I was a background artist (extra) in "Courage Under Fire" when it was filming near Austin, Texas.
I got to meet Denzel Washington and was in a scene with him but of course it got cut. I met Lou Diamond Philips but was not in any scenes with him. I saw Meg Ryan but did not get to meet her.
I met other support actors too and all were very pleasant to work with. I also drove trucks, stood around and thoroughly enjoyed the three weeks I spent on the set.
I plan on trying to be in more movies now that I am retired but I am not quite done working full time. As soon as I retire completely I will try and make it to casting calls and auditions to be in more movies and productions. They are always looking for old guys to sit around and look old. Easy work if you can get it.
