Andre Campbell - Filmmaker - Part 2 of 3

My first acting job was on a show called “Infinity Factory” back in New York. In New York I got into doing magic and magic shows for kids and stuff like that so I became a street magician and I could handle a deck of cards. I could do flourishes. I learned how to do that stuff and one hand cuts and stuff like that. They used my hands for Eddie Murphy in one of his movies. Basically I was doing what they call insert work. They would put me in the same outfit. I did Chi McBride who is a big guy and they would put a pillow in the suit. When they shot me they would only shoot me from the hands down. I was able to make a significant amount of income and cover my insurance through union extra, stand-in, as well as this kind of work.
