Hollywood career?

Some time ago, I wrote about the power of networks (refer to post may these networks last forever). But the thing that I’m going to write you about has exceeded all my expectations. I could NEVER think that going to Morocco may result in such story and adventure!

So… I was offered to play in a movie :) A movie directed by … Ridley Scott. A movie with… Russel Crowe and Leo DiCaprio. I am not joking! I am not making fun of you. That’s totally true! The name of the movie is “Body of lies” and it’s an American production which will be partially made in Morocco.

What did I do to be offered such exciting opportunity? As usually in such networking cases – nothing :) You just have to unconsciously be in the right place, at the right time and among the right people. So I was. A friend of my flat mate happened to know someone from the production crew. And they need European/American looking people. Well, I definitely fulfill this requirement (people keep telling me that I’m blond! I hate it!). Yesterday, a guy responsible for finding extras (PL – statysci) came to our flat, took some picture of us and gave us some details. They will need us for a couple days (max 5 days however luckily not in a row but spread within the period of October and November). We don’t need to say anything – just be in the background. He also said to me that I would be a good person for playing soldier! (but they will need to cut my hair since it's quite long - I haven't cut it since I left Poland) :D They money they offered seems to be quite good as well. For 3 days of being actor I would get equivalent of my salary here. Of course my supreme goal is not making money but taking a picture with Russel or Leo :)

I don’t want to get excited (well, I guess it's too late... I'm already excited) before anything happens since it’s often that someone promises you something and then nothing happens. However, the guy told us that they needed a lot of Europeans/Americans and it was not easy to find them here so probably there would be no selection process. It seems we’re already in!

What more can I say? Post some comments :)

May these networks last forever!!!
