I emailed Froggy as soon as I saw Mr. Shatner's schedule and asked if there was any way he could be convinced to add another day, or even move his shoot to way later in the day on Friday. I got a very nice response back in a few hours, and was told they wished it could be done, but that they were lucky he gave them as much time as he did. I guess we really are at the mercy of the actors on this. I mean, when William Shatner or Leonard Nimoy says "Jump!", everybody answers "How high?" There is no negotiating. **sigh**

Of course, as a consolation, I was really looking forward to getting shot with Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell, as I adore both of them. Now he has canceled. **bangs head on desk**
