Anyone ever acted in anything?

[Slobadog]

A play? A movie? A skit? A party? Some other event? Professional? Amature?



Do you find yourself having to act in order behave effectively in all social encounters or do you only need to act for a official show?


Were you in comdies? Trajedies ? Tragic comedies Westerns ? Tragic comic westerns? Were they worthy of watching by us? Or would they help us get some stuff out of our system?

Were you type cast or miscast . A leader or a extra ?

Well I did some acting. Yeah mostly as a teen or young adult. Hardly anything preteen. Nothing professionaly. My acting was mostly due to the occasion of plays that were performed by a homeschool group. A little bit of the acting experiences were in partys and certain nontheatrical projects performed by homeschool groups and churches. I took some minor acting lessons at some pace when I was a early teen. When it came to fitting in socially I only felt a need to act during the first half of my teen years. Well sometimes when extremely ill I have felt a need to act to behave properly socially but most fortunatly thats not a common symptom for me.

Well its late so I'll say much more interesting things tomorrow.

I was the Munchkin King when we did The Wizard of Oz for my eight grade play. I was quite good.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

I was Aladdin in a cub scout play.

 

[Tee Kay]

Had a minor speaking part (one line) in school production in Grade 5.

Needless to say, I screwed up badly. I underestimated how nervous I would be and overestimated how good I look and sound on stage.

I never act on stage after that.

Various roles in college

 

[Ajidica]

Some minor stuff in middle school. I was a witness for Mock Trial in high school, which is quite similar to acting.

 

[Whomp]

I was an extra in "The Revenge of the Nerds". It was filmed on my college campus.

I only acted semi-professionally once (Withrop Paroo in The Music Man at a summer stock theatre in New Hampshire), then quite a bit in High School. But that little bit of acting hooked me into my career: I'm now a professional prop builder for Broadway and Off-Broadway shows.

I've also worked in TV and commercials, and I can say that the skills necessary to be good in one don't necessarily translate to another. I assume this would be the case in film as well, but I can't speak to that since I've never worked on one.

In fact, yes, but I'm not sure if it counts.

My friend once somehow got a bunch of money to direct and shoot a couple commercials for something. It was some sort of a writing centre (where they teach you how to improve your writing skills or something), but I can't remember the details because the commercial didn't make much sense.

I suppose it probably counts because I got paid $200 to act in it and to write music for it.

The premise is that some sort of a group throws a tiny hat party, but they don't do a good job with their poster, so nobody shows up. Oh yeah, I remember now! The commercial was some sort of a "Improve your presentation skills" seminar.. or something

I played the angry boss who shows up and demands why nobody's at the party. My acting was pretty mediocre.. but the directing was pretty horrible, so you can't really blame me.. and after postproduction the commercial actually came out okay! It didn't really make sense, and it ultimately failed in being a good commercial, but I look decent in it.

This guy made other videos for the same place, I don't understand how they kept paying him to do all that crap. He spent a lot of time on it, and it was "alright", but it didn't really make any sense in terms of what a commercial should be and what it shouldn't. The guy had weird ideas, and some of them were good, but he's never going to be a director

edit: I found the video on youtube but will probably not post it because I can totally act better than that! And turns out it's a "Tiny hat hamboree".. see, told you it didn't make sense

 

[cardgame]

I was the plaintiff's lawyer in a high school mock court, and did some stuff in elementary. Wouldn't count that though

 

[History_Buff]

Every year each of the six Engineering departments at the U of C make (usually pretty bad) movies for Engineering week. I've been in two of them. If you've ever seen Always Sunny in Philadelphia's Lethal Weapon 5, it's a lot like that.

Or, if for some insane reason, you want to watch them, they're here, under the gallery section. Though incidentally, the two that I'm in (2008, 2009 Geomatics entries) aren't up there.

We also shamelessly ripped off PowerThirst, as seen below. If you're an Engineer, you'll probably like it. If not, you won't. I take solace in the fact that it's perhaps the best received variation, and we climbed above 100K views not too long ago. I'm one of the two drunks throwing the double thumbs up at the camera around the 54 second mark.

I once acted in a play about a man who used way too many emoticons.

A play? Yes.

Movie? No.

Skit? Yep.

Party? Political or social?

Some other event? Yes.

Professional? No.

Amateur? Yep.

Acting in social encounters? Depends on the encounters.

Comedies? Yes.

Tragedies? Partly.

Westerns? Yep.

Worthy of being watched by CFC? Of course! If they were good enough for my grandma to watch, they were good enough for anybody!

Typecast?

Miscast? Definitely.

A leader? Once that I recall.

Extra? You could say that...

 

[azzaman333]

I said a line in a school production in grade 4.

 

[Hygro]

I was an extra in "The Revenge of the Nerds". It was filmed on my college campus.

Wut. How did I not know this. I have to see this.

 

[jtb1127]

I never have been part of any school production or any other type of theatrical.

 

[imperialman]

A play. Starred as Jesus. I was 6.

 

[aelf]

I did theatre in school as a subject so I've played parts in all kinds of plays, except maybe a tragicomedy. My favourite time was a scene in the Duchess of Malfi where I had to do a pretty extended sword fight. It was epic and everybody liked it.

 

[Mise]

When I was 14, three friends and I did a 7 minute comedy sketch where we acted like West Country farmers to secure 2nd place in a school talent competition. It's no exaggeration to say that that was the funniest thing I've ever done in my entire life and made me realise that I was blessed with the nebulous art of "comic timing". It's not for me to compare my life to that of Christ, but this was the point in my life where I realised that I was a funny person, in much the same way that Christ must have realised, at some point in his life, that he was the Son of God.

 

[Camikaze]

I signed a form to be filmed in a movie that was being shot at my work, but I don't think I got on camera. The top quarter of my sister's head was briefly in one scene, though. I also think I did a play in primary school.
