You're with a group of friends and one of them says, “I worked with David Lynch.” The reply goes up, Awesome! What was it like!? “Well, there was a lot of standing around, and I was in a big crowd. It was really cold and I had to wait a long time. There was lots of free coffee. At one point during the shoot I had to walk right by Bill Pullman and he almost tripped over me! They might have had to re-shoot the scene because of something I did!” OK, being an extra in a movie might not be the most exciting thing, but then again, one never knows. A chance meeting, an impromptu conversation, a moment where a person might become a memorable face in an otherwise indistinct crowd. Welcome to Porchlight Presents: Brushes with Fame.
