Gian in Action

I was roaming the Talent and TV/Film sections on Craigslist. I came across a post with the title reading “Overweight Actor Needed”, my curiosity got the best of me. The post was later flagged and removed, so I could not link the post for all to check out. I did save the details for a show I was doing that week and my reply to their post.

OVERWEIGHT ACTOR NEEDED:

Looking for Overweight actor for poolside party scene with hot girls. Must be at least 300 + pounds and comfortable with being nearly naked on camera (will be wearing a speedo). All Ethnicities apply the bigger and grosser the better! This will be for a hilarious comedy about Frat guys written by Frat guys (us). There is no pay but LOTS of FOOD and of course you will be invited to the screening of the movie at our Frat house! Chime in Fatties!

My Response:

To Whom it may concern…

My name is Giovanni and I’m so lucky I caught this before getting my gastric bypass surgery done. I’m super comfortable wearing speedos if you guys can find me a speedo that can fit me. You stated that you need someone at least 300+ pounds but do you have a maximum limit on how much one can weigh? I weigh a little over 648lbs and bed ridden. I would need to know the exact time and date of the shooting, so I can coordinate the truck picking me up and the crew of 6 people helping move onto the truck bed. I was so happy you said you had LOTS OF FOOD because not only will I be eating most of it, my crew will also need to eat as well. (if you need extras they can do that too!)

I’m super excited to be working with your movie crew and of course giving me the chance to see a woman again! Here’s to making movies!!!

Also extra note: Does your location have a loading zone to easily drop me off? If not I can get a crane and load me in like a grand piano (I have done it before)

I did not get an email back…so I will not be in this movie
