Jack & Jill

Back in January on the 18th & 21st I worked as an extra on a new feature film comedy called "Jack & Jill". It is a movie about twins named Jack & Jill and Adam Sandler plays both characters. This was my first extra job with a really big actor and so I was excited. It was a pretty big call though about 500 people and we shot it at the Staples Center in downtown LA.

They had some of the Lakers players there (none of the big named ones though), they had the laker girls there as well. We basically shot basketball scenes and audience shots with Adam Sandler playing both Jack and Jill which was kind of cool to watch. They had a green screen for parts of it and a stand in who played whichever role Adam Sandler wasn't playing so he could have a real body there and someone to talk to in the scenes.

Another pleasant surprise was that Al Pacino & Johnny Depp were both there as well shooting cameos for the movie. Johnny Depp was wearing a Justin Bieber t-shirt which I thought was pretty funny and apparently its an inside joke for the movie or something. It was kind of weird seeing big name actors up close - a little surreal but it was cool too. They seemed pretty down to earth and nice guys. I didn't get to talk with them though. They were long days the 2nd one was a late afternoon call time and we shot until 4am the next day which was a little exhausting but it was still pretty fun. I met some other nice extras to hang out with for those two days. We weren't allowed to take any pictures which was kind of a bummer but understandable too. As of right now the movie is scheduled to hit theaters in November so keep an eye out :)
