I read
Watchmen a few years ago and ever since have been determined to get everyone I know to read it. I'm a motorcycle builder and mechanic living in Washington, and know very little about the movie industry, but when I heard they were filming a movie version of
Watchmen in Vancouver, I knew I had to find a way in.
I started looking on the Internet for Vancouver production offices, and lists of the movies being produced, and managed to figure out who was casting the extras for
Watchmen. I figured that being an extra was likely one of the easiest ways to get into the movie, considering I have no acting experience.
I contacted someone in the casting department and pleaded my case to her. I told her I was a huge fan, and just wanted to be able to say I was part of the
Watchmen movie - part of
Watchmen history. Thank God she heard me. That's not to say it didn't take a while to convince her. I emailed her about once every other week from August through December. Finally, she contacted me on December 7th and offered me a part as an extra in the studio audience of the Dr. Manhattan talk show appearance scene.
