“Then I studied at the Moscow Arts Theater for two years, and did a year at the
National in London. I’m currently doing a midnight production of Waiting for Godot here in L.A.” says one of the auditioners.

“And are you in the union?” asks Bowfinger.

“Yes. Yes, I am,” replies the auditioner.

SMASH CUT to auditioner being shoved out the door.

Next, we meet JIF, who wears thick glasses and braces.

“Currently, I’m packing fries at the Burger King on Douglas,” says Jif.

“Do you have any experience in motion pictures?” asks Bowfinger.

“Oh, yeah. Quite a bit, actually,” says Jif. “Quite a bit of experience. I’m an active renter at Blockbuster, and I attend the Film Du Cinema as much as possible. Weekly, biweekly, inter-week, intermediately.”

“Would you be willing to cut your hair?” asks Bowfinger.

“Yes, but it’s usually better if someone else does it,” says Jif. “I’ve had a few…  accidents.”
