Is it real or is it fake? The film and TV industry's job is to entertain you with productions that look as real as possible. And in order to do that, they have to create reality with a lot of fake things. In other words, nothing is filmed without creating the right set, whether it's built from scratch or discovered by a location scout and turned into something that it isn't really. Since acting is pretending you're someone you're not, it's only logical that you're doing this in an environment that is also pretending to be something it's not. There's lots of fakery going on, and it's half the fun of doing this work because many times it even fools the best of us.
Here are some stories of non-real situations I've been in as well as what jobs I've done recently and how each exemplifies this fake vs. real concept. I vividly remember my first day on set, spending 10 hours on Ozark, only to get in my car and drive back into the real world, which was incredibly strange after being in this fake one all day. You get used to it. And, if you're like me, the excitement of discovering what fakeness you'll encounter on today's job never wears off. Here's to pretending all the way home and never letting it bore you. It's fascinating!
