Life is absurd. Lean into it.
Might go check this out.
When it comes to actually being on set this is facts, if we can get away with using a stunt double or stand-in for a shot 9 times outta 10 the actor would prefer we do that so they don't gotta show up.
But you gotta think about the other training they have to do to match the character, might need to learn a language/accent and be fluent in a short amount of time, have a certain kind of build so ya body might get fukked up doing drastic diet changes, any combat training or fun courses, etc. etc. That shyt will fill up all of their free time, and we might be filming in a trash ass town so days off might be harder to get through than a work day around coworkers you fukk with
Countless promo runs across the country/glove after the project is done too so you still gotta be in people pleaser mode
Being side character in a lot of shyt is the real sweet spothardly have any responsibilities for real cuz you just a cameo
