Stands_on-21: Sure. It was filmed at the Avalon theatre/nightclub last June. About 200-250 extras. I estimate 80% of the guys were actually gay (I’m straight). They provide us with a general idea of what to wear and then, once on set, they dressed us up a little bit more (or in some cases, dressed us down). A few guys would come in a couple of weeks before to get dressed in specific costumes. The guys on the stage were in pretty crazy outfits. They were like wearing gas mSks and stuff. I, personally enjoyed the first couple hours of filming because, as a married/straight guy, this was a whole new world to me. We started filming around 8:00 am and worked straight through til about 6:00 pm. Crazy considering the whole scene only lasted a couple of minutes. The opening scene (of Andrew walking through the dance floor) was literally like the last thing we filmed. We could pretty much could’ve stood/danced wherever we wanted (as long as we weren’t blocking any specific camera angles). I chose to stand at the bar with my empty glass. When shooting starts, they play the music for the first 15-20 seconds so guys get the beat/rhythm down, then they shut it off so they can hear/record the dialogue. Everyone has to keep dancing but AlSO remain absolutely quiet. Very interesting sight. Although we were downstairs, we could still easily hear the dialogue between Andrew and Versace (I dont know the actors names but everyone said Andrew was on Glee). I don’t get star struck but sometimes I’ll see an actor and there is just something different/special about them. This guy from Glee was real good. However, hands down, the best actor who I ever “worked” with was the blond dude from American Horror Story. He played Kai this season. I was part of the political rally when he gave his “Trump-like” speech. Dude was fucking on fire! He had an iPod on between takes and you could tell he was practicing his lines to himself. Fucking professional all the way (plus he seemed like a cool dude). On the Versace shoot, everyone was pretty pissed the last few hours cause we hadn’t got any breaks. Those who are Union (SAG) made BANK that day because of overtime and stuff.
