My
name is Jeff Kelleher and I had an opportunity to participate as an extra for
about a week straight. I had a great time, using my car as the start of the drive
through "traffic jam" at Wendy's, and having my car used to be parked in front
of the car that Haley and Ryan were sitting in later that night. The
most exciting day was during one of the days of filming in the UNCG gym. People
were being randomly selected and seated throughout the bleachers as extras, and
as everyone got seated I thought for sure I wasn't going to be chosen, but to
my surprise I was anything but right. I was the last person to be chosen and in
came Haley and Danielle to sit right next to me! 
During
I guess what was a break for production crew, I decided to break the rule of "not
to talk to the actors", since they were working, and take this once in a life
time chance to speak to Haley and Danielle. They both are two of the most down
to earth people I've ever met. Haley talked about books he liked, playing the
guitar, and his 4.5 G.P.A which did nothing but made me feel guilty since he can
maintain those grades while being an accredited actor, and I'm just an average
joe. The entire experience was unbelievable
and I can't wait for the release! |
