We CRAWL along, stopping ABOVE the vent. STEAM from the kitchen below imparts a GAMEY aroma. Hit by a wave of nausea, I struggle to finish the scene. But it does end finally, and I scurry down the ladder to get away from the smell. Once we take our break, I join the other extras. “Did you catch that bit of realism?” “Yes!,” I say, in relief that I wasn’t alone. “I am not sure I would have signed up for this job if I had known the Director was going to add odors to the set.” Everyone chuckled, and I felt emboldened to ask if anyone else was going to the MEDIA event later. I have been flooded with insecurity ever since deciding to go undercover for this job, but so far so good.
