Is her momma crazy? We better find out.....

So, my hunch was right! When you have a child actor who is being considered for a project, they audition the child AND the parent! I was talking with a VIP on set who confirmed my suspicions! He told me that production really considers what the parents are like before they make their final decision on hiring a child actor. What if I were a neurotic nut of a parent? That would make movie making process that much harder. What if i were "back seat directing", coaching Yara on her lines? Oh man, would I be a pain in the tush! Luckily my instincts have seemed to lead me in the right direction. I always strive to be as professional as possible on set. Seen and barely heard, because the truth is, there is a hierarchy on set. If you are a principal actor, more flexibility is afforded to you. But if you are an extra or a double or a mommy..... there are a different set of unspoken rules. I am collecting information ya'll!
