I think one gander at Sean McNamara's 'rotten tomatoes' page gives a clear picture of his genious.

Casting an ex-wife of Jim Carrey and one of the drunken Arquette clan into a civil war drama is just another of his 'winning' combination with gave 'field of lost shoes' a 40% rating. And people wondered who would fill Kubrick'shoes.

Meade has recently said he is looking into the "Dinner Theatre" possibilities, also Summer playhouse genre to give his acting career a "kick start". At least those possibilities are not inundated with your Homosexual and Lesbian or Transexual types, they seem to be more normal, his is purported to have said.

First, are you living in the 1970's? Let me give you some history form an old timer. The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and The Screen Extra Guild (SEG) merged in 1982. Since then, there has been no such distinction as a "Featured Extra” in Theatrical or Television production. “Featured Extra” was a contract term under the decades defunct old SEG Contract (pre 1982). In that contract, there were different levels of extra work, with different pay rates for each.

First was "General Extra" which was simply a background player.

The next level up was "Featured Extra," which was an extra who appeared in a recognizable close-up for at least 3 seconds.

And then there was "Silent Bit," which was an extra who performed an action that was integral to the scene, but without dialogue.

However, after SEG folded into SAG in 1982, in order to streamline the process, as well as to be concise and consistent, the above contract definitions became nonexistent, and the previous SEG distinctions and pay levels between the different levels of background players were no longer acknowledged.

Today SAG uses the following terms for background players in the TV/Theatrical Contract:

General Background - Person of atmospheric business which includes the normal actions, gestures and facial expressions of the Background Actor’s assignment.

Special Ability Background Actor - Background Actor specifically called and assigned to perform work requiring special skills such as tennis, golf, choreographed social dancing (including square dancing), swimming, skating, riding animals, driving livestock, non-professional singing (in groups of 16 or less), mouthing to playback in groups of 16 or less, professional or organized athletic sports (including officiating and running), amputees, driving which requires a special skill and a special license (such as truck driving but not cab driving), motorcycle driving, insert work, and practical card dealing.

Stand-In - Background Actor used as a substitute for another actor for purposes of focusing shots, setting lights, etc., but is not actually photographed. Stand-Ins may also be used as general background.

Photographic Double - Background Actor who is actually photographed as a substitute for another actor. A General Background Actor who is required to do photographic doubling shall receive the Special Ability rate.

Omnies - Any speech sounds used as general background noise rather than for its meaning. Atmospheric words such as indistinguishable background chatter in a party or restaurant scene.

As you can see, there is no distinction between general crowd extras, and extras who appear in close-up or perform silent bits anymore.

However, occasionally a General Extra will be upgraded to a Principal Contact, if they are given a scripted line of dialogue to say - and sometimes (especially in commercials) if they are recognizable in a close-up. But, this is at the discretion of the producer, and is negotiated between SAG and the producers.

But, once that General Extra is upgraded to Principal, they then become a "Featured Principal." Until then, they are considered General Background. This person had no lines, and had no special ability (or special distinction), in his performance in the film, therefore, he is General Background. General Backgrounds do not get credits.

Hope this clears things up!

But we did see Meade up close and personal for at least 5 seconds or more in the film- Doesn't that make him a featured extra? His face while on the ground is recozgnizeable, and I'd recognize those curves anywhere.

Currently, there is no category defined as "Featured Extra" by SAG, according to the earlier poster who appears to have a lot of knowledge on this issue. Meade's role didn't fit in any other Extra category, as defined by SAG, and expalined by by the actor, and Meade didn't have a line. Therefore, Meade's role could only be defined as "General Background Extra." With the end result of Meade not getting in the credits, it appears the actor knows the reasoning behind that decision, and the actor explained the SAG policy behind it. Thank you, actor!

Let's stop with this "Featured Extra" nonsense. Just because Meade got some close up camera time, shouldn't distinguish him from all the other extras.

Regardless of all that mumble jumble posted above on "who went where and who did this or that" Meade stood out, he had a certain "presence", that sometimes happened. The program "happy days" was a vehicle designed for Ron Howard originally, he was the star, what happened was Fonzie proved to be more charismatic. The same situation applies to Meade's first big screen appearance, he stole the ending (not the entire movie mind you), you came away thinking to yourself: " that dead Yankee in the battle ground scene was really a good shot", "I wonder who played him?"

We are talking about a film that was a box-office and critical flop.
Ain't nobody is asking themselves anything while watching that movie except perhaps "When will this be over"?

I wouldn't be surprised if some of the extras credited were asking to get their names stricken off the film.

Meade should have not been wearing a hat in his famous death scene, the hat obviously should have fallen off. Other then that his acting was superb! I say "Bravo" Meade for pulling it off and making it look so authentic, Meade obviously is an actor who can take great direction. In acting, as in life, it is the little things that mean so much, everything in that scene is perfectly placed, "touche" Meade for proofing that critics wrong and showing what a multitalented individual you are.

Meade was chosen for that scene because of his boyish good looks, a actor who looked say like Miz or even eesh or even liz would not have garnered any emotion from the viewing audience. Meade caused many a dry eye to flow with tears. He made the emotional statement that war is hell just by lying in the muck.

"Many a dry eye to flow with tears" assumes many people saw that turkey.

Also, NEWS FLASH Eesh and Liz haven't spent the last 20 years pursuing a career in the entertainment industry nor put 'actor' on their resume.

Meade went through puberty 25 years ago and has never tried to have sex with women. Is it really realistic to call him heterosexual?

Exactly, and unless Meade has more congenital issues than he has mentioned, he went through puberty around the age of 13.

Obviously, if you like Meade's music, reality isn't your strong suit.

that's discrimination against people who are either deaf,dumb or blind. Never be allowed.

I read somewhere Meade is going to replace Bruce Willis in the Die Hard series. I wonder if he will shave his head

Aronofsky directed "The Wrestler". It comes out that he was going to offer Meade the title role in "The Whale". Meade spent over ten years gaining weight to prepare for that role. Aronofsky then handed that part to that flash in the pan Brendan Frase

The entertainment industry is soulless. Meade should be happy, he was a complete failure in it.

It was a pleasure to work with Meade. I wish he would call me.
