ACTING | ‘MONSTER PIES’ – Meeting And Cheating

I’d read the script. Now it was time to meet the director and my future on-screen ‘wife’.

On the way from the local train station to meet them, I helped out a young mum with a pram who was slightly lost. We were going the same way -- sort of. I had a map, so it made sense to walk together.

She asked me what I was doing in the area with a map and I said I was “going to meet a guy”. That sounded kinda dodgy, so I added “he’s a film director and it’s about a part in his next film”.

“Oh!”, she burst out, “are you an actor? What’s your name?”

“Sean”, I said thinking she meant to introduce herself.

“Sean who? What have I seen you in?”

I tried to assure her I was a nobody, but she seemed pretty pleased to spend a little part of her day with an actor. Doesn’t happen every day apparently. To me either!

So I met the director and the actress who will be playing my ‘wife’. I apologised to her pretty much straight away ....to learn why ...you'll just have to join me on the red carpet.

Charming!
