photo by john nixonI finally made it! The words echoed in Roger’s mind, mocking him.
His agent had called that morning with a last minute opportunity. They needed an extra for a movie being shot downtown.
He’d skipped showering and breakfast, calling his mother from the car. “This is my chance, Mom. I finally got my foot in the door.”
Roger blushed. The camera would never even see his face. He heard the other actors speaking over his purple, plaid butt, which would one day fill the silver screen.
He sighed, laughing at himself. My ass finally made it.

ha ha… a fun story. ☺ a show break, even a small one is better than none at all…
i agree!
From small beginnings… well maybe it’s not that small but I’m sure it will lead to greater things. He sounds cool about it anyway. Nice work.
thanks 🙂
You’ve got to learn how to laugh at yourself. Poor Roger.
i think overall he’s being a good sport.
thanks for commenting!
LOL. I think he’s got the right idea. From little acorns…
Funny story, although that would be let-down! He is being a good sport, though, so good for him.

I’ve heard of getting your foot in the door, but this is a slightly different approach!
😉
A grand debut. Nicely done.
thanks 🙂
Fun! A break is a break. You portrayed his home in a grand way. Left me pulling for him. Nice.
thanks 🙂
Dear E. E.
My son once got a part as an extra in a UCLA movie. He was a corpse rolled up in a carpet. Only his feet were visible. Your story put me in mind of that.
Well written and fun to read.
Shalom,
Rochelle
