John and the other background actors and stand-ins had been waiting in the holding area for hours, feeling restless and anxious. The confined space of the parked El train was starting to feel suffocating, and they all longed to be out on the set, even if it meant standing in the background of a scene.
As they waited, John caught sight of a familiar face among the crowd of actors. It was a girl he had known from a previous project, and they hadn’t spoken in over a year. As their eyes met, John felt a twinge of guilt and regret for the way things had ended between them. He had always hoped they could patch things up, and he wondered if there was a chance of that happening now.
The hours ticked by slowly, and the group of actors continued to wait in the cramped holding area. They chatted and gossiped, trying to pass the time as best they could. Some of them played cards, while others listened to music or caught up on their reading.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the director’s assistant came by to tell them that they were no longer needed for the scene. The group was disappointed, but also relieved to be able to stretch their legs and get some fresh air.
As they left the holding area and made their way back to the main part of the set, John couldn’t help but feel a sense of disappointment. He had been looking forward to this opportunity, and now it had been wasted. But he knew that this was the life of an actor – full of highs and lows, and he would just have to keep going until his big break came.
