I know it is very short notice for work when they call because they are given short notice when i get a call from universal talent i have a pen in hand and i am ready to work. the next morning

I am one of the lucky ones because i do not have to make arrangments for other work or childcare ect. last friday i got a call for a law&order extra job i was very excited.

the job was for monday morning 6 :30 check in in NYC I had to take a bus from jersey into the city at 5:00 am. take the subway at 6 am to be on location by 630 it was a 12 hour day my scheduale allows me to be flexable john and Jim are not con artist.

 i am reliable and flexable so i am available on short notice. this is part time work and 3 weeks went by were there was no work for me i am middle age and white brown hair blue eyes ect. so i am not going to get picked for everyjob no matter how eager or reliable i am working this sunday that how this work is.

I 'registered' with this company several years ago, they took a polaroid for their files, and asked for $20.00. Then, after that they wanted $800. for head shots and $1200 for acting lessons, this mind you for $50-100 a day as background? I declined and heard nothing till the other day when I answered a craigslist ad and they responded. I explained I was registered and had never gotten work? The individual snapped if I were in fact registered with them I would have gotten 'lots' of work? The fact is I did register I told him and still had the reciept. End of conversation right? Listen folks, we are in a new age, Polaroid announced they will no longer make the film for these cameras, any body in this business who asks for head shots in the age of Kodak-Easy Share and all the rest? Well? lets just say I have a hand crank in the garage for them to start their car with hmmmmm?
