How to Expand Your Horizons

Missy and I took a gun safety course when we lived in Florida, because we lived in Florida.

They started us off with a trainer where you fired a fake gun at a big projection screen showing actors jump out from behind things menacingly. Going out for that gig must be an unpleasant conversation with your agent.

“We have a client who’s looking for performers with a certain ineffable something; an inherent shootability. Someone audiences take one look at and immediately want to kill. I think you’re perfect for it!”

Note from Missy: I remember that the instructors humored me when I wanted to try shooting the fake gun sideways just to see if it worked like in the movies, and were not particularly pleased that I was able to hit the target.
