BlackArtemis Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Met a special FX guy at CM Ram, he had food poisoning. Well the Thai with him is my Fiancee's friend. SOoooo I ended up casting as a missionary to the Karen people. If I get the part I get to be killed IMO it's all in good fun, I grew up playing "Rambo" is the schoolyard.

dmerchent Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Went down and filled out the paper for the Rambo movie extras....they are really looking for families with children...one guy came in while we were there with pictures of his wife and kids and they told him they were really looking for families and if he could bring them in that day or tomorrow... Tuesday... they even chased us down while we were on our way out to ask if we had any children. So if you have kids it sounds like it would be a good oportunity for some fun family time... for families with children, it doesn't sound like they are sticking to the Mon. or Friday application time.

So if you have kids it sounds like it would be a good oportunity for some fun family time... for families with children, it doesn't sound like they are sticking to the Mon. or Friday application time. That sounds like it was me ! We came back a couple of hours later, registered and got photographed, and they said they want tourist-looking families, to be part of the audience at a snake-show. So at least it's a free visit, for the kids, to see something new ! Kids only get paid 800B, by the way. Seems they can use any family that can pass for tourists, my wife looks slightly Japanese (to some Thais) , and our kids are definitely luk-kreung. Their white-board, for types still needed, also included girls for a bg-scene, and 'tints (Burma)' , whatever that means ?! Filming was likely to be 26th/27th/28th February - we were told.

gummy Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 If he is convicted of the charge of importing banned drugs, in this case steroids, what would the legal position be for him here in Thailand, assuming that is the case is heard in Oz before the end of filming ?

BlackArtemis Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I was accepted for a role, but when they finally called up it was finals week and I couldn't do it :/ O well, I just wanted to do it for #$%@s and giggles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow Boy Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 If he is convicted of the charge of importing banned drugs, in this case steroids, what would the legal position be for him here in Thailand, assuming that is the case is heard in Oz before the end of filming ? His lawyer fronted up to the Downing Street courts yesterday and the charges were read. This is a serious crime in Australia because of the quantity and if convicted the sentence is a hefty fine/possible jail time/ banned from returning to Australia. Not sure if it will affect him coming to Thailand though because the drug offence is steroids which doesn't figure among the usual category of drugs such as Heroin, cocaine. It hasn't stopped people like Peter Dougherty from getting a visa to enter the kingdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
