Great to have just discovered this forum and engage with so many amazing actors and industry professionals! ☺️
I've been offered a small role in an upcoming show and am looking for some advice. I've read the script and it is an amazing project but the role I've been offered does include rear nudity from my character (I've read over the script and am happy with the inclusion of nudity in it to tell the story etc).
My character is playing a legal assistant and it will involve a scene in an office with me stood up and facing away from the camera wearing just a shirt and a pair of high heels. My co-star will be playing an elderly law firm partner. The scene starts with just my face and upper body showing reciting some legal policies which I incorrectly state and the off screen law partner angrily replies "no that's wrong!", the camera then pans out to show him sat down with me standing in front of him. He then proceeds to firmly slap my bare butt as a punishment for reciting wrongly. There is a knock at the door and my character hurriedly walks off screen.
I've never been involved in a role that involves nudity so it's something I am abit nervous about! I know the actor who has been cast as my co-star and he is such a kind and genuine man so I feel very comfortable in that sense. I suppose I'm a bit unsure about how the scene will be filmed, in terms of rehearsals, number of takes, people on set etc.
Also I'm a married mom of two so I have my personal life and family to think about, how would I go about discussing my potential role with my husband etc?
Apologies for the ramble! Any help or advice would be massively appreciated!! ☺️
Hi Laura
I would see if there is an intimacy co ordinator attached and speak to them and the director about who will be on set for the shoot.
Discuss how you would like to rehearse the scene and who you are comfortable having on set
If you feel you should speak to your husband/family about it then do.
Being as comfortable as possible will let you concentrate on the scene.
