In April Warner Brothers was filming the movie Doc Holiday with Michael J. Fox in Micanopy and put out a call for local extras and my sister Beth responded for her son Zack who was nine years old at the time. Zack was actually filmed in the parade scene in downtown Micanopy where he had a one sentence line where he says, “Mommy I have to pee.” (Beth did not play his mother, another extra did). Although the scene was cut from the movie, Zack still received $430 for the part. During the signup process, Beth enrolled him the Actors Guild and as a result he has received a royalty dividend every year since then although in later years it has only been a few dollars.
