Extra on the set of THE PATRIOT

Rating: 7/10 (3 January 2015)

I was a extra on the set of the Mel Gibson film "THE PATRIOT"
It was a very interesting experience. The scene I am in is only 10 minutes into the film. Mel and his family from the film where in Charleston, SC and I was in the group burning the dummy of King George the 3rd in from of a court house.
Mel Gibson was nice to the extras on the set. Heath Ledger on the other hand was not.
I was asked to be in the court house seen where they where talking about war but I was sick at that time with a 103.7 degree temperature and had to stay home and take ice baths to keep my temperature down.
Over all .... it was a amazing experience.
