Look closely -- who do you see? If you squint your eyes just a little, you'll see the hot red glasses of Ugly Betty! No joke ya'll, it's really America Ferrera, and her co-star buddies Becki Newton and Michael Urie.
Just a few days after arriving into NYC, my research fellow colleagues and I decided to walk around our Grad School's neighborhood to get to know the area. Low and behold, we're crossing the street and notice a group of people looking towards a small, narrow street. As we get closer, we see lights, cameras, and.... The Ugly Betty cast shooting a scene for the show!
I've always been hearing that there are lots of actors all around NYC, but, I didn't believe it until this experience. I wouldn't have thought that I'd feel so star struck, but as an Ugly Betty fan, I couldn't help but feel super excited and gitty.
Check out the pics below for the few shots I was able to take of Michael Urie and the back of Becki Newton. America Ferrera had to shoot another scene on her own, and I wasn't able to switch my major zoom lens in time to catch her. Oh well, maybe another time! Or, maybe I'll find a way to be an extra for another show!
OMG That is totally AWESOME! I am also a Ugly Betty fan so I would have been totally excited.
ReplyDeleteHaha... it would've been so much fun to see the cast with you, Omar! I can see us cause way too much noise and havoc!
