On-Set Behavior That Gets You Remembered

✅ Be the first to understand instructions — listen carefully, don't ask the AD to repeat
✅ Be consistent across takes — deliver the same quality in take 1 and take 15
✅ Stay in character between takes — don't check your phone or chat
✅ Accept direction gracefully — "Thank you, I'll try that" — never defend your choice
✅ Leave a clean impression — thank the team at wrap. A brief, genuine "merci" stays in memory
