My wife's uncle just died. He was in hundreds of films/TV shows. He was mostly used as a body double. And often he got no screen credits. He was very good looking, athletic, trim. But didn't do big stunts. Because of his job, which he could always put on hold, he was available nearly anytime to the studio. And it helped he lived nearby. He said a lot of his shots were performed after the regular filming was already done. And the stars had gone. I was also a neighbor to a studio musician and his work.never got screen credit. But he said it was better then being always on tour. Hollywood has a lot of jobs you never heard of.

So very interestingly awsome and interestingly informative video, I really liked and enjoyed it and I learned alot about background actors in western cinema, Ionce again got a lot of inspiration for both my mythos project ' New Earth Star Files and the Mysteriarch Mythos: Pixel Pioneers and the polygon realms and my spiritual journey/ truth curiosity seeking documents project. Great job and well done, keep up the great work. I'm definitely going to be adding some western cinema and old west frontier history to both my writing projects.

@@ArizonaGhostriders thanks and your welcome. Right now I'm getting further inspiration from true encounters and true stories of sky creatures, extraterrestrials and UFOs as well as other paranormal and supernatural encounters for both my writing projects. I realized that everyone has their own truths and beliefs of the universe, though I do not fully agree or resonate with the truths and beliefs of star seeds , light workers or galactic emissaries that some people in the world are, I just let people believe what they want and not argue.

Well, Santee, I think the next movie set you’re involved in, you should walk right up to the producer and demand to have the leading role, you know, the one who rides off into the sunset with the beautiful leading lady.

I sure wish somebody would be brave enough to bring back weekly westerns to television or even you tube.. we sure could use some like Gunsmoke or bonanza or lonesome dove...without all the extra drama added in...but we all know what...sells...but if those series ran many years without it. We should be able to recreate the feeling...and knowing that there is a clear line between good and bad people.. just a thought and wish. ...anybody else feel the same way?

A nice episode Santee, it’s a good idea to do these as I’ve been on amateur sets where even though I had a main part, the other guy thought the fight scene had to really be fought. It was so bad and the guy couldn’t get it into his head and the guy just didn’t know how to act that I almost walked off set. Unfortunately he was also the director. But I won’t be working with him ever again.

@@ArizonaGhostriders it’s one of those things Santee, I’ve had good experiences too. I think the world sees things and “presumes” things are done a certain way, without having experience or bothering to learn. The best film set I was on was for a documentary for the life of Tupac. It was a small set but very professional, I have an LAPD Crown Victoria Police Interceptor and the LAPD uniform, and when ever the car is needed for a film set, I always wear my uniform, the director was so impressed with the detail in the uniform he asked if I would be one of the arresting officers, so I got to take Tupac down and handcuff him lol. I wasn’t expecting that, but it’s happened a couple of times when I wear the uniform. I think because I’m 6’ 2” and quite broad shouldered and carry myself with confidence, they notice that, I never slouch in the uniform. I also see it as in that uniform, I’m portraying the LAPD and Police everywhere so I try my best to conduct myself in a professional manner to honour them. At Car shows, I’ve had parents say to their kids, if they don’t behave, they have me arrest them, which I respond, I don’t arrest children, and then pretend to arrest their parent, and pop them in the back of the shop lol, the kids faces light up and gives them a story to tell their friends at school lol 😂

" 🎶So long ya big lummox, I'm glad ya backed out!🎵" Sometimes you get paid to be an extra, maybe enough to cover transportation (gas money). Usually you have to provide your own wardrobe, unless it's a bigger production.
