Erin's Day as an Extra
written by Erin Stritch
On the last day of filming, I talked mostly to Kate Bosworth (Bella Banks). I realized more than ever, how much she gave up to follow her dreams. She missed her prom at school to film the show. She said the "Cinderbella" episode felt like her own prom. I joked about my prom and she said I should've taken her, and then all of the rumors would've started. When you meet her, it feels like you've known her forever. That was the day I got to be an extra was in a scene between the characters of Bella and Scout at Friendly's. I got my picture taken with Ian Somerhalder (Hamilton). He calls everybody, "Honey, baby, or sweetie pie" and squeezes you so tight in the picture. I discussed college plans with Mark and jobs with Jeff (Rodney's stand-in and also was Officer Ben Whitmore in the episode "Gone"). Rodney (Will) was there too. We just talked about his radio interview from that morning on the local station as we waited for the crew to film the next shot. It was a day I'll never forget.
