Zisk said “no such insults were hurled.” He also added that Rose Locke “improperly cast the extras.”
He then shared that he wanted extras who were in the 25-35 year old range for a “hip” bar scene. He ended up using the actors who were hired and said, “They were polite and did their jobs.”
Then, Zisk said he had a conversation with Rose, apparently telling her he wanted to see headshots of the extras going forward. Rose apparently responded, “I don’t work that way.” Zisk then said he responded, “That’s the way I work and everyone I know works that way in extras casting.” Rose then apparently said “okay,” but later quit.
As for Sylvester wanting “pretty girls” on set, Zisk added that Sylvester‘s wife Jennifer Flavin was with them during filming.
