Sarah's Cable TV Commercial

Obviously, Sarah got selected to be in this commercial for cable and internet service. Since they were looking for a woman to play Sarah's Mother, they asked me to audition too. It was my first audition and although I didn't make it, I made the "short list" which is down between me and another gal. I guess they thought she looked more like Sarah's Mother than I did! This is especially funny since you only get to see the back of her head! The shoot was really fun. It was an all-day affair, but we got to meet some interesting people. The guy who played the Doctor was from Africa. He is married to a Japanese woman and they are expecting their first baby. He came to Japan to be with his brother who left Africa a while ago. The guy who played Sarah's Dad is French, also married to a Japanese girl, and just had his first baby...he slept alot between shoots. The woman who was Sarah's Mother was Italian and looked a lot like my brother's wife Jill...also Italian, but she was blond. She is married to a Japanese man whom she met while in school in England. She said to me "I never thought I would ever marry a Japanese guy" but it was funny how she scrunched up her nose when she said "Japanese." I guess she got over it! Sarah had a blast playing with the bears. One is supposed to be the uncle of the other one. One is a newspaper reporter...not sure how that is supposed to play into the commercial for cable TV. Anyway, it was just another fun adventure.
