I think it’s time for another OMG casting moment -- well this really qualifies as moments, but it’s for the same role so I guess I can lump them together. These are still a little embarrassing for me. I hope you thoroughly enjoy my humiliation.
I
did this little indie film where a major role was a transsexual
prostitute. The director really wanted to find an authentic transgender
actor. This is harder than you might think. Especially for a very
emotionally demanding scene opposite an Academy Award winning actor.
During
this project I saw more male genitalia squished into pantyhose than I
ever imagined I would see in my lifetime. (I'm not quite sure why they
all felt the need to hike their skirts way up and sit with their legs
apart.) One lovely lady, wearing a fishnet top (sans bra), even placed
my hand on her surgically enhanced breast so I could feel how real it
felt. I only remember how much I wish the mesh covered a little more and
how surprisingly soft her skin was through the holes. But the strangest
encounter on this project was when an actor explained how to “tuck your
junk” with a full-on demonstration using duct tape. Some things cannot
be unseen.
And on that note, have a wonderful holiday season everyone! I’ll be back in the New Year.
