Well, not for me, but for my Dad...
A few weeks ago, my sister was contacted by her modeling agency, asking if she knew any 'real' butchers or bus drivers for an open audition for an upcoming Spring Lamb TV commercial.
Both myself (butcher) and my dad (bus/truck/coach-anything with wheels- driver) went to the audition and got knocked back for that role, BUT my Dad has since been called back for several auditions for another role.
Well, he got notified today, he's been accepted for a TV commercial role alongside none other than the great William Shattner!!!
It's for a New Zealand company, and he plays a PC geek frustrated with his data speed, and Shats comes to the rescue... Not sure if it will be shown in Australia, but I'm sure it will turn up on YouTube at some point. Shooting starts on Monday, so I'm hoping I can find a way to go with him and sneak a chat with Capt. Kirk
Anyone else have a 15 minutes of fame story???
