"I was dressed as a senator from an alien planet, standing in front of a green screen with a dozen digital cameras pointing at me, shouting a couple of words of dialogue and gesturing wildly, as instructed. I called my kids that night and told them that Dad was going to be in the movie. Of course, when the film was released, I was a microscopic, unrecognizable dot waaaaay in the background of a single scene. So much for stardom."
―Rome Hartman[1]
