There was a group of fans of a detective show who cast a group of kindergarteners as the hard - boiled detectives. They filmed the kids trying to solve 'mysteries' around the playground like finding a missing teddy bear. The kids' cute and innocent ways of trying to be tough detectives made for a really funny and heartwarming fan casting story. It was a great example of how fans can take a concept and turn it into something completely different and hilarious.
In my fan casting adventures, I came across the idea of casting a famous pop star, who is known for her bubbly and glamorous image, as a post - apocalyptic survivor in a dystopian movie. The thought of her running around in rags, with dirt on her face, and fighting off zombies while still trying to maintain her perfect hair was side - splitting. It made me realize how fun and creative fan casting can be.
The most creative one I've heard was a fan who made a life - size Iron Throne out of old car parts. It was really a work of art, with every detail carefully crafted to resemble the real thing from the show.
A fan story that stands out is of a Harry Potter fan who built a replica of Hogwarts in his backyard. He used all kinds of materials and it was really detailed. It was his way of showing his love for the series.
I once heard a story where a belly button was a time - travel device. A scientist accidentally activates his belly button's time - traveling ability while conducting an experiment. He travels back to the dinosaur age and has to figure out how to get back to his own time while avoiding being eaten by dinosaurs.
A casting director once held auditions in a very small and cramped space. There was no proper ventilation, and it was extremely hot. The actors were sweating profusely during their auditions, which was not only uncomfortable but also affected their performance. It was really inconsiderate of the casting director.
A dyslexic student once read 'library' as 'librbary' in class while reading aloud. Everyone had a good laugh. It was just a simple mistake but quite funny.
I heard about a hooker who mistook a priest for a regular client. She started her usual pitch and the poor priest was so flustered. He just started praying out loud, which made the hooker realize her mistake and run away in embarrassment.
I heard about a girl who thought her boyfriend was going to propose on Valentine's Day. She got all dressed up and was waiting for a romantic dinner. But instead, he broke up with her right after the appetizer, saying he wanted to be single to focus on his career. The funny thing was she was so stunned that she just started laughing uncontrollably. Later she realized it was better this way.
I heard a story where a CNA was pushing a patient in a wheelchair to the garden. Along the way, a squirrel ran in front of them and the patient started making squirrel noises to try and communicate with it. The CNA was trying so hard not to laugh. Another story was about a CNA who tried to sing a lullaby to a patient to help them sleep but ended up forgetting the words and making up the silliest lyrics.
There was a mailman in a small town. One day, he was delivering a large package and tripped on a small stone. The package went flying and landed in a bush. As he was trying to retrieve it, his hat got caught on a branch. He looked so silly trying to free himself while still holding the package. The people on the street couldn't stop laughing.
