When he retires from his sales career April 30, Dale Abbot, 61, plans to get a few head shots, make a trip to Central Casting in Burbank, then see if he can land a part as an extra on TV or in a movie.
"I had an uncle in show business, so it's been in my family in one form or another," the Thousand Oaks resident said. "I was always kind of enamored with that aspect -- having a relative in the business."
Judging from the estimated 200 people who turned up for a "Showbiz After 60" presentation recently, plenty of seniors are eager to unleash their inner thespians.
The seminar, aimed at showing seniors how to break into TV, movies and the stage, was scheduled to take place at a senior-living facility in Thousand Oaks called The Reserve. But because so many people signed up, it was moved to a larger venue, the Goebel Senior Adult Center.
