      Now you may think this is the moment I sold my soul to him. But no. That would come a half hour later.

      We're about to shoot, they're doing finishing touches, and I overhear someone whisper to him: Did you hear what they told Juliana? ("They" always means studio/network in these situations)

      GC: Did they ask her to lose weight? Other person: Yup. GC: And did she tell them to go fuck themselves? Other person: Yup. GC: Good for her.

      (Incidentally, when I do my scene right after with Juliana - WHO WAS LOVELY - and I see that she's prob a buck fifteen soaking wet, I start to seriously rethink my career choice)

      So both scenes go well, and I'm wrapped by 10. Hug from George, hug from Juliana. And as I'm leaving, I tell them: I'm actually testing for a pilot today. Juliana says: Hydrate (I'd been crying all morning). George says: Don't worry, you'll book it.

      Wait, jk, a coda: Every time in my career that I've been asked to lose weight, I hear George in my head: Tell them to go fuck themselves. And then, when I do: Good for her.
