I took this photo in the late eighties, feeling particularly de-humanized by some stupid audition for some stupid T.V. show. These were the stacks of photos on top of a desk in the casting office. Below the desk were mountains of thousands more shots, so I guess this stack represents the actors who actually got considered by the underling of an assistant. Barbara Billingsley is a wonderful actress who was made famous on "Leave It To Beaver," and David Rasche is another actor of great talent and wide experience. Years later I met David Rasche and told him about the ugly gallows humor in this photo, and he didn't appreciate it at all. Oh well.
Hey, I didn't get the job either, my photo was probably just under his, but I think we all managed to survive.
Love from Wilson World,

Rejection is part of the film business...And I deeply think the best actors are more rejected than the others are! don't know why...but many fabulous artists had to struggle before succeeding in the film industry.
