Highlight of the experience as a movie extra?
STONE: It was a bucket list item. The cast and crew were amazing and local Mark Charpentier, a producer on set, “hooked us up!” SALVONI: The catered lunch was out of this world! But do you know that they have a fuel truck that comes around every single day and fills the gas tanks for the cars of everyone involved on set?
Brush with stardom?
Stone: I ran into Jim Carrey on set … I mean I literally “ran into” him in the hallway in the first scene. Salvoni: During filming, the producer called me out in one scene. What he was yelling was something along the lines of “Hey d***head, get out of the scene!” Apparently, I had walked into the line of sight. But, at least, I got noticed.
Who did you channel for your role in this film? Salvoni: Polly Shore Stone: William Shatner
In what ways has stardom changed your life?
Stone: The paychecks. We made close to $54 for our role. Salvoni: My waistline. It was like being on a cruise. All we did was eat and drink for four days.
Highlight of filming?
Salvoni: When producer and director Peter Farrelly said, “You brought it!” Stone: Was that before or after he yelled “Hey d***head, get out of the line of sight!”
