Nextel Commercial

I remember when I got this commercial thinking, "I earned this one." One of the callbacks included trying on the Pit Crew costumes. The pants they handed me were a good 6 inches larger than my waist & 2 inches longer. These were the real deal fire-retardant pit crew clothes. I remember thinking that if these pants didn't look right on me, I might lose the job to someone they fit better. For specialized wardrobes like this wardrobe probably isn't allowed to bring 'em in. I'm all for the craft of acting, but I also have no problem hanging my pants loop on the back side of my jacket buttons so they hang on and hang right. Hey, my agent isn't submitting me so I can make problems. They are submitting me so I can get them paid... and me paid... and I got the job as one of the pit crew.

Then on set, I made sure I kept in the directors eye-line when he was setting up shots. Next thing I know, I'm the guy who brings out the new Matt Kenseth robot while almost all the other pit crew guys get relegated mostly to cheering.
