Standing outside the Provo Church Studios. We took this shot as we left Friday night.

Ron Mitchell (from the Yellow Cast of the Nauvoo Pageant. We are the only two from the cast. Ron still has his yellow teeth!

This is the tent were all the "Extras" meet before they go to wardrobe. We signed contracts and filled out forms to get our huge $75 for the day!

This is one of the wardrobe ladies. The helmet behind her was used in the Seminary Film on the Book of Mormon.

I felt funny changing into "mobber" clothes in front of the Brethren! I thought it strange that we had to show our Temple Recommend to be a mobber?

Waiting for Make-up... and I use the term loosely since it consisted mostly of dirt!

Ron and I prepare to storm the jail

Darkened faces in preparation for Carthage Grays Scene

Ron Mitchell and I show our new mobber threads. I can't say I am in love with my first hat shown above.

A few of the motley crew, all members. I wonder how we all got temple recommends?

Adam (L) had blue eyes. He had a long pony-tail. He is in a stage production and works in tele-marketing.

Although a mobber, they used his hands as the Savior's hands in the movie.

They put this yellow "gunk" on our teeth to look like "mobber" type dental care. It was like having crayon on your teeth. Yuck!

Debbie Dawson - Craft Services (provided food & snacks each day)

Beau was one of the "Extras" handlers. He is interning here. We kidded him because is unpaid.

Carthage Stairs set that we stormed (see left) as Carthage Grays trying to burst through the door.

Me on the Left as we wait between takes... NO, I didn't smile during the filming!

Motley crew if I ever saw one. Guy on Right had a great beard.

This guy was huge. He is in a bishopric but able to keep the beard.

"Carthage Grays" 5 with our "Extra Coordinator"

My partner in the first scene. He had an awsome snarl. Perfect "Redneck" mobber look.

The main movie camera on a 4 wheeler. This is what my camera wants to be when it grows up.

Back view of the camera crew as we walked up to the set for the Carthage shot.

Actually there was only a big blue screen instead of the jail.

While we waited I got to show off my meanest look with a cool rifle. I came out of a tent next to the jail.

This is the model of the jail that will be super-imposed on the blue screen.

These guys were important (Joseph's son on L) because they got a cool cart ride... We walked.

Preparing for the "establishing" scene at the Carthage jail

Lost Ron to the "Extra" waiting game. Mobbers need sleep too! Even fell asleep in his hat.

Waiting for "Rolling... Action... Cut"

Notice the blue screen behind the set. It was in the shape of the jail.

Another view of the camp area.

Hurry-up and Wait... What a lot of us did while waiting.

Lost another one. This guy was a returned Missionary and started the beard a month ago.

This guy was from Hawaii, now in SLC. Did a lot of extra work. I think his name was Bob Mcgregor?

Director Gary Cook and Film Director T.C. Christensen discussing our conspiracy scene

Became "featured extra" in this scene as we conspire against Joseph in Kirtland. Very cool experience. Funny though, I started without a hat... The

They pay us AND feed us. what a deal. The "Principal" cast & crew ate first, then the Extras

Lunch Line self picture taking trick. Max Weiss (L) Ron Mitchell & me

Same "Usual Suspects" with a huge cow behind us. Why? Don't ask.

Matt Bellows played two parts: A roudy Irishman and our conspiracy leader (Left)

Roger Merrill at lunch. Started with only a goatee, but he got the rest of the beard here

Roger's family also owns
Playmill Theatre in West Yellowstone

Townspeople that came for a scene that Ron will be in. They are in the lunch line here

Ron Mitchell on set as a Temple Builder...got to do both bad and good guy! (For some STRANGE reason, they only cast me as a ruffian... go figure.

Temple Builders: Chuck Baker, Burke Roney, Ron Mitchell & Gordon Cummings. Note, all were also Nauvoo Pageant Cast Memebers. (Gordon,Green Cast)

Checking in to be "Walla" people, which means background group sounds, etc.

Director Gary Cook taking a question

Let the Walla-Walla begin! These are all the guys that did the group sounds

Ready to Walla

These two guys were mobsters from the previous day of filming.

Remember this guy? He was my partner by the tent above.

This guy used to do the play by play for BYU Volleyball. From Hawaii, but also of Scottish descent. Gave him a ride to SLC after the session.

Waiting in between sound takes

The guy on the left was in the Nauvoo Pageant. John was under the stage managing the scenes.
