Notes from an Extra

A recent Lost extra named Katie runs a blog called See Katie Work, where she wrote a post chronicling her afternoon on the set. It has since mysteriously disappeared -- possibly an overreaction by ABC or something, since the post contained extremely minor spoilers -- but luckily, Approaching Lost grabbed an excerpt:

“I was officially cast as “Mom on Swing.” This role required me push an 8 year old girl on a swing then stand by a fence and pretend to talk to a “Dharmite”, and as soon as a siren went off, I ran to my “daughter”, picked her up, and ran into a house. I also walked down a sidewalk right past Sawyer. I got to wear clothes from the 70s. I had to sign a confidentiality paper, so I don’t give away the plot, so that’s all I’ll say.
On Tuesday, I was a “Dharmite” … While I was waiting to be called to set, I was sitting at a picnic table with a few other background actors. Sawyer had a break, so he walked over to the picnic table and picked up a guitar and started singing the blues to me. Okay … he was probably singing to all of us, but he kept looking at me. It was crazy. Speaking of being so close to the actors, I had hair and makeup sitting between the girl who plays Juliet (Elizabeth Marshall) [sic] and the asian guy (Daniel Dae Kim). They were really nice and talked to me.“

Then again...read a certain way, and the spoilers are more than just minor. Hmm.
