To Outgrade, or Not to Outgrade... That is the question.

So the brilliant geniuses over at BBDO ad agency have outgraded me from the Diet Mountain Dew spot mistakenly. How did this happen you ask? On the day, I had a stunt driver who was listed on the call sheet as GET AWAY DRIVER while I was listed as ROBBER #1. In the spot they saw two robber, ROBBER #2 and #3 and a get away driver, so they assumed that ROBBER #1 wasn't in the spot any more. Make sense?
The point is I'm in the spot and they thought I wasn't. So now me, my agent and SAG are clearing this matter up so I can get paid. The good news? The minute cut is still in exsistence and probably airing right now since none of the other guys got outgraded. So keep an eye out.
I have to thank one of the other actors on set Darrin Jacques for forwarding me the spot in the first place. If he hadn't done that then I wouldn't have even wondered why I was downgraded. Thanks Darrin!
Just goes to show you... mistakes can be made. Stay on top of your career and the projects you work on and don't take other people's words for stuff, not even your agents. Find out yourself!

AMAZING keep us posted. That's why any performers here in the Holdon Log office are instructed to grab those call sheets no matter what and bring them home as well as be sure to exchange info with the other performers.
This is gold!
Good luck.
BTW we know another actor in your spot from Sanford Meisner.
Small world!
Be BOLD,
