Extras: The unsung heroes of the movie business. It's great to see stars like Colin Firth do their thing, but with no crowd of cheering Brits to whom he'd deliver his speech, where would the king be?
It's not uncommon for people to make a living showing up in the background of films, and many of them are aspiring actors just hoping to get a leg up in order to get the exposure they feel they deserve. Now, the magic of YouTube has given one such thespian his moment in the sun.
His name is Jesse Heiman, and if that name doesn't ring a bell, well, you're not alone in your ignorance. But Heiman is EVERYWHERE.
He's been doing this extra thing since 2001's "American Pie 2" (see him as "Trombone Player in the Bus"), according to the Daily Mail, and has since shared the screen with luminaries like Leonardo DiCaprio and Kirsten Dunst in films like "Catch Me If You Can," "Spider-Man," "Old School" and "The Social Network." And that's not even counting his TV work. Watch the clip now and educate yourself on the man who maybe, just maybe, is running the entire movie business from the inside.
