What?! I don't look old enough?

So, I auditioned for this movie being filmed in my area. As I sat in my chair among all the young beautiful people, I couldn't help get the sense that maybe I was a little "old" to be auditioning for this play. Which really, sucks, because as you all know, I am eternally young! So moving forward, it came time for me to audition for real (as opposed to 'pretending' to audition, ah the joys of adrenaline! I walked up and introduced myself, looking at a panel of faces, I couldn't tell if they were about to crack up laughing, giving me that "I'm trying to keep a straight face" face, I started to question why I even came. But alas, my ego, kept me standing there with a script in my hand and a camera and light shining in my face. It's funny when you get to a point where you are trying so hard to look like you know what you are doing, but your confidence slides out the back door, you realize what if feels like to do something for the first time (all over again).
They gave me a couple of parts to read, the old medical examiner, the old mother, the old dispatcher, etc, I, of course, seeing the trend jokingly asked, "Do you want me to read for the young, attractive, women who dies in the first 15 min of the film?" ha,ha, he....he....little snicker...C'mon People! It was a joke!
After I read, I got the "head nods, and handshakes" and "thanks for (making us laugh, it made our day) coming in and auditioning"
Went home, shook my head and decided that I would stick to writing and directing my own little theater.
Fast forward, a day later, (I guess not that fast, but it felt like a long time) they called me. Here is the conversation:
Them: So we thought we might have a part for you.
Me: Really? Cool!
Them: Um, yeah. Well we think you would be great in the "dispatcher" role.
Me: Really? Wow, that sounds like a lot of fun!
Them: Yeah, but we have to make you look a little different, are you ok with that?
Me: As long as you don't give me facial hair, no teeth, and make me say "ya-all" I should be ok.
Them: Well, it's actually your age
Me: (thinking to myself..I knew it, I look too old for the part, damn!) Really?
Them: You look to young, we have to make you look like your 40.
Me: HAHAHAHA
Them: No really
Me: HAHAHAHAHA.....really? You do know that I am 40 right?
Them: Well, you need some gray hair, some wrinkles, you know.
Me: You just so totally made my day!
Them: (silence) Great, ok then, we will contact you later with a script.
And the kicker (ok I have to think of a better word) is that I will get paid for it! Yeah for me.
I'm sure this experience will provide me with much useful blog fodder, I will keep ya'all updated.
