I was an extra in "Andersonville", which I understand will be offered as a freebie on the G&G DVD set. I was in several scenes that I thought would be surely in the final cut, including a group of us right behind the primary actors. That scene was in the movie, but your humble narrator was cropped out. One of the re-enactors in our little group had the complete Union army uniform with a checked shirt and everything and full set of whiskers. Alack and alas, he tended to a corpulence that didn't exactly suggest a half starved POW and was asked to step aside.

Cool. That was filmed about 3 miles from the farm where I grew up. Used to shoot some trap across the field the prison was built. That whole area is being carved up for subdivisions now.
