Behind The Scenes of Making Movies & TV Shows: My Life As An Extra. Working Next To Adam Sandler, Jamie Foxx, Kate Winslet, & Jack Nicholson (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798995246800)

Most people watch movies and TV shows without giving a thought to the many people just outside the camera frame who make every shot possible. In Behind The Scenes of Making Movies & TV Shows, the author takes the reader into a hidden world--the world of background actors, directors, actors, prop people, cinematographers, stunt actors, wardrobe persons and many other skilled workers. Through candid, authentic stories, the author recounts his years on the "inside" of the creative process. Along the way, the author had encounters with Adam Sandler, Jamie Foxx, Jack Nicholson, Kate Winslet, Jean Smart, and more. There were chaotic shoot days, endless time waiting around, observing some great acting up close (and also some bad acting). Spending 20 years on various sets, the author received an education on how the people who entertain us put together their artistic projects. Along the way, the author reveals the surprises, the etiquette and the unspoken codes that keep productions running. Part memoir, part "behind-the-curtain" tour, this book is perfect for film lovers, aspiring extras or actors, or anyone who wants to understand how the world of entertainment actually works. Step onto a set and read about the creation of movie and TV shows through the eyes of someone who lived it. It was hard work, but it was fun too (at least part of the time).
