Melanie Thompson is a powerhouse! She creates her own work and has learned so much from braving the trenches of Rough Days In Showbiz. She tells plenty of stories, one about a gross film location where the owner’s didn’t clean anywhere or anything before the crew arrived (ANYWHERE or ANYTHING), another about a gung-ho but delusional film director who made his cast members “rough it” during the production process with bad hours and close living quarters…only to never come out with the film itself, and another about her early days as an actress where she attended a Craig’s List casting call for the promise of an IMDB credit…only to find out there were painful hours and formidable circumstances in store. Justin also tells a Rough Day In Showbiz story about a seemingly unending web series audition process complete with a casting director dressed like Bret Michaels, a snooty/pretentious director, and a very sad bowl of Panera Bread soup to top it all off.
