I was an extra in "The Earnest Green Story" in Little Rock. I rode in the back of a jeep in a scene where they were sending the National Guard to Central High. Got minimum wage for the three days it took to shoot it.
I was in the audience on bowling for Dollars my uncle was bowling got to introduce us as the camera panned at us. I heard the local news channel was coming to the school I work at so I made a bet with my boss I'll get on TV. Put on my safety vest picked my spot and won the bet
