Is that guy in Indiana Jones a stand-in?

last January I was chosen to be one of the audience participants. And yes, there are people (me) that are VERY weird

It was great fun, but believe me, only true "ham bones" jump up and down enough to get chosen.

luvsTink, what did you have to do? I had to giggle.

I had to pretend that a large boulder was about to crash down on my head, it was pretty fun!

OK, on our first trip we had read to get picked you have to jump up and waving insanely the MINUTE the lady says she needs some volunteers.

DH did it, and he was the first one chosen. It helped that we were down front and center, I think.

He and two women did the "screamers" bit off the cuff and then were led backstage. No coaching was given. Just costuming and signing a waiver of liability. You end up dead, too bad

The guy that did the death scene was NOT the CM who is picked last in the loud shirt and who cannot follow directions.

He was a very large fellow, and the director told him to "die softly" because the concrete was very expensive to replace.

He did a wonderful job and I have always wondered if he was part of the show or just very good at doing a very long, drawn out, and comical death scene.

Since they exposed the stunt guy, and not our "death scene" guy, I figured he was just a really good audience member. They may have coached only him of the bunch.

Just saw this show. The guy in the pink shirt was not the one they asked to do the fake death.

Guy (or gal) who gets shot - NOT A RINGER
Guy who gets punched - A RINGER

I know who you're talking about. It is way before they go back stage and get into costume. And it isn't the loud shirt guy. In the very begining they bring up about 4 people one being the ringer with the shirt. It is a completely different guy that takes the fake bullet. He stumbles and writhes in pain acting like he's dying. The last time I went, and after the show, I saw the bullet guy in front of me in line for TOT and then he was at a table right next to me at the Brown Derby. I think it is just an overacting person starved for attention but not a ringer.

So it is really someone from the audience that plays the deathscene?
It must be, otherwise that person wouldn't be in line for ToT I think.
That's why we really like going to WDW, here in Europe it isn't likely to get someone acting so strange in front of an audience

Yes, it is someone from the audience. You'd be surprised at what we American's will do for a laugh!!

They must have changed it up a bit, then. Our "death scene" guy was already in his turban and costume, along with everyone else, and this is happening after the "indoor" Indy scene with the big rock. While he was doing the death thing, they were tearing down the indoor set.
