So sad. For years, I worked as BackGround (BG) actor aka "extra" in the New York City area. Fun job. Delicious food. Friendly crew. Interesting people. Basically, our job was to show up and follow directions, pantomine, be the "blur" in the background, passersby, people in the background at restaurants, or at Grand Central Station. These "principle actors" are usually very kind, nice, down to earth, friendly, and are expected to be professional, as there is a lot of money riding on their performances.

When the "mandatory" Covid tests and Covid vaccinations were put into place in order to continue working as a BG actor, I stopped submitting for work, then left New York City. The repeated covid-19 tests and vaccination required to work is not worth getting injured or being killed by the vaccines. I'm sure many other BG actors left The City and their job as well.

Condolences to all those who are injured and died from the vaccine. They wanted to keep working and likely believed the propaganda by mainstream media and well-meaning, but ignorant colleagues who encouraged them to get the vaxx to continue working.

How sad.

It was the excessive heat and humidity of Jonestown, not the tasty refreshing Kool-aid.
