Paige did not recognize the names. She had never heard of Wadiya or Aladeen. She parked her bike. She walked over to a young protester. The protester said the names weren't real. He said he wasn't a real protester. It wasn't a real protest. The "protest" was part of a new movie. He was an extra. He said extras were paid $100 per gig. A gig could last as little as an hour or as long as a day. "I've been here since 3 a.m. They said we might be here until 10 p.m. I'll get $85. My agent will get $15," he said. "But I don't mind. I heard that Tom Hanks started out this way."
