I'm exited to have been cast in a movie with Jennifer Connelly and Mark Ruffalo. It's directed by Terry George and written by Mira Nair. They show up at my hotel/apartment for the initial read-through/rehearsal/blocking. I'm handed the script which is only a 4-page photocopied mess. I have trouble finding my lines (I'm the 5th or 6th lead named Miguel).

Later, I'm telling this story to Jennifer Connelly. We're in the audience of a local newscast as it's wrapping up. I'm sitting next to Josh Weill and his girlfriend shows up to give me a mix tape Josh made me. "It's in the other drawer." Josh tells her and she leaves to look for it. The broadcast ends with members of the audience holding up placards with their names on them.
