To exspensive to fly them to LA :) but it gets better did you read some of the rules, ie .....

That sounds pretty standard. They'd be pretty foolish to promise your walk-on couldn't be cut. What if you were awful, annoying, distracting? What if they simply needed to cut for time (they always do)? They're not promising an acting role, just a chance to be an extra (with the added bonus of airfare and hotel, which most extras, I'm pretty sure, don't get).

Although, one wonders what a prize of equal or greater value would be, since, aside from hotel cost and airfare, the value of being an extra on "Angel" is sort of a subjective thing, isn't it?

Canadians are always excluded from the coolest contests. Can you guys just, y'know, take us over already, but politely? Let us keep stuff like our superior health care system and our lower ratio of shooting deaths to guns owned (yeah, I just saw Bowling For Columbine, so this is apparently a fact, not a commentary of mine on gun laws/attitudes)

How long a process does the application for citizenship generally take?
