Serves the little git right.
My missus worked for about 10 years as an extra in various guises and managed to get a job on Phantom Menace - specifically on the final Naboo celebration scenes.

As most of you can imagine, there were only around 20 - 30 actual people filmed as a crowd before they were slavishly replicated fifty squillion times in post production.

Apparently it was a good day, with good food and surprisingly good quality costuming and make-up for the extras.

The day was marred only by one little turd of an actor who decided that whilst not filming, throwing stones at the extras was an acceptable and worthwhile use of his time, giggling as he did as he was safe in the knowledge that as 'the Talent' he could do whatever the hell he wanted without repercussions.

Complaints to production staff fell on deaf ears and quite a few of the extras left that day with sizable bruises on arms and legs from the little twunt's exercise in twattery.

Every so often she checks IMDB and laughs at the fact that she's done more pro work as background scum (her words) than he's managed.

Having said that, she was completely underwhelmed at the fact she was in a Star Wars film (albeit a shitty one) so maybe she was less deserving of sympathy...

She's a goldmine of celeb meetings so I may pinch a few for my own post.
