I Wonder How Disappointed

[cassa333]

I wonder how disappointed production will be when they realise I have zeros resemblance to the actress I am standing in for?

I even have to wear her costume clothes but I might have put two stone on from my profile info (I haven’t but I might have wobbled a bit lol)

Strange world.

strange question ....

Wear a picture hat.

[dannyk13]

Who are you standing-in for

[jno]

why would resemblance to another actress be an issue? You're presumably not playing her, you're playing a character?

Joanna Scanlon

Since I don't know what you look like, either now or in the picture you sent in, or who the actress is you are standing in for, the short answer is, I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

[jno]

in that case I'd definitely be demanding my money back!

Joanna was once asked...

Who would play you in the film of your life?

Her reply...

A Nick Park claymation.

I'm sure you'll do fine.

My father, a serving Police Constable, was a stand-in for Sir Larry in the 40's production of Henry V. Originally he was allowed,by the then Commissioner of Police to volunteer, along with a load of other coppers, to play crowd extras in the battle scenes.My father's appearance bore a striking resemblance to Larry and stood in for him in the Boars Head scene and a couple with the herald Mountjoy whilst Larry was filming elsewhere.

As long as you can do a scouse accent you should be OK.

Retro saw that film on a class outing just after it came out.

[retrocop]

Quite innotive for it's day considering lack of manpower and resources during the war wasn't it?

I meant in the film industry obviously.

I like your honesty, cassa:)

Can you imitate her at all - speech, mannerisms etc.?

Otherwise I would say enjoy the experience and make the role your own. Hope you have some time to trim down a wee bit. Good luck.
