I was in the scene as one of the extras. You're right. Two of them fainted from the heat.

Hmm. For myself it's definitely possible...I was an anonymous soldier with no lines and a few seconds of screentime lol. Olivia got banished from the concubine group due to (watch the show to find out) but it may be possible with a creative enough reason ...and Leifennie...well she definitely can't come back (you'll find out why when you watch lol)

Wow that was random. Can we stick on topic to Rampart please? :P (But if anything I figure glorifying BBQ in popular culture can only help increase sales of propane/charcoal).

Speaking on behalf of myself...I wish I had sex scenes to be in, but noo, I was the scene in Episode 3 with hundreds of Chinese soldiers, where Jia Sidao killed the champion.

The weather was really really hot. We started early morning and by mid afternoon it was absolutely burning. The bigger sized guys got the more elaborate 'general' costumes, at first I was a little jealous but given the weather I knew I would've melted in it. We were given water and biscuits between takes, but still two extras fainted from the heat (try standing straight with weapons for hours under the hot sun), and after that Dan Minahan mentioned that whoever couldn't take it anymore, should 'stand down'.

That's awesome. Bet you can't wait for Season 2 as much as me :)
