Just as well. "Andersonville" is a dreadfully bad movie.

Some of the re-enactors I spoke to had been in "Gettysburg" and a few had been in "Glory" also.

Funny thing about being a extra on that movie. They asked us to show up in dark blue trousers and black shirt and boots, which I duly did. Some people showed up in blue jeans (which they specifically asked that you not do) and those people got the full costumes. All I got was a broad brimmed hat one day. Another day I got a calvary jacket and kepi. They would announce before almost every shot: "please remove modern looking glasses and any wristwatches."
