In one of the opening scenes, the character of Holly (played by Yasmine Bleeth) was walking down a path towards the restaurant, and he passes behind her on his skateboard.

The first appearance in the movie was actually by my cousin, Chris. He turned out to be a very friendly guy, and spent some time chatting with us. On the crew was Glenn Kulka, former professional football player who was in charge of security on the set. This would be where we would hang out for the 2 days of filming when we weren’t needed.ĭuring our waiting time, we sat around reading books, skateboarding, chatting with other extras, anything to pass the time. We were directed to a garden next to the restaurant where we could set up our lawn chairs. There wasn’t a lot of extras, only about 10-15. We showed up early in the morning, around 8am, and checked in. This scenic restaurant would be the first filming location involving extras. Sitting along the shore of the famous Rideau Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the Canal Ritz. We were asked if we could be free for 5 days, and of course we said yes! That began a weeklong adventure and my first exposure to the film industry. His sister was actually in charge of casting, and she wanted some more teenagers as extras in the film.

I sent my application and sadly didn’t hear back.Ībout a week before Undercover Angel started filming, a family friend called our house.

The film was looking for extras, and they were asking people to apply. In the summer of 1998, there was an article in the Ottawa Citizen announcing that a big Hollywood movie would be filming in Ottawa. That’s ok, but the movie is special to me, since I was in it! So why am I bothering to write about it? It doesn’t seem like a film many people would be searching for. Oh, you haven’t seen the 1999 romantic comedy Undercover Angel? Don’t worry, no one has! I believe it had a very limited theatrical release and then essentially went straight-to-video.
