So my old man heard about a call for extras for a movie filming in our area. He showed up, and they immediately pulled him aside to play a meth cook. He has to wear a chemical suit, because apparantly the public thinks all meth manufacturers look like they do in Breaking Bad. He also happens to have bad teeth and a few tattoos. Anyway, I think this is hilarious. If this isn’t MPSIMS, I don’t know what is.

Why would the teeth and tattoos matter if he’s covered in a chemical suit?

Probably have him pull off the hood and smile to make a point.

Pretty cool. Tell him to have fun!

(Aside: Had a major disconnect because for me “my old man” would be my dad and not my fiance… Then I figured it out.)

My husband badgered his way into a bit part in a TV series once. He was all ‘I feel like Richard Bronson’ getting ready in the morning. We end up seeing his back as he played a prisoner getting visited. Later there he was with a hoe, in the open prison garden. 😃

If only conjugal visits were this great in real life! 😉

Do you mean ‘Richard Branson?’ Or ‘Charles Bronson?’ Or ‘Pierce Brosnan?’
