Title: Reenactors in House of Cards Season Two!
Post by: munky-wunky on December 13, 2013, 08:56:35 pm
Over this summer i was able to participate In a reenacting shoot for Netflix's House of Cards Season Two. It was a two day event in Maryland where they had us, reenactors as extras in Episode 6. They had us film behind Underwood and also film a battle sequence.  So we were paid as reenactors reenacting reenactors. So Meta!


Here is a still from the trailer. You can see my face right behind  the union artillery man, the tallest guy.

Walking dead and Game of Thrones aren't degrading I would say.

I'm 5'8" or 5'9", probably the former.

Apparently 5'9" is average for the UK but I'm generally a bit shorter than most people around me.

Oh yes, and being an extra is pretty cool. Did the filming take long?
