Miami in L.A.

I got to work as an extra this week on CSI:Miami which is shot at a studio in Manhattan Beach - about 30 miles south of L.A. It was good fun - I got to play both a prison guard and a Miami-Dade cop, roaming the halls of the Police Department. The set was nice, but cold - and the days were long, which is good because I can use the money! Oh, and traffic is great when you are driving at 4:30 a.m. - of course, I had to wait about 10 seconds for the coyote to walk out of the middle of the road as I left my driveway. Ahh, L.A.: never a dull moment, even in the wee hours of the morning...
