Aaron Marcus got his lines changed the night before shooting a feature film. He asked a fellow actor, who sent him to the writer, who sent him to the director. The director answered his questions and he performed confidently. Always ask the director first about script changes.
Hi, I'm Aaron Marcus, and here's your weekly acting and modeling video blog. I just had a really interesting situation come up, and I learned something new, and I wanted to share it with you. So I was cast to shoot a feature film, and I got some changes in my script literally the night before I was going to shoot, and they completely changed my lines. So as I'm flying to location, memorizing things, trying to figure out how to do certain things, and I had some questions. There were some things that weren't 100% sure to me. So honestly, I wasn't sure exactly who would be the best person to talk with about this. So early in the morning, I had like a 6 AM pickup time to get to the set, and I was sitting in the van with the stars of this particular project. And these are people who've been working in this film for For a little while. And so I asked one of the actors. I said, you know, I've got a question about some of my sides here. Who do you think would be the best person to talk with? And the guy said, well, why don't you talk with one of the writers? When we get off the van, I'll point them out to you, or one of the writers. There were a few writers. And then you can ask the writer. So we got off. The guy was really nice. Really appreciated it. And he walked me over to one of the writers, and I was starting to ask him a question. He said, you know, that's not really a question that I should be answering. That's really a call for the director. I said, okay, great. What's the best way to reach the director here? He said, just wait until you're on set. He's really swamped. But before you start shooting, just walk over to the director. That's exactly what I did. I was able to ask a couple questions. He was able to explain things very clearly to me. Then I was ready to work. It worked out really, really well. If you ever have questions about your script, I would suggest that, you know, you could try going to one of the writers if you can find them on the set, but perhaps going to the director is really the best way to do it. So if you have any questions at all, always feel free to go to my facebook.com/howtomodel page. You can also go to howtomodel.com and ask me there. Or if it's something that's more personal, you can always send me an email at aaron@howtomodel.com. And feel free to share this with other people, and I look forward to talking with you real soon. Bye. A.
