I have this on the Movie Rumor's page as well but I don't know if everyone views it.  

I just wanted to let everyone know that I have been casted as an extra for the film Battle in Seattle for the rioting scenes in Seattle.  I have to report to the set on December 9th and 10th for filming.

I hate when people put this stuff up but I'm just too d*rn excited!  I'll see if I can maybe take some pictures from the set and get some more info regarding the movie.

Maybe I could ask Stuart Townsend to give me a credit.....

Charlize Theron...Illana
Michelle Rodriguez....Lou
Ray Liotta....Mayor
Guy Jackson ....Protester #1,032

Has a ring to it doesn't it?  I think it would look fine up on IMDB.com hahahahaha

Here's the IMDB profile for the film http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0850253/

The film has a release date of November 2008 as of now.

Hey, that's pretty cool, Guy.

Now -- when I hear on the news about Michelle Rodriguez getting harassed by some crazed lunatic on the set of her new film -- I'll know who it is...

Michelle Rodriguez doesnt get harassed, Michelle Rodrigues does the harassing.

Congrats Guy.

Well done Guy. That's very exciting to have anything to do with a film. Very cool.

Big Congratulations Guy!

Turn on your charm (I know you can do this) and try to network while you're there.

Do NOT try to stick out from the crowd and get noticed during filming. They don't want extra's that are "visible". That's the fastest way to get cut in editing. (I have some experience in this).

Do however make sure that you show up on time and that you are easy to work with.

Other than that, have a blast!   ;)

Hey guys, thanks for the support.

Ayham - Thanks buddy.  I don't know how much acting will be required of me but I'm definately looking foward to it, haha.

Helio - I know man I was gunning for protester #1031 but I guess I just didn't fit Townsend's profile of that role, hahaha.

Alex - I actually did this on a bet.  A friend and I sent in our information and photos to the casting director, who we found in an entertainment magazine, haha.  I got the call, she didn't,  I told her it was because she was too ugly (which she is not even CLOSE to being).  I got a slap on the head for my actons.  It's pretty funny too because she's going to an acting school and all these acting classes, and I'm a writer, haha.  They also had a form to fill out on the official site for extras but I don't think anyone got it that way.

bert - Haha, you damn right you know who it will be!  I also read that Michelle's character is a protester as well so hopefully she be within viewing distance, haha.  She is so frackin hot...

Higg - Thanks buddy.  Oh, and Michelle Rodriguez can harrass me any time.  I really can't say I would have a problem with that, haha.

George - Yeah that's how I'm looking at it.  I could really care less about screen time, I'm more excited about being on a movie set and seeing how everything is done in person.

Jordan (I hope that's your name, haha.) - I will definately be having a blast.  I don't care what I have to do, I'm having me some fun those two days.

Pia - Oh I think my "Chris Booker" personallity will be in full tilt that day, haha.  With all those producers and filmmakers there, I'm getting me some phone numbers before I leave.  I'll try not to be too much a dick though when it comes to protesting, haha.

Kevan - Oh yeah, I'm prepared to be Townsend's bitch for two days.  I'm sure we'll be standing around in the Seattle winter weather for hours on end.  I'm also prepared to probalby not even be working with the director.  I have a feeling the extra scenes might be filmed by the second unit, but either way I'm psyched.


Thanks again guys.  I don't know how much of my "acting ability" will be required because I hardly have one, haha.  That's why I write.  But this is going to be a blast and I can't wait.
