I going to play a trans person on The Leftovers!

[StaceyJane]

Last year I got to work part time as an extra on the HBO series The Leftovers. I did six episodes and got some good scene time in episode 2 at an action scene. Last week a casting call went out for season 3 with a long list of characters their looking for. One of the character types was a member of the trans community. I was really excited and sent the casting agency a fun picture of me in a dress taken at the Dallas airport. Last night I got an email saying they wanted to book me for two days in May. They said the wardrobe department saw my picture and loved it so next week I've got a fitting. They asked for my clothing sizes in advance including my dress size. I told them that since I have big feet for a woman I could bring some of my own shoes to the fitting.

I'm so excited about this!!

[StaceyJane]

Last week I got to go to my fitting for the HBO series The Leftovers. The part I got was as a transsexual so I knew the fitting would be fun.
To get into the spirit of the fitting I went dressed as Stacey (okay I wanted a chance to wear my new shoes). When I arrived I checked in and waited with a couple of other people. We talked about our the parts we were playing one the show. One guy was to play a "sad Santa". He said he had played Santa every yeat at Christmas but didn't know what a sad Santa would look like.
After a few minutes the sad Santa and I were called into the fitting room. The wardrobe ladies were quite excited to see me. I had already given them my sizes so they had some stuff pick out to try on. We started with a fairly conservative outfit that looked like something a woman would wear to work. After getting me fitted in that and taking a picture of me they really town. All sorts of different looks were tried some involving fluffy house slippers and funny hats.
We spent over an hour going through different looks with them taking reference pictures several more times.
My sad Santa friend also got fitted in a really sad looking Santa outfit. Looked like the North Pole really fell on hard times.
Finally we finished. I think I went through all the women's clothes they had in my size. I put on my own clothes and as I was leaving I passed a friend who had just arrived to have her fitting. she already knew I was there for a transsexual part so she wasn't surprised to see me and she liked my outfit.
Lastly on my way home I got a message that I had accidently walked out wearing a piece of their jewelry. I had left over an hour earlier so I had to turn around and go back to give them the necklace back.
all in all it was a fun day. On the 11th and 12th I will be filming my part. Can't wait for that and I will tell everyone how that went.

[Amy Lynn3]
