There's very little to actually uncover.
A job that may make you appear to be eg pizza guy/caretaker etc. What is the job?
For the group of people we're interested in, it is not their main job.
We're trying to identify one individual from that group.
It's nothing to do with royalty, or spying, cookery, gardening, lottery winners, bread, high-diving, sport or athletics, masons, rock n roll, magicians, parliament, sex offenders or sperm donors.

Clive takes a step in the right direction!
Theatrical understudies gets you a DGI +1
Now will someone come and put this question out of it's misery?

And I've got an early start tomorrow. Going to have to miss the night shift again, I'm afraid.

GT, you just caught me. Not making adverts. What's the job?

Voice over artist?

Nope. Be less specific.

I've got absolutely no idea.
Go to bed.

Oh that could be it.

hygienicdispenser Posted Feb 18, 2010
You've obviously both identified acting as the job, though nobody's specifically said it.
Clive & GT +3 each for acting.
Obviously there is something about the acting that our group is doing that is a bit different, and there's another 3 points for identifying that. It's not "Extras", though that's heading the right sort of way.
Goodnight.

Is being an Opera performer, acting?
Are they people who act in TV Ads?
Live Theatre performers or circus entertainers?

Is it something really daft like actors who play 1-3 are not covered by Equity? or have a separate union?

11pm here, night all
QI - It's the Windsor Swing! Let's Roll!
hygienicdispenser Posted Feb 19, 2010
I suppose opera is a sort of acting, but it's not that. Also not ads, and it's not live performance of any sort. Sorry Keith. Sleep well.

No Clive, nothing as complex as that. And the list of three roles is not exhaustive, it was just a sample. You can throw in Truck Driver and Minister if you wish.
