I am a professional Stand In

Simply put, I stand for a living. It gets much more complex than that and my job is very specialized, but the short answer for those that ask and don't really want to know is that I stand where the actor is going to stand so that the lighting and camera can rehearse and be ready for them.

I have heard of many different ways to describe what I do, but this blog will attempt to capture the daily adventures and frustrations from an anonymous perspective so that I can vent about the many frustrations of my job without fear of reprisal and/or career suicide.

Maybe a more apt title for this first post would be - Disclaimer
