text: have you ever been in a movie? as an extra or more involved part? what movie was it?  i got to be an extra in meg ryans upcoming movie "in the land of women." it was filmed in my hometown in canada. omg yes! it was purely by luck, though. when "miss congeniality" was shot in san antonio for the miss united states portion of the movie, there is a scene where sandra bullock jumps a guy with a cowboy hat because she thinks he has a gun (it's really a lighter). well right before that, they show the crowd, and i'm one of the extras in the background with my dad who is wearing a blue shirt and cowboy hat! it was awesome!!!
