I was cast as an extra for the LGBTQ+ Bar scene. That's right, I've been directed by James Gunn. It was a blast, but a hard day's work. We had to dance to The Waitresses for over six hours while they shot the scene. Most of it was cut.

That guys to good looking. C'mon where were you really. I know you're not that light on your feet.
Seriously now... How'd you land that gig?
A lot of Marvel movies are filmed here. I tried for months to get my son cast as an extra. Never got the call, but met a few casting directors.
Years later, after the pandemic, I get a call out of the blue from one of the casting companies. They don't want Connor, they are looking for middle aged men. I nearly fell off my chair when they told me what the scene was. My wife laughed at me.
Sent in a head shot. Boom.
Nice!
Looks like a blast!
Very cool CJ, experience of a lifetime, I would have never picked you from the video if you hadn't pointed it out ;-)
I downloaded the film, so I will get a close eye, to see if i can spot you on my own
Looks cool. You should have turned it down because dancing is for people who are pathetic.
I would have picked you out if I knew you were in there.
Now you have to hope you aren’t type cast :-).
Some of us will be in Atlanta in Feb. Any interest to meet up again?
I am also part of "some of us" !
It would be good to see you CJ.
Adam will be with me again and also (by special permission) the Mrs.
