Host: Shawn Spruce
The movie industry isn’t always about fame and glamour. There are a number of Native screen actors who are just fine staying out of the limelight and manage to at least supplement their income by securing jobs as movie extras. Monday on Native America Calling in this encore presentation (no phone calls), Shawn Spruce gets tips from the pros about what it takes to be a face in the movie crowd from Sonny Skyhawk (Citizen of the Rosebud Lakota Nation), founder of American Indians in Film & Television; Ronnie Thomas (Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas), tribal council treasurer of the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas; Lisa Yates (Osage); talent agent Michelle Shining Elk (Enrolled member of Colville Confederated Tribes); and casting director Angelique Midthunder.
