr Bubbles & Kelley
Missal
For this shot I rode my unicycle up behind Kelley, again & again, re-take after re-take. It's so intense when all eyes
are on you and the director is calling you by name on the PA. (crew & actors & extras totalled well over 100 people),
Unfortunately this scene never made the final cut (heavy sigh ....LOL).
