James was an actor. He loved to act in movies and television shows like thieving, mystery stories and some others. One day, he was asked to act in a show that involved a thieving criminal that was on the lookout for woman carrying expensive handbags.

So it was set. That Saturday morning, the cast and the crew went to the airport and prepared for the filming. "Ready, action!" said the director. The scene began with Alice as the old lady walking along the arrival hall. At that point, James rushed forward, snatched the old lady's bag and ran away. "Stop thief!" shouted the old lady as she chased after James.

Just then, a man making his way to the exit, heard the commotion and looked in that direction. The first thing he saw was a woman chasing a man apparently holding her handbag. He did not notice the cameras as they were in a corner of the hall. He rushed towards James and pinned him to the floor. Soon he became aware of laughter all around him. Instinctively, he turned around and was shocked to see cameras shoved in his face.

Straight away he realised what was happening and feeling embarrassed, he turned to leave the hall when the director came up to him and asked "Would you like to work in our company as an actor?" The man replied without much hesitation "Sure, when do we start?" "How about now?" said the director.

The filming then continued without any major interruptions.
