Just wanted to give you an update about Josh and John. I signed them up with Kids Background just before Christmas, and they have each booked their first jobs! (I missed a few text messages before that, I’ll admit, so they might have gone out sooner.)
A couple of weeks ago, Josh spent the day on the set of The Inside, an FBI drama that we have heard will be a potential FOX midseason replacement. He received a SAG voucher for this one. They used the kids quite a bit as the story line involved the death of a child and the scenes we were shooting took place at school. The crew was great and Josh had a blast being on set. He even had a minor background bit where a police officer was asking him and his “mom” questions.
Last week, John got lucky and scored a SAG Burger King commercial that will be a tie-in with the upcoming Robots movie! The set was very professional and organized; I was so impressed. John had so much fun and was sad that they stopped shooting early because of rain. The highlight of John’s day, besides being on camera and getting out of school (of course), was getting to drink the blue slurpees featured in the commercial once shooting was finished! He’s still talking about it :-).
Both boys can’t wait to go out again – and my daughter Janna (5) is anxiously awaiting her turn! I will send you pictures by mail. Thank you and The Hollywood Group for helping us through this process.
Best regards, Judy Kim Jamison
