LoL, that reminds me of the old SNL Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy...something like....

"If I were going to give the president a present, it would be a chocolate gun, but since he's really busy, I'd run up to him really fast with it..."

Please keep us posted on the show, I'd love to catch that footage when it comes out!

Please try not to do that next time. If they know there are unicyclists with "skill and personality" out there who will work for free, it kind of ruins the market (okay, potential for a market) for unicyclists who can't afford to give up a day for free. The level of publicity for the sport is the same either way.

That said, if you're the one they hire good luck, and have a great time with it!

If I lived in the LA area I'd like to hope I could do some of those gigs. Not much call for it up here...

Turns out that she is simply a "representative" who makes the intial contacts. I only mentioned the pay thing in passing. She replied that the pay is set and that my not caring about the compensation amount would have *no* impact on the producer's decision. The Lady I spoke with is not in a position to make any hiring decisions.

Nah, non-union extra work pays $60 for 8h. Union is $125 for 8h.

A regular Union show with a union actor a skill like Unicycling as an extra should pay about $200 for 8h, but that's union, and that's if the show isn't trying to be cheap.

Being that I've never heard of Godfrey Live, I'm assuming it's a fairly low budget show.

I emailed her and talked to her about doing it and she seemed interested until I just got an email stating it looks like they found someone else. So who's the luck guy or girl? Maybe UniGeezer for doing it for free! J/K
