Several Chinatown locals, including longtime actor Gary Chew, were hired as extras on a film shoot today in front of the Capital Restaurant (839 Clay St.) in Chinatown for a TV movie based on the HBO series Looking, which was canceled after its second season this year. Multiple filming trailers for the shoot are parked along Washington and Davis streets in the FiDi several blocks away, in case you were wondering why they're there, but see no action.
