Re: what is needed

    I have a grandson who was in a movie, he's most visible in the 
background in the yellow T-shirt messing with the balloons at 3:09 but in 
flashes a couple other places. It was a promotional film and no one got 
paid, not even the writers and producers. But it did get him a couple other 
paying gigs with the producers it later movies. He's actually listed twice 
in the trailer, as Charles Foreman and Neil Foreman (his name is Charles 
Neil but he goes by Neil)
