Technically, Christopher Clark was a background performer on a current episode of “And Just Like That…,” however he doesn’t thoughts when you refer to him as “the extra extra.”
That’s as a result of the actor – who’s a superfan of the HBO Max sequence and the unique that spurred it, “Sex and the City” – is getting tons of on-line love thanks to his determination to go huge and never go dwelling together with his efficiency. (HBO Max and NCS are owned by the similar father or mother firm.) He couldn’t be extra delighted about it.
“It’s funny because we shot this a year ago,” he informed NCS in an interview on Thursday. “And I’ve had the pleasure of working on this show a few times and it is always a dream.”
Clark seems in the ultimate scene of Season 3, episode 9 of “And Just Like That…,” titled “Present Tense,” by which Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) meets together with her beloved girlfriends at a busy bar-restaurant after an intense interplay with Aidan Shaw (John Corbett).
A clip focusing on Clark in the scene, posted to Instagram on Wednesday, was captioned ”The Meryl Streep of background actors steps into her gentle” and co-shared by influential “Sex and the City”-focused social media account @everyoutfitonsatc.
The publish, which options Clark appearing head to toe, has already garnered over 20,000 likes.
“This character needs to keep popping up at bars and restaurants the girls frequent,” one particular person wrote on the Instagram publish. “Coincidentally.”
The official social media account for HBO Max commented, “I couldn’t help but wonder: Did I just see a star be born?” (HBO declined to remark additional for this story when contacted.)
Some even lip learn what Clark was saying throughout the scene, particularly having fun with his telling one other background actor, “You’re bad! You’re so bad!”
Ordinarily, background actors should not supposed to audibly converse in such scenes, and are as an alternative instructed to pantomime, however these current for that specific shoot have been made conscious that this one would have a voice over so the actors have been free to do and say what they wished so long as they stayed in character. The scene was finally overlaid with Parker’s traces together with a moody soundtrack courtesy of Taylor Swift (the monitor is “How Did It End?” off her most up-to-date album).
“At one point they said, ‘Big events have just happened in the show and the girls are getting together,’ but I had no idea there’d be this sad Taylor Swift song and it’d be this emotional moment,” Clark mentioned. “So I’m just there sitting perched at the end of the bar, kiki-ing, having the time of my life.”
If he seems to be acquainted to viewers of the present, that’s as a result of Clark, who works as a realtor in his day job, has not solely been in a few “And Just Like That…” episodes, but in addition in the feature-length 2010 movie “Sex and the City 2.”
On “And Just Like That…,” he’s repeatedly popped up in the similar room with Carrie, Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Lisa Todd Wexley (Nicole Ari Parker) and was a cater waiter in a scene in Charlotte’s dwelling.
The characters now really feel like household to him.
“In my own (delusional) mind I am there with them because these characters mean so, so much to me,” mentioned Clark, whose late canine was named Bradshaw for Parker’s character and whose present pup, Truman Jones, is known as in honor of legacy “Sex and the City” character Samantha Jones played by Kim Cattrall.
Understandably, Clark wouldn’t be sad if this sudden star flip led to extra work.
Commentors urged that they might take pleasure in seeing him in a spinoff of some sort, and he has some concepts. Since the character Seema Patel performed by Sarita Choudhury is a realtor on the present and Clark is one in actual life, he envisions being a part of her storyline.
“Maybe we have a falling out, but the girls take my side,” he urged by means of some TV-ready drama.
Until then, Clark hopes to maintain engaged on the present and watching episodes with a Cosmopolitan cocktail in hand and his beloved pup at his facet.
