Monk 100th episode.
Sep/080
My current list of favorite TV shows is something like this…
Lost and Heroes would be on that list if last season’s episodes had not been so weird.
Anyways, Monk is number three and as it turns out one of my best friends Jay was a background extra on the most recent episode (Season 7 episode 7, number 100 overall). I was pretty stoked for Jay when he told me, but I also couldn’t help feel a little jealous, especially when he told me he was also an extra for Pushing Daisies. What a lucky guy to be an extra on two Critically acclaimed, Emmy winning TV shows.
It seemed to me that background extras only get a few seconds of screen time if they’re lucky. And if they’re not too far off in the background, or if their back is not turned towards the camera, and if their face can be clearly seen during a scene, then they’re experiencing what most people can only hope to imagine; to be on television! I guess my friend was one of those lucky extras, because he is clearly seen sitting next to one of the main characters (Captain Leeland Stottlemyre and his fake ’stashe) in the first few scenes of the show.
Towards the end of the show, he’s the one crawling away behind the couch when a gun was brandished and things got serious. I’m sure he wasn’t told to do that by the director and that he was acting purely on instinct…dude got really scared, and it’s on film forever, haha.
The End

In a nutshell, this is the aftermath of months of wedding planning, days of practicing, hours upon hours in the hot Southern California Summer sun, and nearly as many hours consuming alcoholic beverages. The groom laid across the bench on his back drunk and exhausted, while one of the groomsmen sits nearby ready to hold his hair back just in case he needs to throw up some more.
